After five years of developing CMMC requirements, the Department of Defense has released the final rule for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program requirement for the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) supply chain, paving the way for the full definition of CMMC requirements to show up in contracts starting next year. The final rule (32 CFR 170) will be officially published on October 15th, 2024, and it establishes a definitive timeline for CMMC certification assessments to begin on December 15. 🎊 This is a BIG win for the security of critical information handled by defense contractors, as well as the small and medium-sized businesses who will find it easier to understand if they are meeting their contractual obligations. Businesses and industry associations provided input during the public comment period of developing CMMC, aiding in the direction and definition of requirements and ensuring that those reflected are robust, up-to date, and in line with with the latest cybersecurity standards and threat landscape. The goal of CMMC is to verify whether defense contractors are following cybersecurity requirements for protecting critical defense information. Many contractors will be required to receive a third-party audit under the program, a significant departure from the current regime of relying on self-attestation. Who: This is particularly important if you are a contractor or subcontractor of the US Department of Defense (DoD). As a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO), Prescient Security stands ready to help you understand how this new rule affects you. In addition to a CMMC Certified Assessor and Registered Practitioners available to assist you in preparing for the CMMC, we are an Authorized Training Provider (ATP), available to prepare assessors who wish to become CMMC Certified Professionals (CCPs), and CMMC Certified Assessors (CCAs).

Today is World Mental Health Day – a perfect time to pause and reflect on how we take care of ourselves and others, both at work and at home. 💚 In the fast pace of life, it’s easy to get caught up and forget the basics. Here are a few gentle reminders: - Take Breaks: Short, intentional breaks during the workday can do wonders for clarity and focus.  - Be Kind to Yourself: Practice self-compassion. No one has it all figured out, and that’s okay.  - Prioritize Sleep: Rest is key to both mental and physical health.   - Lean on Your Support System: Whether at work or home, don’t hesitate to reach out for support when you need it.   - Stay Connected: Meaningful connections with colleagues, friends, and family foster a sense of belonging and reduce stress. Let’s also remember to extend this kindness to those around us. A small act of empathy can go a long way. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #Wellbeing #SelfCare #WorkLifeBalance #Kindness
