CMMC / DFARS NIST 800-171 Assessment Services

Are you really DFARS 252.204.7012/NIST 800-171 compliant now?  

Are you getting ready for CMMC?

Do you have a roadmap to transition from DFARS/NIST 800-171 to CMMC?

The Clock is Ticking. Will you be able to keep your existing DoD contracts or be able to bid or sub on New DoD contracts? 

• All DoD contracts will require CMMC compliance and third-party certification in FY2021.

• DoD contractors must meet CMMC standards to hold selected DoD contracts starting in Summer 2020.

DoD leadership is profoundly concerned about contractor cybersecurity and protecting DoD supply chains from cyber attack is a top priority.

DoD stated that traditional measures of contractor performance cost, schedule and quality are insufficient to measure contractor cyber security.  Limited adoption of NIST 800-171 self-certification standards prompted the DoD to seek third-party auditor verification that contractors adopt and maintain an appropriate level of cyber security.

By developing an auditable process, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), DoD mandates measurable standards for third-party verified cyber security for all contractors.
