Start working on that beach body of evidence because all signs point to CMMC showing up in defense contracts in Summer 2025. Turns out that our Summer estimate is more conservative than government estimates. However, if you're a subcontractor then it doesn't matter much because the big primes are already telling people what time it is.

Or, as is usually the case, has the ecosystem jumped to conclusions and let their confirmation bias get the better of them? This week we go deep into the Congressional Review Act and why there's much more to the story of Representative Palmer's resolution.

The 32 CFR CMMC final rule is finally final! It's also 470 pages long. What gives? Public comment responses. Literally just 230 pages of responses to public comments. While some of the responses are helpful, much of the time DoD was forced to take the time and space to explain why comments weren't relevant to the CMMC program at all.
