CMMC Strategic Actions for DoD Contractors

CUI may exist in your environment if you support DoD contracts.

  • Conduct a CUI Footprint Analysis: Engage Legal, IT, Procurement, and Contracts teams to identify how CUI is created, stored, or transmitted within your operations. CUI environment must be clearly defined to scope your CMMC assessment.

  • Perform CUI Discovery and Asset Categorization: Use CMMC Assessment Guide to classify CUI Assets, SPAs, and CRMAs. Clearly define your assessment boundary. Remediation and documentation must be completed before C3PAO assessment.

  • Develop a Remediation Roadmap: Address compliance gaps with a prioritized plan, and prepare objective evidence for each practice ahead of your assessment. NIST SP 800-171 obligations apply to your subcontractors and suppliers.

  • Enhance Supply Chain Cybersecurity Oversight: Review DFARS clauses and flow-down language. Evaluate supplier compliance and document responsibilities. NIST SP 800-171 Revision 3 will introduce new and updated controls.

  • Future-Proof Your Implementation: Begin aligning with Rev. 3 by addressing logging, monitoring, and system configuration improvements now. Expect adoption in future CMMC updates.

  • Begin Readiness Preparation Now: CMMC Final Rule is expected to go into effect in late 2025. Don't wait for the rule to finalize. Prepare for assessments by 2025, especially if you handle CUI and will require Level 2 certification.

  • Track Solicitation Requirements Closely: Identify contracts likely to include CMMC clauses and position your business to meet certification timelines. Level 1 self-assessments require executive affirmation and carry liability.

  • Ensure Executive Buy-In and Accountability: Confirm annual SPRS submission and prepare for executive affirmation with proper internal documentation and review.

  • Follow the Latest CMMC Scoping Guidance: Include all applicable assets in your boundary and maintain detailed documentation and system security plans (SSPs).

  • Document Third-Party Dependencies: Ensure in scope ESP’s/CSP’s are assessed for compliance, and clarify roles in your SSP and shared responsibility models.

  • Validate CSP Compliance: Ensure cloud environments (e.g., Azure Gov, AWS GovCloud) meet FedRAMP Moderate and use government-authorized regions only.

  • Engage a C3PAO or Registered Practitioner Early: Begin pre-assessment consultations and readiness reviews well before RFP release or award timelines. DFARS clauses are actively enforced and updated.

  • Review Contractual Clauses for Accuracy: Ensure compliance with DFARS 7012, 7019, 7020, and 7021, and maintain accurate records for audit readiness.
