The US has been moving ahead with its CMMC programme, targeting its global Defence Industry base (DIB), with an effective date of the 30.11.2020 for its interim final ruling. Following which all contractors and subcontractors will have to demonstrate their compliance to NIST SP 800 – 171 for new contract awards, whether that is a prime to the DoD or a subcontractor to a contractor. With CMMC deployment starting in 2021. But this is all DoD focused.
The federal government is also moving ahead with its cyber protections, adding CMMC requirements into new contracts. With STARS III, the Polaris small business programme and now Defense Enterprise Office Solutions, a blanket purchase agreement for $4.4Bn. With a slight twist, the level of CMMC certification will not be defined at the master agreement level, but at task order level. Giving contract users the flexibility to set a CMMC level depending on their needs.
We included the CMMC language so it is in scope of the contract,.
A continued drive to get CMMC into Federal contracts. With flexibility to decide what level of compliance should be applied. Contractors should be careful, you could end up servicing multiple clients with different security requirements.
