Here's a few scenarios we see more often than you'd think:

A administrative assistant has access to the managing partner's billing data because no one ever restricted it. A contractor who finished a project two years ago still has a login to your systems. An employee who left six months ago? Their email account is still active.

None of these feel like crises. Until they are.

CMMC Level 2 readiness is only part of the challenge. Audit availability may be the bigger one.

With 80,000+ organizations expected to need Level 2 certification and a limited number of accredited C3PAOs available, delays are becoming a real contract risk for DoD contractors and subcontractors handling CUI.

Key takeaway:

🔘 6 to 12 months to get ready
🔘 Months more to secure an assessment
🔘 Waiting could put renewals and awards at risk

Best next steps:

1️⃣ Verify your required level
2️⃣ Start a NIST SP 800-171 gap assessment
3️⃣ Begin remediation and documentation now
4️⃣ Get on a C3PAO calendar early

If you handle CUI, now is the time to move.
