With the recent federal government shutdown beginning on October 1 and no clear end in sight, many defense contractors are wondering what this means for their CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) compliance journey. The short answer: very little has changed.

CMMC Remains on Track

According to the latest updates from the Cyber AB and the CMMC Program Management Office (PMO), the November 10 effective date is still on schedule. While some PMO staff may experience temporary slowdowns due to reduced government operations, key activities continue uninterrupted.

• DIBCAC (Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity Assessment Center) continues to assess C3PAOs (Certified Third-Party Assessor Organizations).
  
• eMASS (Enterprise Mission Assurance Support Service), the DoD’s platform for system assessments, remains fully operational.
  
• Cyber AB communications and training for assessors are ongoing.
  

Why Contractors Should Stay the Course

A government shutdown doesn’t halt the DoD’s push for stronger cybersecurity standards. The need to protect sensitive defense information remains critical, and contractors who delay compliance risk falling behind once normal operations resume.

For organizations in the Defense Industrial Base, this is the perfect time to:

• Continue internal readiness assessments
  
• Address any POA&Ms (Plans of Action and Milestones)
  
• Engage with a Registered Provider Organization (RPO) or C3PAO to validate progress
  

The Bottom Line

The government shutdown may temporarily slow administrative processes, but CMMC compliance is still moving forward. Don’t let the headlines become an excuse to pause your preparations, the wheels of CMMC are still turning, and staying proactive ensures your organization is ready when certification requirements are enforced.

1. A New Cybersecurity Directive from Secretary Hegseth

In mid‑July 2025, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth issued a high‑priority memo titled “Enhancing Security Protocols for the Department of Defense.” The directive calls for the DoD Chief Information Officer (CIO) to coordinate with acquisition, intelligence, security, and R&D leadership to immediately review all IT and cloud capabilities for vulnerabilities, especially those stemming from foreign adversaries like China and Russia.

This action followed ProPublica’s investigative reporting revealing that Microsoft had once relied on China‑based engineers to support core DoD cloud systems. That dependency, though allegedly historic and since corrected by Microsoft, triggered swift executive action. Hegseth emphasized that “China will no longer have any involvement whatsoever in our cloud services”, ordering a fast, two‑week review to ensure no lingering supply chain exposure across all defense IT systems.

The memo further mandates that the DoD CIO leverage existing frameworks—CMMC, Software Fast Track, the Authority to Operate process, FedRAMP, and the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF)—as key tools for shoring up supply chain resilience within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). Within 15 days, implementation guidance must be issued to enforce this hardening of systems, with CMMC identified as a primary mechanism to fortify contractor cybersecurity.

2. Why This Directive Matters and Why CMMC Matters More Now

A. The Rising Threat of Supply Chain Compromise

Cyber threats from adversarial nation-states remain a growing concern. Supply chain attacks, including those that target vulnerabilities in software, cloud services, and outsourced development, pose serious risks. Recent global examples illustrate the devastating impact when trusted components are compromised, such as the SolarWinds breach and Log4Shell vulnerabilities.

In acknowledging these escalating risks, Secretary Hegseth’s memo signals a turning point: cybersecurity is no longer optional or merely good practice for DoD and its industrial base partners. It’s now embedded as a security imperative tied to contract eligibility and mission assurance.

B. CMMC as a Lever for Hardening the Defense Ecosystem

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program codifies DoD’s expectations for how contractors protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI). Under CMMC 2.0—fully effective as of December 16, 2024 (via 32 CFR Part 170), and soon to be integrated into DoD contract requirements under 48 CFR—contractors are assessed at one of three levels based on data sensitivity.

• Level 1 (Foundational): Protecting FCI via 17 basic FAR‑mandated practices, assessed by self‑attestation.
  
• Level 2 (Advanced): Protecting CUI through ~110 NIST SP 800‑171 controls; may require third‑party or self‑assessment depending on the contract.
  
• Level 3 (Expert): Protecting critical national securityCUI, incorporating additional requirements from NIST SP 800‑172; requires government‑led or accredited assessment.
  

CMMC embeds explicit requirements around supply chain risk management, including developing, documenting, monitoring, and updating plans and responses related to adversarial risk to systems and components (e.g. RA.L3‑3.11.6e / RA.L3‑3.11.7e).

---

3. How SME, Inc. Helps Contractors Align with the Directive

SME, Inc. specializes in guiding defense contractors through exactly this transformation: establishing a clear path to CMMC compliance to meet DoD’s new mandates, including the cybersecurity supply chain review called for by Hegseth.

A. Gap Assessment & Security Planning

SME begins with a rigorous assessment—mapping current posture against required CMMC level (typically Level 2 for CUI) and identifying gaps. This process includes drafting your System Security Plan (SSP) and Plan of Action and Milestones (POAM) to close each gap effectively, aligned with NIST SP 800‑171 and, if applicable, 172.

B. Implementing Core Controls & Vulnerability Management

Leveraging SME’s FedRAMP‑approved Vulnerability Management Solution, contractors gain the ability to proactively monitor, detect, and remediate cybersecurity issues—a critical component of CMMC compliance and supply chain resilience. As the Department now explicitly calls for supply chain hardening, having this continuous visibility becomes non‑negotiable.

C. Microsoft GCC / GCC High Migration

For contractors targeting Level 2 or Level 3 compliance, migrating to Microsoft’s Government Community Cloud (GCC or GCC High) environments is often necessary—or contractually required. SME supports the full transition and secure configuration of these environments, reducing risks tied to foreign or unvetted infrastructure usage.

D. Certification Readiness & Assessment

SME guides clients through choosing the appropriate assessment path. Level 1 and non‑critical Level 2 engagements may permit self‑assessment, while critical or high‑level engagements require an accredited C3PAO. Given the scarcity of available C3PAOs (only around 58 currently certified), early action secures access; delays risk missing contract deadlines or being priced out by more proactive competitors.

---

4. Why Contractors Should Act Now

1. The Golden Window Is Narrow

CMMC clauses may begin appearing in DoD solicitations as early as October 1, 2025. With many contractors requiring 6–12 months to fully prepare for assessment, acting today is essential just to stay in the running.

2. Competitive Edge in Bidding

Even before CMMC becomes a formal contract requirement, many RFPs now include CMMC language—and certification or readiness can yield extra evaluation points. Contractors who are certified—or visibly engaged—are increasingly viewed as lower risk and more mission‑ready.

3. Aligned with National Security Objectives

Becoming CMMC compliant isn’t just about ticking boxes; it’s about contributing to collective national defense, mitigating supply chain vulnerabilities, and upholding integrity across the Defense Industrial Base.

---

5. How This Looks in Practice: SME, Inc. in Action

Step 1: Intake and Scoping
SME’s team collaborates with your leadership to determine the appropriate CMMC level (usually Level 2 for CUI). They review existing IT systems, cloud configurations, and supply chain exposures.

Step 2: Gap Analysis and SSP/POAM Creation
A detailed mapping of required controls and documentation follows, culminating in formal SSP and POAM documents designed to remediate shortfalls.

Step 3: Vulnerability Management Implementation
SME deploys its FedRAMP‑approved VMP to automate scanning, threat detection, and continuous monitoring—essential in meeting CMMC’s risk response requirements.

Step 4: Microsoft GCC / GCC High Migration (if needed)
SME assists with configuring and securing government‑approved cloud environments per DoD guidance.

Step 5: Pre‑Assessment Review
SME performs internal readiness validation to ensure all controls meet required maturity and documentation is complete.

Step 6: Certification Engagement
Whether self‑assessment or third‑party audit, SME supports the process end to end—securing a C3PAO slot, compiling evidence packages, or assisting executive affirmation statements.

Step 7: Continuous Compliance Maintenance
Cybersecurity and threats evolve—and so do CMMC expectations. SME provides ongoing support and monitoring to keep systems secure and compliant over time.

The 32 CFR CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) rule officially went into effect on December 16, 2024, marking a significant milestone for the Department of Defense (DoD) contractor community. While this is a pivotal step, the 48 CFR CMMC rule, which implements CMMC requirements into DoD contracts, is still pending and is expected towards the end of the first quarter of 2025. This makes 2025 the critical year for CMMC compliance.

What are 32 CFR and 48 CFR CMMC?

Just to recap, 32 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 32) and 48 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 48) are both parts of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations governing different aspects of federal regulations.

32 CFR (Title 32): Establishes the CMMC program, defines cybersecurity requirements, and outlines certification levels.

48 CFR (Title 48): Will implement CMMC requirements into DoD contracts, detailing how these standards will be enforced and what must be included in DoD contracts.

While the 32 CFR rule is now in effect, the anticipated publication of the 48 CFR rule in early 2025 will fully integrate these requirements into procurement processes.

What the 32 CFR CMMC Rule Means for DoD Contractors

With 32 CFR in effect, CMMC compliance is now mandatory for securing DoD contracts. The CMMC framework ensures the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) remains secure by requiring contractors to meet specific cybersecurity standards based on the sensitivity of the Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) they manage.

DoD contractors handling CUI must now obtain a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification at the appropriate level of sensitivity to retain or secure new contracts.

Why Your Organization MUST Get CMMC

Non-compliance with the CMMC rule will lead to lost contracts—plain and simple. To stay competitive in the industry and maintain current DoD contracts, achieving certification is a must.

How to Comply with CMMC

Organizations can begin their compliance journey by adopting robust cybersecurity solutions like Microsoft 365 Government Community Cloud (GCC) or GCC High.

• Microsoft GCC: Ideal for organizations meeting lower-level CMMC requirements, providing secure email, multi-factor authentication, and enhanced data loss prevention.
• Microsoft GCC High: Designed for higher-level CMMC requirements, meeting DFARS compliance and supporting ITAR and CJIS needs.

Additionally, organizations must implement other cybersecurity controls and pass a third-party audit.

The Department of Defense (DoD) has taken a significant step in enhancing the cybersecurity framework for defense contractors with the finalization of the 32 CFR CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) rule. This long-awaited rule has officially cleared regulatory review and is set to be published shortly, making CMMC compliance a critical requirement for contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

With the publication of this rule imminent, contractors must act quickly to achieve CMMC certification. Failure to comply with these standards can result in disqualification from future DoD contracts. The time is now to ensure your cybersecurity practices meet these stringent requirements.

What the 32 CFR CMMC Rule Means for DoD Contractors

The CMMC framework is designed to secure the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) by requiring contractors to adhere to specific cybersecurity standards based on the type of information they handle. Under the final rule, contractors dealing with CUI will be expected to achieve a CMMC certification level that aligns with the sensitivity of the information they manage.

To remain competitive in the defense sector, contractors must implement robust cybersecurity controls, pass a third-party audit, and maintain certification over time. The need to become compliant is urgent, and organizations must start preparing now.

Why GCC/GCC High is Essential for CMMC Compliance

Not all collaboration tools are created equal when handling sensitive government data. Microsoft 365 Government Community Cloud (GCC) and GCC High are specifically designed to meet the security and compliance needs of organizations working with the U.S. government. These platforms provide a secure environment for sharing and storing CUI, making them a critical part of any contractor’s CMMC compliance strategy.

• Microsoft GCC: This environment offers heightened security for handling CUI and ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) data. It includes features like multi-factor authentication, secure email, and enhanced data loss prevention. For many contractors, GCC provides a robust foundation for meeting lower-level CMMC requirements.
• Microsoft GCC High: For contractors working on more sensitive DoD projects, GCC High is often a necessity. It offers even greater protection and is designed to comply with DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) requirements and support ITAR and CJIS (Criminal Justice Information Services) needs. GCC High is especially useful for contractors aiming to achieve higher CMMC certification levels.

As a Department of Defense (DoD) contractor, achieving Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance is not just a regulatory requirement—it’s a crucial step in safeguarding sensitive government data and ensuring the security of national defense operations. Among the many requirements of CMMC, having a robust Vulnerability Management Program (VMP) in place is essential. This is where Systems Management Enterprises, Inc. (SME) can be your trusted partner.

The Importance of Vulnerability Management in CMMC

CMMC is designed to ensure that DoD contractors have the necessary cybersecurity controls to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI). One of the critical areas of focus within CMMC is the identification, management, and remediation of vulnerabilities within a contractor’s IT infrastructure.

A Vulnerability Management Program (VMP) systematically identifies, evaluates, and addresses security weaknesses across your network, systems, and applications. Without a VMP, your organization is at risk of cyberattacks that can lead to data breaches, financial loss, and the loss of valuable contracts.

Are You A DoD Contractor With Questions About The Final Rulemaking Process And Implementation Of CMMC 2.0?  

If you answered yes to that question, you’re not alone. 

CMMC 2.0 has been a long time in the making. And while we’re not in the final stage of implementation yet, we’re getting closer by the day.

With timelines for certification stretching into Q1 2025, the time to prepare is now.

In this post, we’ll provide clarification for DoD contractors in these four critical areas:

• What should you expect to happen this year?
• What can we expect in early calendar year 2024? 
• When should you expect CMMC language to start appearing in your contracts? 
• When should you start your certification process? 

So let’s get started with the basics.

What Should You Expect To Happen This Year?

The good news is the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) has concluded its review of the CMMC 2 Program, as reported on their official website:     

So with the mandatory regulatory review process by OIRA complete, we expect to see the CMMC 2.0 Rule published in the Federal Register sometime before the end of CY 2023. 

Again, that’s great news, but there is still some ambiguity about exactly how the Rule will be published. It could show up as an “Interim Final Rule” or a “Proposed Rule.” 

That designation is important and will have a major impact on when CMMC 2.0 could become effective.

More on that later.

What Can We Expect In Early Calendar Year 2024? 

There are two paths we can expect for CMMC 2.0 in 2024. Those paths depend on how the Rule is published, i.e. as a Proposed Rule or an Interim Final Rule. We found a great explanation of the difference between the two at the Federal Register: 

Interim Final Rule: When an agency finds that it has good cause to issue a final rule without first publishing a proposed rule, it often characterizes the rule as an “interim final rule,” or “interim rule.” This type of rule becomes effective immediately upon publication. In most cases, the agency stipulates that it will alter the rule if warranted by public comments. If the agency decides not to make changes to the interim rule, it generally will publish a brief final rule in the Federal Register confirming that decision.

If the Rule is published as an Interim Final Rule, CMMC will most likely go into effect in Q1 2024, since public comments do not have to be reviewed and addressed before publication of the Final Rule. 

This time frame would provide for a 60 day public comment period after being published in the Federal Register by OIRA in December 2023 with no extensions.

If it’s published as a Proposed Rule, which many experts believe is the more likely scenario, there will be an approximately 12-month public comment review and analysis period before the final CMMC 2.0 Rule takes effect. That takes us into Q1 2025. 

It’s also important to note that DoD will not be making any public comments or official announcements, webinars, etc., until after the final rulemaking process is finished and all public comment and review periods are complete.

We’re not going to speculate on which scenario is more likely. Instead, we’re going to provide you with actionable information on when and how to prepare for either scenario.

We’ve covered a lot of ground, so let’s wrap it all up.

When Should You Expect CMMC Language To Start Appearing In Your Contracts? 

This one is a binary answer. It looks like either Q1 2024 or Q1 2025. 

If the CMMC 2.0 Rule is published as an Interim Final Rule this December (2023), you’re looking at CMMC 2.0 compliance language and requirements potentially showing up in your contracts in Q1 2024. If it’s published as a Proposed Rule, you’re looking at Q1 2025. 

What does that mean for you as a DoD contractor or subcontractor?

Since NIST 800-171 is the wellspring of the 110 CMMC Level 2.0 certification requirements, we’ll use that standard as your preparedness benchmark to determine your certification timelines. 

When Should You Start Your Certification Process? 

We agree with the DoD CIO:

The Department encourages contractors to continue to enhance their cybersecurity posture during the interim period while the rulemaking is underway.

Now let’s look at some timelines for Levels 1,2, and 3 certifications.

We’re estimating that it will take roughly 2-4 months for an average Level 1 assessment and implementation, where certification by a C3PAO is not required.

We expect that timeframe to be 10-20 months for a CMMC 2.0 Level 2 assessment, implementation, and certification process.

A CMMC 2.0 Level 2 assessment, implementation, and certification process looks like a 12 – 18 month minimum process.

These timelines place an immediate start time on your certification process, even given the best-case scenario of CMMC 2.0 getting published as a Proposed Rule.

As always, your CMMC 2.0 certification timeframe will depend on your organization’s state of cybersecurity readiness and technical capabilities.

If you haven’t started preparing for CMMC 2.0 yet, don’t panic, we’re here to help.
