The day has arrived. On September 10, 2025, the CMMC Acquisition Final Rule (48 CFR) was officially released, transforming the CMMC framework from a future initiative into a non-negotiable requirement. With the rule taking effect on November 10, the countdown is on for every prime and subcontractor in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
But what does this really mean for your ability to win and maintain DoD contracts?
Join our “Ask the Experts” webinar for a definitive breakdown of the new rule’s impact. KLC Consulting’s President and Lead CMMC Certified Assessor, Kyle Lai, will cut through the noise to provide the answers you need on the most critical questions facing your business:
