Why DFARS 7012 and CMMC Compliance Matter for Your Business
                     Why DFARS 7012 
and CMMC 
Compliance Matter 
for Your Business
In today’s digital landscape, securing sensitive 
government data is not optional—it’s a 
mandate. For contractors working with the 
Department of Defense (DoD), complying with 
DFARS 7012 and achieving CMMC compliance 
is critical. At Nexeris, we provide end-to-end 
cyber security services to help defense 
contractors meet these stringent 
requirements efficiently and effectively.
Understanding DFARS 7012 and 
CMMC Compliance
DFARS 7012 (Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Supplement) requires contractors to 
implement cyber security measures outlined in 
NIST SP 800-171 to protect Controlled Unclassified 
Information (CUI). More importantly, it mandates 
that companies report cyber incidents promptly 
and use secure cloud service providers.
To strengthen the defense supply chain, the DoD 
introduced the Cyber security Maturity Model 
Certification (CMMC), which builds upon the 
foundation of DFARS 7012. With CMMC, 
companies must undergo independent audits to 
verify compliance. Depending on the nature of 
the contract, contractors need to demonstrate 
varying levels of cyber security maturity—from 
foundational to advance.
