In this episode of the Quality Hub, Chatting with ISO Experts, Xavier Francis and CMMC consultant Ty Elliott discuss the current state of CMMC following the November 10, 2025 implementation of the final rule integrating CMMC 2.0 into federal contracting requirements. They explain what’s required now—Level 2 self-assessments for companies handling CUI—and what’s coming next, including mandatory third-party certification beginning November 10, 2026. The episode emphasizes that compliance is no longer optional, self-attestations carry legal risk, and organizations must begin preparing immediately to remain eligible for defense contracts. Helpful Resources:What is CMMC?:  https://www.thecoresolution.com/nist-cmmc-3CMMC Webinars: https://www.thecoresolution.com/cybersecurity-webinarsThe Core Vault Solution: https://www.thecoresolution.com/core-vaultContact us at 866.354.0300 or email us at [email protected]A Plethora of Articles: https://www.thecoresolution.com/free-learning-resources
