As Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements take hold, government agencies and contractors are confronting a fundamental shift in how software risk is defined and enforced. What was once treated as a contained compliance exercise is now a supply chain-wide challenge, driven by the reality that Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) moves fluidly across systems, vendors and development environments.
Unmanaged vendor risk, weak intake controls and static compliance models are creating critical gaps in CMMC readiness, pushing agencies to rethink how they secure and validate their software supply chains.
