Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)

Important CMMC Update (July 2026):

On July 13, 2026, the Department of War suspended CMMC Phase II requirements (originally effective November 10, 2026) and launched a 60-day program review, though Phase I self-assessments remain in place. This pause does not remove your obligation to protect federal data (federal contract information or controlled unclassified information—contractors must still meet the NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 standard and comply with DFARS clause 252.204-7012. Organizations that keep advancing their readiness now will be best positioned once the program's future is finalized. Contact CohnReznick's team to understand what this means for your compliance roadmap.
