2022 – Q3

CMMC: The Latest

How it will work:

  • DoD entered into an MOU (and now contract) with a
    single CMMC Accreditation Body (AB).
  • The AB will implement the CMMC model, train and
    certify assessors, and evaluate assessments. The
    AB sits between DoD and the contractors.
  • There will be three levels of assessment with the
    third being the most stringent.
  • DoD will assign a CMMC rating to each contract
    and only contractors that have had a successful
    assessment at that rating can perform.
  • It is unknown who will assign certification levels
    required to subcontractors and enforce that.
