Think Tank Insights:

  • CMMC is cumulative in nature and self-sustaining – DoD is not funding this, though they will cover some of the cost of the early pilot and pathfinder programs 

  • Recommendation to do a readiness inspection to find the gaps & create a plan of action to bolster those areas to prepare for CMMC 

  • SAP Support offers a Secure Operations Map tool to help companies with readiness inspection and self-assessment to prepare 

  • It is important that companies do this now, because many will not have time once CMMC requirements officially drop
