Defense Industrial Base (DIB) has become a target of increasingly complex and frequent cyberattacks. To protect the FCI (Federal Contract Information) and CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information), in November 2021, OUSD A&S announced CMMC 2.0.

In addition to controls requiring data sovereignty like NOFORN and ITAR, these controls are only met using Microsoft GCC high.
