# ABC Launches CMMC Contractor Roadmap

Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) launched a free CMMC roadmap for Defense Industrial Base contractors and subcontractors that handle Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information. Its “Getting Started” and “Finish the Job” tracks provide readiness guidance for firms beginning certification and those preparing for customer reviews or formal assessments. For companies pursuing Department of Defense work, the resource offers a practical way to evaluate and strengthen cybersecurity processes; it is guidance, not a separate certification or deadline notice.

- Contractors can use the two tracks to assess which stage of CMMC readiness applies to their organization and prepare for customer reviews or formal assessments.
- Procurement teams and prime contractors can use the roadmap to support discussions with subcontractors that handle FCI or CUI and to identify cybersecurity readiness gaps across their supply chains.
- The resource is free, so firms can consult it as they plan cybersecurity improvements for DoD-related work without a stated enrollment deadline or fee.
