CMMC New Program Rule & Informative Webinar
The Department of Defense (DoD) has finalized the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program rule. This rule ensures contractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) meet security requirements at various CMMC levels. The phased implementation will require contractors to achieve and maintain certification for eligibility in DoD contracts. This regulation emphasizes collaboration, compliance, and evolving cybersecurity standards. Full details and timelines are available on the Federal Register’s official site here.
The timeline for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) implementation includes a phased rollout approach. Initially, only select contracts will require certification to help contractors adjust. The DoD will gradually expand these requirements, ensuring that by 2026, all relevant DoD contracts will mandate CMMC certification levels. Contractors are encouraged to begin preparing immediately, as certification is required before contract award. The timeline aims to balance urgency with sufficient preparation time for industry stakeholders.
Do you have questions about the new rule? If so, K&G has partnered with MNS Group, a trusted advisor that helps DoD contractors navigate the complexities of CMMC.
