The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

TIME IS OF ESSENCE! Schedule an IT / Cloud Infrastructure Audit with WWCM to support your organization's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 readiness.

The CMMC is a new framework developed by the DoD that requires third-party audits of defense industrial base (DIB) contractor cybersecurity practices.  DoD contract holders and subcontractors to DoD contracts that interact with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) will be required to comply with and assessed to the CMMC. Updated requirements known as CMMC 2.0 are undergoing review through government rulemaking. Get prepared now before it's too late!

With respect to CMMC/NIST/DFARS compliance the timetable for the final CMMC interim rule was March of 2023 and in new contracts May of 2023, the Pentagon released a recent memo (see link below) advising Contracting Officers to start enforcing the DFARS-7012 clause ASAP.
