CMMC FAQ
The Cyber-AB. They are a non-profit organization separate from the DOW.
Contractors that do business either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor at some level under a prime that have DFARS 252.204-7021, DFARS 252.204-7025 clause requirements in their contracts.
Historically, those clauses were DFARS 252.204-7012, which included a self-assessment requirement.
If you see these clauses in your contracts, your subcontractors should also receive them in their flow-down contracts if they receive or create CUI as part of their execution of the contract.
Currently, under CMMC, we are in the first year, so it applies to everyone with contractual requirements and a minimum self-assessment requirement. Starting in November of 2026, CMMC requirements will require a third-party (C3PAO) assessment.
Officially, CUI is defined by the National Archives.
Specifically, the DOW has 5 categories that are listed here, but the vast majority that we see “feet on the street” is controlled technical information (CTI).
Hopefully, the upstream contractor or DOW will define is CUI by utilizing a contract data requirements list (CDRL).
If you create CUI, a security classification guide (SCG) would define what the CUI is. The DOW is not consistent with labeling so by receiving documentation that seems to be consistent with CTI, refer to your contracting officer for clarification.
Scoping is the right place to start. A functional understanding of how data comes into the environment, how it moves within the environment, and where it goes is critical.
Additionally, understanding your assets in the environment provides more clarity to the flow. Assets include data, technology, people, and facilities.
Once the data flow is understood, we will conduct a gap assessment (unless it makes more sense to proceed directly to consulting based on an agreed-upon milestone calendar).
An assessment date is set fairly early so that C3PAO availability does not affect the desired timeline.
This is the toughest question to answer because there are many variables—customer capacity to work on remediation, budgets, architecture model (full enclave, hybrid enclave, or full enterprise), and security program existing maturity.
4-6 months is possible if you’re small and utilizing a full enclave. If an enterprise approach is pursued, it can take 18-24 months, as it can require significant changes to core software packages.
