   On Sept. 29, 2020, the Department of Defense (DoD) issued an interim   
   rule, Assessing Contractor Implementation of Cybersecurity Requirements   
   (DFARS Case 2019-D041), that implements its "Cybersecurity Maturity   
   Model Certification" (CMMC) program.1 While this implementing regulation   
   has been long-awaited, it also contains an unexpected new cybersecurity   
   assessment requirement that will be effective this coming   
   Nov. 30. During the CMMC roll-out period, contractors not subject to the   
   new CMMC requirement nonetheless will be required to self-assess (or   
   have DoD assess) their current cybersecurity compliance and report that   
   status to a DoD website prior to any new DoD contract award or DoD's   
   exercise of any contract option or extension of contract performance.
