#CMMC 2.0 is here! For more information check out the Department of Defense's page at: https://lnkd.in/gg2_vvkA
It's Official! #CMMC 2.0 completed its 60-day Congressional Review period without any changes. Rulemaking is now complete and the new program is in effect. Companies should now begin working towards their CMMC certifications and C3PAOs can begin assessments in accordance with the guidance in the rule. Just a reminder, CMMC requirements will not be included in DoD contracts until the DFARS is revised through a 48 CFR rule change is complete and effective. At that time we will begin a 3-year phased implementation. For more information check out our CMMC page at: https://lnkd.in/gg2_vvkA #DIB #Cybersecurity #DIBCS

This week some of our Florida APEX Accelerator staff attended the #NATOEdge 24 Conference in Tampa. We had the opportunity to catch up with colleagues and partners, and make new international friends. A key takeaway from the event was learning how innovators in the private sector, not-for-profit and academia can work with NATO to help prepare for future challenges. We look forward to educating our network about the procurement needs of NATO and how Florida small businesses can include NATO in their business development efforts.
