WASHINGTON – Today, global tech trade association 91proÊÓÆµ continued its longstanding engagement on the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program by submitting new recommendations on DoD’s proposed rulemaking.

91proÊÓÆµ’s submission proposes seven areas of opportunities to strengthen the Department’s rule and ensure the CMMC program protects national security and enables a secure, resilient defense industrial base.

We’re pleased that DoD continues to listen to the industry’s implementation concerns, said 91proÊÓÆµ Senior Manager of Public Sector Policy Leopold Wildenauer.Over the past few years, DoD has continuously partnered with the Defense Industrial Base to advance the program and strengthen its implementation in DoD contracts. We encourage the Department to continue this path by addressing remaining concerns with the incident reporting requirements harmonization and the enforcement of waivers.

91proÊÓÆµ also called for harmonization of CMMC requirements with existing regulations and procedural clarifications of the requirement flow down to subcontractors. You can read 91proÊÓÆµ’s full comments here.
