What DoD Contractors Need to Know Now
South Bay Chapter webinar on Wednesday, March 26, 2025
Big changes regarding cybersecurity requirements have arrived for DoD contractors and subcontractors! On August 15, 2024, the Department of Defense (DoD) introduced a groundbreaking proposed rule to overhaul the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and enhance its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 program. The CMMC program went into effect December 16th, 2024. The 48 CFR rule, which will define how CMMC certification requirements are included in government contracts, is expected to be finalized soon. (As early as Spring 2025.) This new framework will reshape cybersecurity compliance for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in the DoD supply chain.
Is Your Organization Ready?
With stricter compliance mandates, mandatory third-party audits, and increased enforcement, the new rule significantly raises the bar for cybersecurity readiness. Contractors must demonstrate compliance before contract award—and maintain it throughout the contract lifecycle.
