CMMC 2.0 Is FINALLY Here - What Happens Next (with Stacy Bostjanick)

It’s been a long and wild ride on this #cmmc ship! ⛵

In this episode, I speak with Stacy Bostjanick who is the Director of the CMMC program at DoD CIO!

Here are some highlights from the episode:

Expectations for the initial phase in of CMMC
Who determines CMMC levels for contracts?
How will CMMC waivers work?
Criteria for CMMC level 2 self-assessments and CMMC level 3
Early use of NIST 800-171 r3
And so much more!

First mentioned in 2019, CMMC 1.0 was released in 2020 under the Trump administration.

CMMC 1.0 was reviewed during the Biden administration, they released CMMC 2.0 in late 2021, and then… There was a great silence.

If you threw a small rock, you’d hit ten people who thought CMMC was going away.

All this time though, the DoD was quietly marching on.

They released the proposed CMMC program rule in December 2023 and released the final CMMC program rule in October 2024 - which is now EFFECTIVE.

After all of that, CMMC will FINALLY begin to phase into DoD solicitations and contracts by this summer.

CMMC has been a LONG time coming, and it was an honor to hear the back story and why certain decisions were made!

What were your biggest takeaways? Let me know in the comments!
