What is CMMC 2.0?

CMMC 2.0 is the next iteration of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to enhance cybersecurity across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). CMMC 2.0 streamlines the previous CMMC 1.0 model from 5 levels down to 3 levels. It aligns the requirements at each level with well-known and widely accepted NIST cybersecurity standards, such as NIST SP 800-171 and NIST SP 800-172.

The goal of CMMC 2.0 is to protect sensitive government information and technology by ensuring defense contractors and subcontractors have adequate cybersecurity measures in place.

How could this affect me and my contracts?

CMMC 2.0 will be a mandatory requirement for all contractors seeking DoD contracts. Without the appropriate CMMC certification level, small and mid-sized contractors may be ineligible to bid on or retain certain DoD contracts.

CMMC 2.0 has simplified the assessment process and allows some Level 1 and Level 2 organizations to demonstrate compliance through self-assessments, rather than requiring a more expensive third-party assessment. This helps alleviate the cost burden for small and medium-sized businesses.

The changes in CMMC 2.0 are aimed at reducing the compliance burden and costs for small and mid-sized federal contractors in the DIB, while still ensuring the protection of sensitive government information and technology.
