Pentagon Suspends CMMC Phase 2 as It Rethinks Contractor Cybersecurity Rules
The Pentagon has suspended the second phase of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program and established a task force to conduct a comprehensive review of contractor cybersecurity requirements. The decision indicates the defense department is reconsidering its approach to the certification framework.
Why it matters: Defense contractors and their suppliers must monitor this pause, as CMMC requirements affect their compliance obligations and ability to bid on government contracts; a reformed program may change current implementation timelines and assessment standards.
