CMMC Final Rule: A Guide for DoD Subcontractors

The Department of Defense (DoD) has finalized the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) rule, establishing a November 2026 deadline for DoD subcontractors to achieve Level 2 compliance. Security vendors are offering tools and monitoring services to help organizations meet these requirements.

Why it matters: DoD subcontractors must act now to assess their current maturity level and plan remediation efforts to meet the November 2026 deadline, avoiding contract suspension or loss of work.
