Lockheed Martin wants their suppliers to know two things. First, suppliers should be fully and confidently compliant with existing DFARS cybersecurity requirements. Second, suppliers should be fully transitioned to the “Cybersecurity Compliance and Risk Assessment” tool. All of this before CMMC ever shows up in contracts. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone because this is the 6th CMMC memo from Lockheed in the last 18 months. This week we take a look at each one to see where things are headed (hint: they all say the same thing).
