What Every DoD Contractor Needs To Know
The Department of Defense has moved CMMC 2.0 from planning to enforcement. Here's what that means:
- The pause doesn't reset your timeline — readiness still takes time to build
- Certification requirements may already be in your contracts
- Failing an assessment might lead to several months of setbacks and could threaten your contractual agreements

Why Many DoD Contracts May Need To Move Sooner
Prime contractors are responsible for flowing CMMC requirements down to their subcontractors — and many are already demanding compliance on timelines ahead of the government's official schedule.
If you're a downstream supplier in a defense manufacturing chain, you may be facing a deadline set by your prime, not the DoD.
Missing a prime contractor's deadline doesn't just put your certification at risk. It puts the relationship at risk.
