Who Needs CMMC Certification?

Any business and/or organization within the US Department of Defense (DoD) supply chain—including prime contractors and subcontractors—will be required to achieve at least one of the levels of CMMC compliance. According to the DoD, CMMC compliance regulations will apply to over 300,000 different organizations.

When CMMC 2.0 is implemented, self-assessments, based on the CMMC level assigned, will be required on an annual basis. Contractors are also required to safeguard information by inclusion of contract clauses including FAR 52.204-21 (for FCI) or DFARS 252.204-7012 (for CUI).
