2021 Cybersecurity Recap for Government Contractors (and What to Expect in 2022) – Part 4 of 4: Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0

As 2021 draws to a close, Sheppard Mullin is sharing a recap of some of the most important cybersecurity developments they covered this past year along with some suggestions on what companies (particularly those that do business with the federal government) should expect in 2022. This is part four of a four-part series.

In November 2021, the Department of Defense announced an updated version of its cybersecurity certification program – CMMC 2.0 – which includes several changes as compared to the original CMMC program. CMMC 2.0 takes a risk based approach to protecting sensitive defense information in company systems through rigorous security requirements and third party certifications or company self-attestations.
