About this listen

It's difficult to keep up with all of the moving parts that make up the Department of Defense's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Program. It's even more difficult to keep up with the relevant bits and bites that influence CMMC. This weekly podcast sums up the news and developments relevant to CMMC; DFARS and other regulations; and NIST standards such as SP 800-171, SP 800-53, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and others.

    When Will CMMC be in Defense Contracts?
    May 22 2025

    The CMMC program regulation went into effect in December 2024, but the DoD can't insert CMMC requirements in contracts until they finish revising regulatory contract clause language. The window for the long-awaited contract clause final rule is opening next month. We predict that CMMC will start showing up in defense contracts between June – October 2025.

    The DoD is Mad as Hell About Cyber Noncompliance
    May 15 2025

    Katie Arrington is the architect of the CMMC program, currently performing the duties of the DoD CIO, and she is ultra pissed that defense contractors haven't improved their cybersecurity posture while she was gone for 3 short years. This week we dive into Katie's keynote at AFCEA TechNet Cyber 2025 where she didn't mince words about CMMC, the DIB, and the coming storm.
