🔊 The DoD CIO web page provides great resources and an overview of CMMC Assessments CMMC 2.0 implements tiered assessment requirements based on the sensitivity of the information shared with a contractor. Upon implementation of CMMC 2.0: Contractors who do not handle information deemed critical to national security (Level 1 and a subset of Level 2) will be required to perform annual self-assessments against clearly articulated cybersecurity standards. Contractors managing information critical to national security will be required to undergo CMMC Level 2 third-party assessments. The highest priority, most critical defense programs (Level 3) will require government-led assessments. Self- Assessments The Department views Level 1 as an opportunity to engage its contractors in developing and strengthening their approach to cybersecurity. Self-assessments will suffice to meet CMMC Level 1 requirements. Likewise, a subset of programs with Level 2 requirements do not involve information critical to national security, and associated contractors will be permitted to meet the requirement through self-assessments. Contractors will be required to conduct self-assessment on an annual basis, accompanied by an annual affirmation from a senior company official that the company is meeting requirements. The Department intends to require companies to register self-assessments and affirmations in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). Third-Party Assessments Once CMMC 2.0 is implemented, contractors will be required to obtain a third-party CMMC Level 2 assessment for a subset of acquisitions that involve information critical to national security.

https://lnkd.in/eT_prjYY #CMMC Practitioner Pro Tip: When an Organization Seeking Certification (OSC) reaches out to a CMMC Third Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO) for a CMMC evaluation, it is essential for the OSC to specify the particular units within their organization that will participate in the assessment. There are three specific scoping units to be identified: the Headquarters (HQ) Organizational Unit, the Host Unit, and any Supporting Units. It is mandatory for the OSC to clearly define their HQ Organizational Unit, their Host Unit (should it be distinct), and all Supporting Units during their CMMC Assessment request.
