WASHINGTON, March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Crowell & Moring has become the first
AmLaw 100 firm to achieve Registered Provider Organization (RPO) status by the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Accreditation Body (CMMC-AB). The CMMC-AB has recognized Crowell & Moring as a law firm provider to help defense contractors comply with CMMC cybersecurity standards and prepare for their assessments, which will become mandatory for all Defense Department contractors within the next five years, with few exceptions.
The DoD will begin incorporating CMMC requirements into an increasing number of solicitations later this year, creating a unified standard for implementing cybersecurity across the defense industrial base. Previously, defense contractors were responsible for certifying the security of their own information technology systems. Now, the CMMC will require all defense contractors to obtain third-party certified assessments, creating a new verification component to ensure that contractors meet cybersecurity requirements and adequately protect sensitive information on their networks.
