Need help with compliance?

The clock is ticking for manufacturers in the defense industrial base. The cybersecurity maturity model certification or CMMC is here. If you want to continue working with the Department of Defense, you need to be prepared. At Corsica Technologies, we're here to help you navigate the road to compliance. So what is CMMC? It's a unified cybersecurity standard created by the Department of Defense to protect federal contract information and controlled unclassified information. CMMC has three levels of compliance. Most manufacturers who handle CUI will need to achieve level two, which involves a hundred and ten secondurity controls based on NIST SP eight hundred one seventy one revision two. The CMMC two point o final rule became effective on December sixteenth twenty twenty four. The rollout was happening starting in mid twenty twenty five when the acquisition rule took effect. Phase one will require self assessments for many contracts. Phase two, beginning one year later, will mandate third party c three p a o assessments for level two compliance. By October twenty twenty five, all DoD contractors and subcontractors must be CMMC compliant, affecting an estimated three hundred thousand companies. The key takeaway? We're already in phase one, and if you haven't started preparing, you're behind. So what should you be doing right now? First, determine which CMMC level your organization needs to achieve. For most manufacturers handling CUI, it'll be level two. Next, conduct a thorough gap assessment to identify your compliance gaps. This is a critical step, and it's where many companies realize they need help. CMMC compliance isn't just about technology. It covers access controls, employee training, incident response, risk assessments, and much more. Once you have identified your gaps, you need to plan to close them. This can be a complex and time consuming process, often requiring forty hours per week for eighteen months or more. Don't wait until it's too late.
