The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification effort builds on existing regulations DFARS 7012 and the NIST 800-171 framework.  The key word here is “Certification”, because like a vehicle safety inspection or a food safety inspection, there will be a formal process of Certification and Accreditation (C&A).  Meaning — no certificate, no work with the DoD or within its supply chain.  About 300,000 US companies are expected to fall under the umbrella of the CMMC.
