STATUS: PROCEEDING ON SCHEDULE
The Department of Defense's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification represents the next step toward securing the United States' defense industrial base and is slated to begin appearing in RFI's in the second half of 2020.
The CMMC has been developed in partnership with academia (Johns Hopkins and Carnegie Mellon) and industry leaders in the form of a listening tour and draws from a library of standards and frameworks, including NIST SP 800-171 and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
Listen to our most recent conversation with Katie Arrington at the RSA Conference in February on the status of the CMMC timeline and what to expect.
