On November 17, 2021, DoD formally announced the launching of the CMMC 2.0 framework. This coincided with the publication of a GAO Report that was critical of DoD’s rollout of CMMC 1.0. For instance, GAO criticized DoD for failing to communicate effectively with stakeholders and noted that the 5-year pilot program launched in November 2020 had already fallen far behind schedule. Perhaps mindful of this criticism, in the past few months, DoD has published several documents about version 2 and has discussed the changes at a number of public engagements.
