A great article from the lawyers and worth a read, it summaries the current state of the CMMC programme. The programme has left the station and if it progresses as planned and DFARs gets updated in 2020. The impact on the Defence Industry Base (DIB) in the US and globally will be significant to say the least.
It will bring about a regulatory changes to prime contractors and subs supplying the US DoD to apply cyber security practices following NIST 800 – 171. Requiring cyber assessment and accreditation as part of the procurement process.
Why is this fundamental, in my opinion its the first piece of cyber regulation outside of Financial Services which places requirements on companies, underpinned by penalties (if you don’t comply then you maybe in breach of contract and could have contracts removed).
