By May 2023, the Department of Defense (DOD) plans to increase Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance as a prerequisite for contractors to qualify to bid (and ultimately receive contract funds).
Manufacturers, contractors, and suppliers who are members of (and/or affiliated with) the U.S. Defense Industrial Base (DIB) must prepare now to ensure assessment readiness.
