Pinnacle Quality Assurance Offering Support to Many of the Over 300,000 Defense Contractors Facing the New 2025 CMMC Compliance Deadline
LOS ANGELES, April 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pinnacle Quality Assurance (PQA), America's preeminent ISO consultants since 2005, is offering consulting services to help more than 300,000 affected firms who do work for the Department of Defense, to become compliant with the new Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) standards in time for the new 2025 deadline. CMMC is a new mandate for implementing cybersecurity standards across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). The CMMC is a framework of various cybersecurity standards and best practices that is a requirement for government contractors working with the US Department of Defense (DoD).
Failure of DoD contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers, to become compliant with CMMC, will result in their inability to bid on future DoD contracts.
Additionally, "the government is considering encouraging firms who need to become compliant, to do so early, due to an escalation in cybersecurity threats which are increasingly affecting contractors. Reward ideas include providing a 4-year expiration of certification vs a 3-year certification, for early adopters", says Howard Lifton, Founder & President of PQA.
In addition to the certification requirement needing to be met every three years, the DoD, through CMMC, will require all contractors to annually make an "affirmation" of compliance, which along with, the Department of Justice's Cyber Fraud program, will heighten the risk of liability for noncompliance under the False Claims Act.
