The Department of Defense is making one of the most significant changes to cybersecurity compliance in over a decade: a move from the Risk Management Framework (RMF) to the Cybersecurity Risk Management Construct (CSRMC).For defense contractors, integrators, and managed service providers, this shift will redefine how compliance is achieved and measured. The message is clear: point in time checklists are out, continuous and automated compliance is in.What is CSRMC?CSRMC is the DoD’s new model for managing cyber risk. It takes the foundation of RMF and re-aligns it to modern operational needs, emphasizing:Automation instead of manual checklistsCyber Survivability to ensure systems remain functional in contested environmentsContinuous Monitoring for real time visibilityDevSecOps integration for secure development and deploymentReciprocity and Inheritance to reduce duplication of effort across systemsThe goal is to move away from static compliance paperwork and toward a living cybersecurity posture that evolves with threats.Why It Matters to ContractorsFor small and mid-sized businesses in the Defense Industrial Base, CSRMC may sound intimidating. New requirements often bring new tools, higher costs, and more time away from core operations.The good news is that if you are preparing for CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification), you are already building toward CSRMC readiness. Many of the same principles, including critical controls, ongoing monitoring, training, and evidence management, are shared across both models.The real question is: are you aligned now, or will you scramble to catch up later?CyberComply: CSRMC Ready TodayCyberComply was designed to solve this exact challenge. Built by Armada Cyber Defense, it is a CMMC compliance platform built on GRC principles, and it already aligns with most of CSRMC’s tenets.Here is how:Automation. CyberComply automates gap assessments, SSPs, POA&Ms, and evidence collection. Continuous Monitoring. Dashboards and reminders keep compliance active, not static. Critical Controls. Focused on the core NIST 800-171 subset that matters most for CMMC Levels 1 and 2. Operationalization. Compliance is tied to workflows, tasks, and real time collaboration. Cyber Survivability (Add On). AWS Backup integration provides proof of last backup success and restore test evidence. Training (Add On). Lightweight training evidence tracking keeps you aligned without expensive LMS.What You Should Do NowUnderstand Thank you for visiting our podcasts on CMMC Cybersecurity!
