CMMC: Final Rule vs Class Deviation

Register for the upcoming webinar: https://www.summit7.us/webinars/cmmc-phase-1-the-final-rule-is-here It's official: CMMC Phase 1 begins on November 10th, 2025 when the 48 CFR CMMC final rule goes into effect. After that point all new Department of Defense/War contracts will contain some level of CMMC requirement. But just when things seem certain, people are wondering about the recent class deviation regarding DFARS clause 252.204-7021. Is the use of the CMMC clause actually suspended? Spoiler: no, not even close.
