The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) originally introduced the framework for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 1.0 (CMMC) program in September 2020. The idea behind this initiative is to merge several cybersecurity control standards, including NIST SP 800-171, into a single, unified standard. In November 2021, the DOD announced “CMMC 2.0,” an updated program structure and requirements. The primary goals are to safeguard sensitive information to enable and protect the warfighter, dynamically enhance DIB cybersecurity to meet evolving threats, ensure accountability while minimizing barriers to compliance with DoD requirements, contribute towards instilling a collaborative culture of cybersecurity and cyber resilience, and maintain public trust through high professional and ethical standards.  All DoD Contractors will be required to comply once the forthcoming rules go into effect.

JAMIS has you covered. We've gathered many of the top cybersecurity experts in the federal contracting industry to give you the lowdown on what to expect, when to expect it, who needs be involved, and how to prepare for it.

The CMMC Readiness Group is comprised of the JAMIS team in combination with a panel of experts in Cybersecurity and the GovCon regulatory and compliance landscape in general. The intention of the group is to:

1. Provide awareness and education to JAMIS customers and partners on the topic of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) as it is being rolled out to the federal contracting industry.
2. Data security is a very high priority for JAMIS, and staying engaged with industry experts and customers on this journey to a new frontier is the best way for us to prepare for a new regulatory environment.
