CMMC 2.0: A Streamlined Framework

In November 2021, the DoD released CMMC 2.0, which simplified the original model and aligned more closely with existing federal cybersecurity requirements. The latest framework has three distinct levels:

Key Goals of CMMC 2.0

• Safeguard Sensitive Information
  Protect FCI and CUI to support the warfighter and national defense.

• Enhance Cybersecurity
  Strengthen defenses across the DIB to respond to evolving cyber threats.

• Ensure Accountability
  Implement enforceable, scalable assessment requirements with reduced barriers to entry.

• Foster a Cybersecurity Culture
  Build resilience and shared responsibility among prime contractors and subcontractors.

• Maintain Public Trust
  Promote transparency and ethical standards to uphold trust in government contracting.

Why CMMC Matters

If your organization handles DoD contracts—or intends to—you will need to comply with the CMMC framework to bid on and execute contracts involving FCI or CUI. Starting in 2025, CMMC requirements will be phased into DoD contracts through rulemaking in 32 CFR and updates to DFARS.
