Is CMMC Replacing or in Addition to DFARS? If you said that CMMC is not replacing DFARS, you’re correct! The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) is a list of regulations that can be included in any contract with the DoD. The requirement for CMMC comes from one such regulation specifically: DFARS 252.204-7021. Therefore, CMMC is a requirement because of DFARS. The original DFARS regulation that required organizations to include security controls in the first place was DFARS 252.204-7012, however, DFARS 252.204-7021 (which established CMMC) was created in addition to the DFARS 252.204-7012 requirement. In short, CMMC is simply an addition to existing DFARS regulations. Rather, the two complement one another1. The DFARS assessment is part of the CMMC 2.0 Level 2 certification and therefore cannot be looked over. Pro Tip: There is NO software that you can purchase that will instantly make your business “compliant.” There may be software that can support your compliance needs, but it cannot make you compliant. Compliance is a process that requires, not only consistent monitoring but also appropriate documentation. Having adequate documentation and updating those documents when necessary is a vital part of your business’s compliance journey. https://lnkd.in/e3BBtQFk
