A task force of DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency plans to release supply chain guidance that incorporates aspects of DOD’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program. Robert Kolasky, director of CISA’s National Risk Management Center, says they are collaborating with the CMMC program, “to make sure that we suck in the way that questions are being asked of the defense industrial base and translate that into other markets in a similar way.” Unlike CMMC, CISA’s “supply chain essentials” guidance will be voluntary for federal agencies and private sector entities within the 16 critical infrastructure sectors that CISA is tasked to oversee.
