Understanding Cyber AB’s Role in CMMC Expansion
Cyber AB is the accreditation body responsible for overseeing CMMC certification and assessments. Recently, Matt Travis of Cyber AB highlighted efforts to scale the ecosystem — a critical move to meet the growing demand amongst DoD contractors and subcontractors.
Why Scaling Matters for Your Business
- More Certified Assessors: Expanding the pool of authorized assessors means easier access to audits.
- Streamlined Certification Process: Greater standardization and resources can shorten certification timelines.
- Enhanced Enforcement: The DoD is preparing for tighter compliance checks as CMMC becomes a contractual prerequisite.
Implications for Small and Mid-Size Contractors
If you’re a small or mid-size supplier, this development means:
- Expect an increase in audit frequency and rigor.
- Need to invest in preparedness now to avoid delays or contract risks.
- Opportunity to leverage new resources and tools as the ecosystem matures.
What You Should Do Next
- Conduct a detailed gap analysis against CMMC requirements.
- Engage with accredited C3PAOs or consultants well-versed in scaled audit processes.
- Prioritize remediation efforts to address critical cybersecurity weaknesses.
