I

Misconception #1: The government is focused on large-scale contractors.

The prime contractor awarded the contract bears the responsibility of ensuring that all subcontractors, vendors, and partners within its multi-tiered supply chain comprehend and fulfill the diverse requirements outlined in DFARS 7012. This entails incorporating pertinent DFARS compliant clauses into all subcontracts. Crucially, any entity within the subcontractor supply chain that stores, handles, or transmits Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must adhere fully to NIST SP 800-171 guidelines.

Misconception #2: I still have plenty of time to deal with this.

The completion of CMMC rulemaking will occur sooner than the typical contractor's implementation of NIST 800-171. You can expect the process of becoming fully compliant to last anywhere between 3 and 4 quarters.

Misconception #3: I don’t store or process CUI. I don’t need to be compliant.

Even if you aren't storing, processing, or generating CUI, if the box is checked on your DD254, it is applicable to you.

Misconception #4: I currently do not have any contracts that require CUI and do not need to do this until I win one.

If you win a contract that handles CUI, the process to become compliant can take anywhere from 9-12 months. By being proactive, you're setting yourself up to have the competitive advantage to win contracts because you are fully compliant.
