Optiv Security announced new capabilities to help clients navigate Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) CMMC is a set of DOD regulations aimed at keeping the U.S. government supply chain safer by requiring 300,000+ defense contractors to protect sensitive information. Without certification, an existing or potential defense contractor may not be able to view or bid on new contracts. Full implementation of CMMC not expected until 2025, Optiv urges organizations to act now. The DIB supply chain must think strategically about their federal security strategy in pursuing opportunities bound by DFARS and CMMC.
