Does the new FAR proposed rule apply to civilian contractors?

Yes. The FAR Council's proposed rule under FAR Part 40 establishes a government-wide framework extending NIST SP 800-171 and CUI safeguarding requirements to all federal contractors, not just defense suppliers.

How many CMMC requirements does CPE Level 2 cover?

CPE Level 2 provides 100% coverage of all 110 CMMC 2.0 Level 2 requirements and 320 objectives, delivering a complete turnkey compliance solution.

What is the pricing for CPE Level 2?

CPE Level 2 is priced at $1,299/month for up to 20 users. Choosing an 8-week deployment instead of 4 weeks reduces pricing by $100/month.

The FAR Council’s Proposed CUI Rule Expands NIST SP 800-171 to Every Federal Contractor , Why CPE Level 2 Is Your Universal Compliance Solution

On June 23, 2026, the FAR Council published a landmark proposed rule (FAR Part 40) that fundamentally changes the compliance landscape for every single organization doing business with the federal government. For years, strict Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) mandates and cybersecurity frameworks were primarily the domain of Department of Defense (DoD) contractors. Today, the game has changed entirely. The federal government is establishing a unified, government-wide framework that expands NIST SP 800-171 mandates to every civilian and defense federal contractor alike.

If your organization handles federal data, bids on government contracts, or touches CUI, you are facing an unprecedented regulatory shift. There is simply no room for guesswork, delayed remediation, or half-measures. You need absolute certainty, ironclad security posture, and a turnkey compliance solution engineered to conquer these mandates instantly. That solution is CPE Level 2.

Understanding the Seismic Shift: What the FAR Council Proposed Rule Means for You

The proposed rule under FAR Part 40 (“Information Security and Supply Chain Security”) consolidates and standardizes CUI protection across all federal agencies. No longer shielded by agency-specific loopholes or delayed timelines, contractors across civilian and defense sectors must immediately prepare for rigorous new standards:

Adoption of NIST SP 800-171 Revision 3: The rule establishes Rev. 3 as the mandatory baseline security standard for non-federal information systems processing, storing, or transmitting CUI.
Rigorous 72-Hour CUI Incident Reporting: Contractors must detect, isolate, and report cyber incidents involving CUI to the federal government within 72 hours of discovery.
Standardized CUI Identification (SF XXX): Agencies will now issue standardized solicitation provisions and contract clauses (including FAR 52.240-6 and 52.240-7) backed by a dedicated Standard Form to precisely define safeguarding obligations.
Proposal-Time Non-Compliance Disclosures: Organizations failing to meet full compliance at the time of proposal submission must formally disclose their gaps and provide explicit remediation plans.

This is not a future-tense warning, it is an immediate call to action. Failing to adapt means immediate disqualification from lucrative federal awards and severe legal exposure under the False Claims Act.

Why Traditional Compliance and Generic AI Tools Fall Short

When faced with hundreds of complex security controls, many organizations make the fatal mistake of relying on cobbled-together internal IT fixes, generic cloud storage, or consumer-grade AI tools to draft policies and analyze data.

Generic AI tools cannot be trusted with client data. Feeding sensitive system architecture, CUI workflows, or remediation data into public AI models compromises your intellectual property and violates federal privacy standards. At Planet Security, we utilize advanced, proprietary Yoo-Jin AI with AI-obfuscated data to power our compliance workflows. This ensures absolute data sovereignty, military-grade privacy, and unmatched analytical speed without ever exposing your proprietary information to public Large Language Models.

Furthermore, traditional consulting firms take months or years, racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in billable hours while leaving your team drowning in Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) tracking. You need an execution-driven approach that delivers results immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does the new FAR proposed rule apply to my company if we only work with civilian federal agencies and not the Department of Defense?

A: Yes. That is the exact purpose of the FAR Council's June 2026 proposed rule (FAR Part 40). It expands CUI handling and NIST SP 800-171 requirements across the entire federal civilian procurement ecosystem, removing the historical restriction that limited these mandates primarily to DoD contractors.

Q: How does CPE Level 2 handle the 110 CMMC requirements and 320 objectives?

A: CPE Level 2 provides 100% coverage of all 110 CMMC 2.0 Level 2 requirements and 320 objectives. We supply the pre-configured infrastructure, rigorous technical controls, documentation, policies, and continuous monitoring required to achieve and maintain audit readiness without burdening your internal engineering staff.

Q: Why is Yoo-Jin AI safer than using standard commercial AI assistants for compliance?

A: Generic AI tools ingest user inputs to train public models, creating massive data leakage risks for federal contractors handling CUI. Planet Security's Yoo-Jin AI operates exclusively with AI-obfuscated data, ensuring your sensitive infrastructure details and compliance documents remain completely secure, private, and shielded from external exposure.
