The November, 2025 scheduled implementation of CMMC requirements in DoD contracts is discouraging many small contractors from seeking,or even continuing, work for the DoD or DoW. These fears may be overblown, at least for the 103,010 small contractors estimated to be subject to CMMC Level 1 and the dreaded "annual affirmation" of "continuous compliance." As one responder to the CMMC draft put it, "this will make every DIB CISO into a criminal". Not quite true. For less than $500, and a $50/month monitoring cost, small contractors up to 25 staff can confidently and explicitly meet the CMMC Level 1 setup and maintenance requirements.
