Washington. After announcing nearly two years ago that CMMC 2.0 deployment was underway, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) announced on December 26, 2023, the expected implementation of the DoD Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program. We have announced updated rules.
The new rules follow Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), a uniform standard for security introduced by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), which initially aimed to bring about cultural changes within engineering and testing organizations. That’s what I was aiming for.
The certification program is intended to strengthen the cybersecurity of the defense industrial base by mandate, according to a statement from the Department of Defense. Pentagon officials said the revised sections will allow for self-assessment of some requirements, set priorities for protecting DoD information, and help the Defense Department respond to evolving threats. Cooperation between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and industry will be strengthened.
CMMC 2.0 allows defense contractors and subcontractors with access to controlled unclassified information (CUI) to demonstrate the “maturity” of their cybersecurity programs against an increasingly sophisticated set of capabilities. You will be asked for it.
Due to scheduling and proposed rule issues, CMMC requirements could come online for contractor recruitment as early as summer 2024.
