If your organization has been preparing for CMMC certification, the news that the Department of Defense has issued CMMC 2.0 and cast aside the CMMC 1.0 model (and timelines) may have been greeted with a mix of dismay and relief. The dismay is due to all the effort already put into meeting CMMC requirements. The feeling of relief may be along the lines of “Thank goodness we don’t have that to worry about any longer.” I have separate responses to each of these sentiments.
