Where does CUI enter your company?
It comes through the contract: email with drawings and specs, your prime's portal, file shares, cloud storage, and files you create from it.
Every system that stores, processes or transmits CUI is in scope. Map it first.

CMMC Phase 2 is paused. Your obligations aren't. If CUI comes through your contract, DFARS 7012 still requires the 110 NIST 800-171 controls. Phase 1 self-assessments are in contracts and your SPRS score still matters. Free SPRS worksheet: https://cyberneza.com/sprs-score-worksheet #CMMC

4 options on the table for CMMC. FNN: DoD's review lists them: restart Phase 2 with fewer contractors, move to NIST 800-171 Rev 3, fix CUI marking, more POA&M time. None is final. If CUI comes through your contract, DFARS 7012 still applies. https://cyberneza.com/cmmc #CMMC
