Leading A CMMC Certification for a Government Contractor

Those who specialize in defense or government contracting should be aware that as of November 10th, 2025, the government's Cyber Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements went into effect. Searchers who are looking at government contracting businesses need to pay close attention to the acquisition target's current information technology systems cyber readiness as well as what types Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) the acquisition target creates or stores. If these items haven't been addressed ahead of acquisition - you may be on the hook for costly remediation when the contracts come up for renewal. We know that contract renewals WILL CONTAIN updated CMMC requirements, so it's imperative that searchers or sellers are not caught flat-footed. I've been assisting one of my clients in developing a plan for addressing their current CMMC level and development of the required Plan of Action and Milestones (POAM) that lays out the roadmap for getting their firm into compliance with the NIST###-###-#### standards. Any brokers looking to provide a plug-in value-add service for CMMC please reach out and let's collaborate.
