CMMC 2.0 enforces the protection of controlled unclassified information (CUI) created and shared between the DoD, its contractors, and subcontractors.
Achieving CMMC certification is more than a checkbox. With the OMB publishing the CMMC Rule the clock is officially ticking. Once the Rule is final, CMMC certification will be a prerequisite for all contractors and subcontractors to continue or start doing business with the Department of Defense (DoD). CMMC certification for these organizations is both a business enabler and a competitive advantage.
However, preparing for CMMC is an involved process, even for CMMC self-assessments. DIB members that haven’t started preparing for their CMMC certification assessments must be aware that the time to become assessment-ready will likely extend beyond the Rule becoming final.
The time to start is now. It’s time to get expert help.
CMMC certification is more than just a formality for suppliers; it’s your gateway to new business opportunities. Yet, staying on top of the ever-evolving requirements can be challenging.

CMMC 2.0, or the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0, is a contract requirement for Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors to do business with the Department of Defense (DoD). Compliance is measured by achieving appropriate certification at one of three levels, every three years; and by affirming compliance with the requirements in the off years between assessments. The requirements vary from level to level increasing in rigor from Level 1 to Level 3
 Department of Defense (DoD) contractors and subcontractors that will process, store, or transmit Federal Contact Information (FCI) or Federally Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). CMMC requirements apply will apply to all DoD solicitations and contracts requiremend defense contractors and subcontractors to process, store, or transmit FCI or CUI. Any entity within the DoD supply chain, including subcontractors and those receiving derived funding, must adhere to one of the three maturity levels established by CMMC 2.0 once it becomes effective. Your specific contractual obligations will determine your maturity level.
CMMC will be rolled out in a four (4) phased implementation plan:
The DoD will include the CMMC Program requirement in all applicable solicitations and contracts, including option periodds on contracts awarded prior to the beginning of Phase 4.
Preparation for CMMC involves understanding the requirements for the specific level you’re aiming to achieve, conducting an initial assessment of your current cybersecurity posture, and then implementing necessary changes or improvements. It’s often beneficial to seek guidance from a CMMC Registered Provider Organization (RPO) such as Summit Security Group.
