Industry experts continue to raise serious concerns about the way forward for the Defense Department’s cybersecurity maturity model certification (CMMC) program.
A technology industry representative told reporters yesterday that the interim rule DoD published in September didn’t offer enough clarity about the certification process, the costs to become certified and whether there will be reciprocity with other cyber standards. Comments on the interim rule are due Nov. 30 and so far more than two dozen people or organizations have submitted analysis.
The official said they are raising these concerns now because DoD is acting with some urgency to get the program rolled out with the release of the interim rule despite repeated attempts by industry and others to raise these problems.
