What is CMMC?
Understanding CMMC 2.0
- Three certification levels based on the sensitivity of the information you handle
- Level 2 aligned with NIST SP 800-171 requirements
- Level 3 incorporating selected NIST SP 800-172 requirements
- Self-assessments or government-directed/third-party assessments, depending on contract requirements
- Ongoing documentation, SSPs, POA&Ms, and SPRS reporting to support compliance
Industry Update
CMMC Phase II Is Suspended. Your Cybersecurity Responsibilities Are Not.
The third-party assessment requirement may be paused, but your contractual cybersecurity requirements remain in effect.
Defense contractors are still expected to:
- Complete required NIST SP 800-171 self-assessments
- Maintain a current System Security Plan (SSP)
- Document POA&Ms
- Submit and maintain SPRS scores
- Protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in accordance with DFARS requirements
The timeline may have changed, but your obligation to safeguard federal information has not. Now is the time to strengthen your cybersecurity posture, not delay it.
