DoD Cybersecurity – Are You Meeting Current CMMC Requirements?

DoD Cybersecurity – Are You Meeting Current CMMC Requirements?

Join NJMEP for a brief webinar to discuss the current CMMC changes.
Learn how these changes impact you and what you need to get DoD contracts, including:
• The notable changes to CMMC 2.0 and why they matter.
• Your current DFARS Requirements
• How DIB contractors can prepare for these upcoming changes.
• Future planning to get, and remain, in compliance.

Every manufacturer in the Defense Industrial Base must be compliant with CMMC Version 2.0 Update within the next few months. The time is now to prepare for stricter data protection regulations that will be required in your contracts. This cyber security program not only is required for DoD business you will have an enhanced environment to gain the trust of customers and increase your revenue.
The CMMC 2.0 is the most recent version of the DoD’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). Built on a foundation of NIST SP 800-171, the CMMC 2.0 establishes three certification levels that reflect the maturity and reliability of a company’s cybersecurity infrastructure to safeguard sensitive government information on the contractors’ systems. Under CMMC, a contractor must be certified to be eligible to bid on, win or participate on a contract.
Without a valid CMMC certification the prime and/or sub will be barred from the contract (May 2023 is the target date for contract inclusion). Unlike previous requirements to be NIST SP 800-171 compliant, under CMMC the contractor can NOT self-certify.
