The Compliance Challenge

For defense contractors, achieving and maintaining CMMC compliance isn’t optional—it’s the key to winning and keeping Department of War (DoD) contracts. But staying compliant is complex, time-consuming, and expensive if handled in-house:

  • Detailed Requirements and Configurations: Rolle IT MSSP Administrators are experienced and well versed in CMMC compliant configurations.
  • High Costs: Hiring full-time compliance, cybersecurity, and IT operations staff is not always cost effective for small and medium size businesses.
  • Resource Drain: Managing all IT, Compliance and Cybersecurity needs in house diverts attention from your core mission of serving the DoD
  • Audit Stress: Gathering evidence and maintaining documentation consumes valuable time.

The Smart Choice: Outsource to Rolle IT Cybersecurity

Outsourcing to Rolle IT means you get compliance expertise + 24/7 cybersecurity protection without the overhead of building it all yourself.

Benefits of Outsourcing:

✅ Lower Cost, Higher Value

  • Pay only for the services you need—far less than hiring a full cybersecurity, compliance, and IT operations team.

✅ Always Audit-Ready

  • We map technical controls directly to your SSP and CMMC requirements and maintain documentation, so you’re prepared when auditors arrive.

✅ Specialized Expertise

  • Our MSSP services are designed for the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and backed by CMMC, NIST 800-171, and DFARS expertise.

✅ More Than An Internal Team

  • Instead of relying on one or two internal hires, Rolle IT delivers a full team of subject matter experts across compliance, cybersecurity, and IT operations.
  • Our team brings diverse skills—policy, monitoring, threat intelligence, forensics—that a couple of associates simply can’t match.
  • Greater efficiency: Less reliance on outside contractors since we cover more domains in-house.

✅ Better Buying Power

  • As an MSSP, we can procure software licenses, cybersecurity tools, and hardware at negotiated rates—saving you money compared to going it alone.
  • Existing relationships with CMMC compliant Tools and FedRamp High Certified tools allows easier implementation and shorter ramp up times.

✅ 24/7 Monitoring & Protection

  • Our CrowdStrike-powered SOC detects and stops threats in real time—keeping you compliant and secure.

✅ Focus on Your Core Business

  • You deliver for the DoD, while we handle compliance and cybersecurity.

DoD’s 48 CFR Final Rule Reaches OIRA Review & is Cleared

Leave a Comment / Business, CMMC, Compliance, Cybersecurity / / , , , ,

On July 22, 2025, the Department of Defense took a major step toward finalizing its long-anticipated 48 CFR (DFARS) rule implementing the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). The rule was officially submitted to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) for interagency review.

This submission marks the last checkpoint before the rule is published in the Federal Register and becomes binding on contractors. Once cleared by OIRA, DoD can move forward with inserting the updated DFARS requirements into new solicitations and contracts.

What Comes Next

  • OIRA Review: OIRA cleared it on August 25, 2025. 
  • Federal Register Publication: The rule will be published in the Federal Register along with an official effective date. Federal regulations generally become enforceable within 1 to 60 days of publication.
  • Contract Implementation: Contractors can expect DFARS clauses referencing the CMMC requirements to begin appearing in solicitations as early as late 2025.

Why It Matters

This milestone carries real implications for defense contractors. Once the rule takes effect, companies that lack a CMMC-certified environment may find themselves ineligible to win or execute DoD contracts. It won’t be enough to have plans in place—contracting officers will need assurance that sensitive Department of Defense work is performed within a secure, certified environment.

For many small and mid-sized businesses, this could mean the difference between maintaining a foothold in the Defense Industrial Base or being locked out of future opportunities. Companies that have delayed compliance run the risk of being passed over in favor of competitors who are audit-ready.

Final Thought

For defense contractors, this is the clearest signal yet that CMMC compliance is no longer optional or “someday.” With the rule in OIRA’s hands, the countdown to enforcement has begun. Contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) should ensure their NIST 800-171 controls are implemented, documented, and verifiable inside a certified environment.
