Tech Therapy: Let's Talk CUI and CMMC for US Manufacturers

by Jon Lober | NOC Technology

Is your business poised to win federal contracts? 

Cybersecurity compliance for handling CUI is evolving in 2025.

If you’re a manufacturer working with the federal government or subcontracting for larger prime contractors, you’ve likely heard of CMMC—the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. 

CMMC has been around for a few years, but 2025 brings its full enforcement. Every contractor, including manufacturers, will need to meet specific certification levels depending on the sensitivity of the information they handle.


At the end of the day, CMMC isn’t just about meeting regulations or keeping contracts— it’s about protecting American-owned businesses, intellectual property, and national security. 

By investing in cybersecurity, you’re safeguarding your company’s future and contributing to a stronger, more secure America.


In this episode of Tech Therapy, Jon covers both what is CUI and what is CMMC, and what does it matter to US manufacturers.
