New U.S. cybersecurity rules for the defense sector are causing some small suppliers to reconsider their involvement due to high compliance costs. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requires companies to perform self-assessments and undergo audits, which are challenging for many small firms. The costs, potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars, are deterring suppliers, particularly those with fragile finances. This situation raises concerns about the health of the defense supply chain, as many small businesses are critical to larger contractors. The CMMC requirements may inadvertently reduce competition among lower-tier suppliers.
