What is CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program is a set of standards all organizations must meet to bid on or renew contracts with the United States Department of Defense (DoD) contracts. CMMC applies to DoD contractors and subcontractors.
DoD released CMMC model version 1.0 in January 2020, with the anticipation it would appear in all requests for information (RFIs) in June 2020 and then in all requests for proposals (RFPs) by fall 2020. Version 1.02 was released in March. It is not retroactive for existing contractors; however, if your organization wants to bid on new contracts or renew an existing contract, you must be CMMC-certified.
