LEVEL 1

LEVEL 2

LEVEL 3

ExpertEncompasses 127 Practices from Levels 1 and 2, with additional requirements for suppliers working with CUI from the most sensitive DOD programs. Specific requirements are still being finalized but are expected to include more controls from NIST 800-172.

The Evolution to CMMC 2.0

CMMC 2.0 Timeline

CMMC 2.0 is in the final phase of rulemaking and is expected to take effect by late 2024. Beginning in 2025, the DoD will gradually roll out CMMC requirements across its programs over a five-year period, eventually making CMMC compliance mandatory for all programs.
