For government contractors who want to get a head start on CMMC 2.0 compliance, the time to start is now.
It’s especially challenging for companies without an in-house security team.
The process of getting an initial assessment, filling gaps, and then proceeding with a formal CMMC audit can take anywhere from 12 to 18 months.
Commencing now not only boosts your chances of securing business this year but also provides a head start over your competitors, and ensures that you’ll be ready to go when CMMC 2.0 compliance is mandated.
CMMC 2.0 is a comprehensive framework laid out by the Department of Defense (DoD) to protect the Defense Industrial Base’s unclassified information from increasingly complex cyber-attacks.
All 300,000+ DoD contractors and subcontractors must be CMMC 2.0 compliant by 2026 in order to continue working with the DoD.
