Defense contractors are often a target of cybercrime because their protections are generally weaker than those in the DoD. To address this issue, the DoD created the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), requiring contractors to meet strict cybersecurity standards and demonstrate their compliance through a third-party assessment. The current deadline is October 25, 2025, but contractors who comply earlier may be favored in the RFP process.
