SUMMARY:Roundtable on Department of War’s Request for Information for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Reform Task Force
DESCRIPTION:On July 13\, 2026\, DoW issued an RFI seeking feedback from companies in the defense industrial base that will be used to inform the agency’s new CMMC Reform Task Force. \nCMMC is a tiered program used to assess the cybersecurity compliance of anyone doing business with DoW. On July 13\, 2026\, the DoW suspended Phase II CMMC requirements\, which were supposed to take effect on November 10\, 2026. The DoW also established a CMMC Reform Task Force “to comprehensively review the program and deliver actionable recommendations for reform.” \nThe DoW is seeking “industry perspectives on utilizing existing commercial cybersecurity capabilities\, leveraging and optimizing self-attestation capabilities\, and streamlining cybersecurity compliance requirements.” \nIn the RFI\, DoW poses the following questions: \n\nIdentify the top five most prohibitive cost drivers\, administrative burdens\, or operational challenges your organization has experienced\, or anticipates to experience\, when attempting to comply with the CMMC framework and NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2.\nWhich specific security controls has your organization found to deliver the most tangible uplift of cybersecurity and actual risk reduction?\nConversely\, which specific regulatory requirements or security controls create the highest administrative overhead and financial burden with the least measurable improvement to your actual cybersecurity posture?\nDescribe how your organization utilizes existing commercial cybersecurity capabilities\, platforms\, managed services\, or any other additional strategies or initiatives to safeguard data\, improve operational resiliency\, and reduce cybersecurity risk\, and how the DoW might better recognize or accept these commercial solutions within a compliance or risk framework.\nRegarding Phase I self-assessments\, what specific administrative or technical challenges does your organization face in maintaining\, verifying\, and reporting compliance\, and how could this process be fundamentally streamlined? Have your self-assessments led to a more dynamic cyber posture approach\, or are they performed only for compliance purposes?\nWhat specific\, actionable policy changes or regulatory reforms should the CMMC Reform Task Force recommend over the next 60 days to drastically reduce costs and barriers to entry for small\, medium\, and non-traditional businesses without degrading the protection of federal data?\nWhat specific\, actionable policy changes or regulatory reforms should the CMMC Reform Task Force recommend over the next 60 days to drastically improve operational resilience against cyber-attacks at your organization?\n\nThe information gained from the RFI will be used by the DoW’s CMMC Reform Task Force to “definitively reduce compliance and cost burdens on small\, medium\, and non-traditional companies.” \nResponses to the RFI are due August 14\, 2026\, and should be emailed to whs.mc-alex.ad.mbx.eosd-psb-branch-mailbox@mail.mil and leanne.m.condren.civ@mail.mil. \nTo learn more\, click here.

SUMMARY:Cyber Thursday: Determining Your Real CMMC Compliance Responsibilities
DESCRIPTION:Not every Defense contractor handling federal information needs CMMC Level 2—and not every contractor who believes they are exempt actually is. This Cyber Thursday session helps Defense contractors determine their real CMMC compliance responsibilities by walking through the questions that define scope: what type of information flows through a contract (FCI vs. CUI)\, which cybersecurity clauses appear in the solicitation\, where data is stored and processed\, and how flow down requirements from prime contractors can change a contractor’s obligations.\nThis session will cover how to read contracts for cybersecurity requirements\, how to identify CUI when it is not explicitly marked\, the differences between CMMC Levels 1\, 2\, and 3\, and common scoping mistakes that cause contractors to over invest\, under invest\, or miss CMMC requirements entirely. Contractors who are uncertain whether CMMC applies to them\, who have been told it does and want confirmation\, or who are trying to right size their scope before pursuing CMMC will leave with a clearer understanding of their actual obligations. \nSpeaker: Matt Frost\, Government Contract Specialist\, Wisconsin Procurement Institute – WI APEX Accelerator \n\n\n\nThis webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit. \nFor the full schedule of the Cyber Thursday webinars\, please click here.
