What is Cyber AB Doing to Scale CMMC?
Cyber AB, the organization overseeing third-party assessor accreditation for CMMC, is actively working to expand the ecosystem supporting cybersecurity certification for DoD contractors.
Why Scaling Matters
With CMMC certification becoming mandatory across more DoD contracts, the demand for qualified assessments is increasing dramatically. Scaling involves:
- Increasing the number of qualified certified assessors
- Streamlining the audit and certification process
- Ensuring smaller contractors have access to timely assessments
Implications for Small and Mid-size Contractors
For many defense subcontractors, meeting CMMC deadlines is already challenging. Scaling aims to reduce bottlenecks but also signals stricter enforcement and growing certification requirements. Contractors must:
- Start compliance efforts early
- Engage with trusted advisors for readiness
- Monitor ecosystem developments for any changes in assessment availability
What You Should Do Now
- Assess your current cybersecurity compliance against CMMC requirements
- Schedule gap analyses and plan remediation activities
- Partner with experts who understand the evolving landscape
Taking proactive steps today can safeguard your access to DoD contracts tomorrow.
