CMMC Self-Assessment: Size Does Not Change the Requirement

Many defense contractors mistakenly view the suspension of CMMC Phase 2 as a reprieve, believing self-assessments are a lighter version of compliance. This assumption is dangerous. Self-assessment shifts the burden of proof to the organization, requiring a rigorous approach to cybersecurity that does not scale with size or complexity. The CMMC requirements remain unchanged, demanding full implementation regardless of an organization’s resources. As the landscape evolves, understanding the governance gaps that lead to inaccurate affirmations is crucial. Discover how to navigate these challenges and ensure your organization is prepared for future compliance verification.
