Earlier this week CMMC director Stacy Bostjanick announced an official timeline for the CMMC rollout. The Pentagon plans to publish the CMMC ‘interim rule’ by May 2023, with initial requirements showing up in DoD contracts 60 days after the rule publication: https://insidecybersecurity.com/share/13400
Depending on the current status, we estimate 6-12 months to prepare for a CMMC Level 2 certification assessment. The bottleneck will be the availability of C3PAOs as everybody will want to get certified at the same time. In other words – it’s time to get ready sooner than later to ensure eligibility for those new contracts.
