What Changed on November 10th, 2025?
The DoD’s CMMC rule became effective November 10, 2025, beginning nationwide enforcement. Contracting officers can now require certification for award, replacing the old self-attestation model. Organizations handling CUI must demonstrate compliance, and primes are already requiring proof from subcontractors.
Understanding the new CMMC Compliance Rules
Why This Is Different From What You’ve Been Doing
For years, CMMC was discussed but inconsistently enforced. Many contractors assumed that meeting basic cybersecurity practices and self-attesting was sufficient. That assumption no longer holds.
The biggest takeaway is this: You can no longer assume you’re compliant. You must prove it.
Who needs CMMC Certification?
CMMC applies to any organization within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) that handles Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). This includes:
Direct DoD contractors responding to solicitations
Subcontractors at any tier supporting prime contractors
Managed service providers with access to FCI or CUI environments
Suppliers and partners processing defense-related data
If you respond to DoD solicitations or support a prime, you must know your required CMMC level and achieve certification before award.
