🚨 Important Update for Defense Contractors and anyone related to the DIB: The DFARS 7021 clause, covering the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements, has just cleared a significant hurdle. The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) has completed its review, and the rule is now on its way to the Federal Register for publication. Once published, there will be a 60-day public comment period before the rule can be finalized and put into effect. Keep an eye out for the Federal Register publication—it's coming soon! We can expect 7021 to show up in contracts late Q2 next year. #Cybersecurity #CMMC #DFARS #DefenseIndustry #Compliance

Does being compliant with CMMC really matter right now? A small fraction of defense contractors have already done the hard work to prepare for these critical requirements to protect our national defense infrastructure. For the remaining ~200,000 contractors, it is a risk management decision. Can you afford to lose contracts with those clauses? Would your business stay afloat without that government customer? Could waiting hurt your business and bottom line? We have seen companies lose HUGE contracts that resulted in having to layoff people who have been there for 20 years. This stuff has a huge impact. Don’t think that you have to do it all at once! You just need to start with a solid plan and a budget. When you do this, you are ahead of the majority and will be on your way to a competitive advantage before you know it. The hardest part is getting started. Feeling stuck? Valor Cybersecurity is here to help you get ready. #cybersecurity #defense #compliance #dod
