In this video, John Hill, CEO of TechSage Solutions, explains what really happens if your company fails to meet CMMC compliance requirements.
From lost DoD contracts to legal penalties and reputational damage, John breaks down the four major risks every defense contractor must understand:
1️⃣ No Certification, No Contract — The Department of Defense won't award contracts without the required CMMC level.
2️⃣ Legal Exposure — False Claims Act penalties can devastate your business if compliance is misrepresented.
3️⃣ Supply Chain Risk — Prime contractors are responsible for ensuring all subcontractors comply.
4️⃣ Reputation Damage — A single cybersecurity breach can destroy trust with the DoD.
John also reviews the CMMC phased rollout timeline (2025-2028), explaining when each certification level becomes mandatory:
Phase 1 (Nov 2025): Self-assessments and select third-party reviews for Levels 1-2.
Phase 2 (Nov 2026): Third-party certifications required for most Level 2 contracts.
Phase 3 (Nov 2027): Level 3 certifications for sensitive projects.
Phase 4 (Nov 2028): All DoD contracts must meet CMMC standards — no exceptions.
