Faqs
What are the consequences of not meeting cybersecurity compliance requirements (specifically CMMC)?
- Loss of contract opportunities: If your business fails to meet CMMC requirements, it may not be eligible to bid on DoD contracts that require a specific CMMC level.
- Legal and financial penalties: Failure to meet CMMC requirements can result in legal action and fines, which can be costly for businesses. Additionally, a cybersecurity breach resulting from non-compliance can also lead to financial losses due to data breaches, business disruption, and reputational damage.
- Termination of existing contracts: If a company fails to meet CMMC requirements, the DoD may terminate any existing contracts.
- Reputational damage: Failure to meet CMMC requirements can result in reputational damage, which can impact a business’s ability to win new contracts and retain existing clients.
- Inability to compete: In the long run, failing to meet CMMC requirements can severely limit a business’s ability to compete in the federal marketplace, as more and more government contracts require CMMC certification.
