The world of defense contracting just changed. The Department of Defense (DoD) has officially finalized the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), transforming it from guidance into federal law. Beginning November 10, 2025, all new DoD contracts will require CMMC compliance — meaning if you don't comply, you don't compete.
This video breaks down what the new 32 CFR Part 170 and 48 CFR rules mean for contractors, explains the four-phase rollout through 2028, and outlines exactly when and how companies must meet Level 1, 2, and 3 cybersecurity certification requirements.
Whether you're a prime contractor or subcontractor, this is your roadmap to staying compliant, competitive, and contract-ready in the new DoD cybersecurity era.
