Article highlights:
With a new administration installed at the Pentagon, the department recently announced that it had initiated an “internal assessment” of the CMMC program.
Katie Arrington, chief information security officer in the office of the undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, recently likened the assessment to a standard acquisition category, or ACAT, 1 review of major defense acquisition programs.
