The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) established the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program to strengthen the security of the defense industrial base and protect sensitive information. The final rule making CMMC contractually enforceable was issued by the DoD in September 2025, with implementation starting on November 10, 2025.
