CMMC & DFARS

Compliance Guide

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements are shifting the cybersecurity paradigm for defense contractors.

 

Third-party auditors are required to determine whether contractors’ cybersecurity platforms are mature enough to handle high-profile, revenue-boosting contracts with the Department of Defense.

 

What is the interim rule and how will it affect defense contractors?

The Interim Rule requires DoD government contractors to possess at least a basic NIST SP-800-171 DoD Assessment that is no more than three years old at the time of the award. These changes are required by November 30th, which means companies need to:

  • Complete the DoD assessment through the DCMA
  • Post their summary scores to the DoD
  • Achieve and maintain a CMMC certification at the level specified in a solicitation at the time of the award
