The November 2026 CMMC Deadline and What to Expect in the Next 9 Months
With all the shifts in cybersecurity, one framework has been steadily solidifying requirements and expectations: CMMC. With the revision of CMMC 2.0 and the following feedback from vendors and the industry, it has been a years-long process to get this framework in place. Now, contractors in the DIB are seeing that framework become concrete requirements.
With the October and November deadlines approaching, organizations in the DoD supply chain must understand what’s coming and what they should do.
Preparing Personnel and Policy for CMMC
To meet CMMC requirements, organizations need a security strategy that integrates technology, people, and policies. It is important to know when to use IT solutions and when to involve HR and leadership so everyone works toward the same goals.
If you are a Department of Defense contractor preparing for CMMC certification, remember that people and policies are as important as technology.
