The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 has been officially replaced by CMMC 2.0.20 as of December 31, 2025. This updated version of the CMMC framework incorporates significant changes that aim to enhance its effectiveness and alignment with evolving cybersecurity threats. Organizations seeking to do business with the Department of Defense (DoD) must now transition to CMMC 2.0.20 to maintain compliance and secure their sensitive data and systems.
The transition to CMMC 2.0.20 is crucial for defense contractors and other organizations that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) on behalf of the DoD. This revised framework introduces stricter cybersecurity requirements and a more rigorous certification process. By adhering to the enhanced standards of CMMC 2.0.20, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to safeguarding sensitive information and mitigate cyber risks more effectively. The certification process involves a comprehensive assessment of an organization’s cybersecurity posture against the CMMC 2.0.20 requirements, conducted by an accredited third-party assessor.
In addition to the updated requirements and certification process, CMMC 2.0.20 also introduces a new tiered approach that tailors the cybersecurity controls based on the sensitivity of the information being handled. This allows organizations to focus their efforts and resources on protecting the most critical assets and data. The tiered approach consists of three levels: Level 1 for organizations handling Federal Contract Information (FCI), Level 2 for organizations handling CUI, and Level 3 for organizations handling Controlled Technical Information (CTI). By adopting the appropriate level of certification, organizations can optimize their cybersecurity posture while meeting the specific requirements of their contracts with the DoD.
CCP 2025.520: A Practitioner’s Perspective
The California Code of Civil Procedure (CCP) 2025.520 outlines the procedures for serving summons and other legal documents in unlawful detainer proceedings. This statute provides guidance to practitioners involved in such cases, ensuring that proper notice is given to the defendant and their rights are protected.
CCP 2025.520 requires that the summons and complaint be personally served on the defendant. If personal service cannot be made, the statute allows for alternative methods such as substituted service or service by publication. It is important to carefully follow the specific requirements outlined in the statute to ensure that service is deemed valid.
