Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification requirements are landing on Energy, Power & Commodities firms through overlapping federal mandates: the U.S. Department of Defense's CMMC 2.0 final rule, effective December 2024, is pulling in energy suppliers that touch defense contracts, while the U.S. Department of Energy and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission maintain parallel cyber incident and supply chain security obligations that do not align neatly with CMMC's control domains. Compliance teams are currently reconciling CMMC Level 2 self-assessment timelines against FERC's Critical Infrastructure Protection reliability standards to avoid duplicative audit cycles.
Watch
- CMMC 2.0 phased contract clause rollout: which energy contractor tiers are in scope now
- FERC CIP-013-2 supply chain risk management: pending enforcement guidance from NERC
- DOE's Cyber-Informed Engineering framework and whether it triggers CMMC control overlaps
- Third-party assessment organization (C3PAO) capacity constraints ahead of Level 2 deadlines
