U.S. DOD CONTRACTS ARE AT STAKE
You were supposed to comply with NIST 800-171 in 2017, and are technically in breach of contract if you aren't.
Soon DoD RFP’s will state “you must be CMMC level X.” This is a gamechanger. If you aren't compliant by award time, you will lose the business. It's that simple.
I.T. COMPANIES NEED CYBER HELP
All of our CMMC clients work with I.T. firms, many of whom are excellent.
Yet when we get involved, we still find that they're missing 50-75% of what they need to do for CMMC to keep your government contracts.
TIME IS RUNNING OUT
CMMC requirements should be finalized in 2023 or early 2024. If you're waiting for the final rules, you're waiting too long.
It takes, on average, 6-18 months to become compliant and the auditors are looking for processes to be in place at least 6 months before the audit.
