The October 1, 2025 deadline to achieve the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is quickly approaching. Failing to meet this requirement means losing eligibility for DoD contracts.
The CMMC is the Department of Defense’s standard for safeguarding sensitive information across the defense supply chain. Level 2 compliance—which applies to most mid-sized contractors —requires organizations to implement 110 security practices aligned with NIST 800-171, then pass a third-party assessment that confirms compliance. The new requirement is designed to reduce risk, improve accountability, and ensure that companies with access to DoD-designated Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) have proper safeguards in place.
If you’re like most businesses, you don’t have the time, resources, or in-house expertise to assess your current security measures against all 110 required practices, figure out what’s missing, and prioritize what needs to be done. That’s where Freeman Clarke comes in.
