The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program has reached a significant milestone. As of December 16, 2024, the Department of Defense (DoD) has codified CMMC in the Code of Federal Regulations (32 CFR Part 170). This milestone brings critical updates for defense contractors and the CMMC Ecosystem, setting the stage for the next phase of implementation.
What’s Changing?
- CMMC Level 2 Certification Assessments Begin January 2, 2025
Authorized CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs) will soon conduct voluntary assessments for organizations ready to achieve CMMC Level 2 certification. - New Code of Professional Conduct (CoPC)
A revised CoPC for CMMC Ecosystem participants is now in effect. It ensures that all assessors and authorized organizations adhere to high professional standards. - CMMC Assessment Process (CAP)
This guide outlines procedural requirements for C3PAOs conducting CMMC Level 2 assessments. - Updated CMMC Marketplace
Starting January 2, 2025, the marketplace will display authorized C3PAOs and certified assessors meeting the requirements under 32 CFR 170.11.
What Does This Mean for You?
While mandatory CMMC contractual requirements won’t take effect until the CMMC Title 48 Final Rule is approved, this is the time to prepare. Voluntary assessments offer a head start on compliance, ensuring your organization is ready when requirements become mandatory.
