Defense contractors and DoD suppliers face mandatory CMMC certification requirements before 2026 contract renewals. CMMC Level 2 requires third-party C3PAO assessment. Level 3 requires government assessment. The clock is running.

A network outage for most businesses means lost productivity. In healthcare it means
disrupted care. The demands on your IT infrastructure — and your IT partner — are
categorically higher.
Many contractors have less time than they realize before CMMC requirements appear in their contracts. The C3PAO assessment process takes 3-6 months — requiring remediation work to be complete before the assessment begins.
Defense contractors often handle CUI across multiple facilities, remote staff, and subcontractor networks. Each location and each subcontractor must meet the same control standards — creating a complex, multi-site compliance program.
Defense contractors handling technical data for weapons systems and military equipment face ITAR controls that overlap with CMMC but have distinct requirements — including export authorizations and access controls for foreign nationals.
BetterWorld Technology designs and manages your compliance program as a continuous service — not a one-time project. Your CMMC obligations are covered by the same managed security program that handles your 24/7 monitoring and incident response.
All defense contractors handling CUI in their operational environment must be assessed by a certified C3PAO and achieve CMMC Level 2 before they can hold DoD contracts requiring it — with rollout accelerating through 2025 and 2026.
The foundational DFARS clause requiring contractors to implement NIST SP 800-171 and report incidents within 72 hours has been in force since 2017. Many contractors who self-attested compliance have significant gaps.
The DOJ Civil Cyber Fraud Initiative is using the False Claims Act to pursue contractors who misrepresented their NIST 800-171 compliance in contract certifications. The penalties are significant.
