On October 14, the DoD published the final rule implementing the CMMC program. Fundamentally, CMMC is a verification requirement to ensure contractors are complying with DFARS 252.204-7012 and 252.204-7020 and that the DoD has visibility into contractor cybersecurity systems. However, it adds a significant compliance burden to any organization that processes, stores, or transmits Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Over the next few years, contractors will race to implement the necessary cybersecurity controls to ensure compliance with the applicable CMMC level and consequently, their eligibility for contract award.
To navigate these requirements, please join the Chair of Bass, Berry & Sims’ Government Contract practice group, Todd Overman, and government contracts attorney, Adam Briscoe, for a webinar discussing the program, the timeline for its implementation, and what contractors should know as they start implementing the necessary security controls.
