Compliance with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is more than just a regulatory obligation for defense contractors—it is an absolute business imperative critical to maintaining their role in the Department of Defense (DoD) supply chain.
Instituted by the Department of Defense, CMMC not only elevates cybersecurity within boardroom discussions but also requires senior officials to annually affirm the accuracy of their cybersecurity practices. This affirmation process, if inaccuracies are discovered, could lead to severe consequences under the False Claims Act (FCA).
The CMMC framework is pivotal in safeguarding sensitive government data within the defense supply chain, mandating stringent cybersecurity practices for handling information such as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI). However, the true test of compliance lies in the annual affirmation requirement—a legal commitment by corporate leaders affirming their organization’s adherence to these standards, thereby directly linking these affirmations to potential liabilities under the FCA.
Under the False Claims Act, the stakes are incredibly high. This act targets individuals or entities that submit claims to the government under false pretenses, including those made with reckless disregard for the truth. Even unintentional errors in CMMC affirmations could be seen as false claims, potentially leading to significant repercussions if these errors result in undue government payments.
In today’s high-stakes environment, developing and maintaining a robust compliance validation process is essential. Right Hand Technology Group helps our clients build and execute these processes to ensure once you become CMMC compliant, you stay CMMC compliant. We do that through:
