Cyber threats targeting the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) are on the rise. In response, the US Department of Defense (DoD) has introduced a government mandated cybersecurity maturity model certification process called CMMC 2.0, building upon NIST 800-171 Rev2 to enhance the DIB’s cyber posture.

SMPL-C is an innovative GenAI software platform that streamlines the CMMC process while serving as the authoritative data source for CMMC compliance. We partner with the RPO & C3PAO community and empower the DIB to achieve L1 or L2 Self-Attestation and L2 Certification.

Our centralized compliance preparation platform and AI- guided support features ensure defense contractors are well-equipped to understand and act on the regulations to stay CMMC compliant year over year.

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to enhance the cybersecurity posture of defense contractors and subcontractors. It is designed to protect sensitive information from cyber threats, including Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI).

The CMMC proposed rule went into effect on December 26th, 2023. On February 26th, 2024, the 60-day public comment period ended, and the DoD began the final review and publication process. From this time until Q1 2025, at any time, the DoD can implement an interim or final rule publication. The defense contractors that are CMMC compliant when this drops will retain their contracts.
