IMPORTANT UPDATE: On September 10, 2025, the Department of Defense (DoD) published its long-awaited CMMC Clause Rule, applying the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program to DoD contractors and subcontractors. Beginning November 10, 2025, DoD contracts that involve handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or Federal Contract Information (FCI) may include CMMC requirements—potentially including third-party cybersecurity assessments.

• DoD contractors should review their current contracts and solicitations to determine their likely CMMC level. Because DoD contracting officers will have wide discretion to include CMMC requirements, potentially including third-party assessment requirements, in contracts and solicitations starting November 10, contractors that do not have the requisite CMMC status risk missing out on opportunities as CMMC requirements may be imposed with little warning.
• Contractors who expect to be subject to CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 self-assessments should prepare to conduct those assessments and ensure they can accurately attest to their compliance.
