CMMC 2.0 represents a significant change in government approach to cybersecurity
The impending release of the Cyber Maturity Model Certification 2.0 (CMMC 2.0) in the US market is causing a buzz in the cybersecurity community, and for good reason. CMMC 2.0 is set to be a major update to the original CMMC framework to improve the security of the US Department of Defense (DoD) supply chain.
As the CRO of 6clicks, a global GRC software leader, Michelle Teunissen is uniquely positioned to help organisations prepare for CMMC 2.0. In her view, CMMC 2.0 represents a significant shift in the US government’s approach to cybersecurity, with a greater emphasis on continuous monitoring and third-party risk management.
One key aspect of CMMC 2.0 is the requirement for organisations to conduct regular self-assessments of their cybersecurity posture. Teunissen recommends conducting self-assessments now, using the original CMMC framework as a guide. This will help organisations identify any weaknesses in their cybersecurity program and take steps to address them before CMMC 2.0 is released.
