CMMC Rule will be posted on 12/26/2023 and begin the 60-day public comment period. The current projection is that it will become a final rule within 1 year. Therefore, Q1 or Q2 2025 should start seeing the requirement in contracts. What does that mean? What we have been saying all along! CMMC is not going away, it is something that should be taken seriously, if you haven’t already. It will be a requirement if DoD Contracts are part of your business. Stuck, need help, confused, or don’t know where to start, we can help! Our Complete Compliance as a Managed Service Program is designed to walk small to medium-sized businesses through the entire process to obtain and then maintain compliance with CMMC / NIST 800-171.

https://lnkd.in/eeSaExrr Great tip! Preparing for a #CMMC audit involves several key steps. The Organization Seeking Certification (OSC) should gather the results of their most recent self-assessment, a preliminary list of anticipated evidence, the System Security Plan (SSP), and a list of personnel involved in the procedures. Before selecting a Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO), it's crucial to discuss the adequacy and sufficiency of the evidence. While the adequacy of artifacts remains consistent, the sufficiency of the evidence can vary significantly. This preparation ensures a smoother audit process and helps address any potential gaps early on.
On 26 Dec 23 CMMC was posted to the Federal Register. The 60-day comment period is now underway. Once the comment period ends on February 26, 2024, DoD will adjudicate and respond to all relevant comment. This process could take 12-18 months, with the Final Rule expected to be published in late 2024 or early 2025. Once CMMC is incorporated into DFARS, contractors may be required to achieve CMMC certification prior to contract award. CMMC will be fully phased in over a 3 year period, likely starting Jan 2025. Now is the time to begin the process of becoming CMMC compliant. Let Security Paradigms perform a readiness assessment for your Level 1 or Level 2 organization and provide you with an initial level of readiness as well as a POAM for achieving compliance BEFORE the rule goes live. Once the rules goes live, you must be compliant PRIOR to award of contract. Security Paradigms has CMMC certified consultants with years of experience implementing both DFARS as well as NIST SP800-171/172. Message us today for an initial visit and initial review.
