CMMC Compliance


What is CMMC Compliance?
CMMC compliance refers to adhering to the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), a cybersecurity framework developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure that contractors and subcontractors protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI).
Key Aspects of CMMC Compliance:
Multi-Level Framework: CMMC 2.0 includes three maturity levels:
Level 1: Foundational – Basic cyber hygiene for protecting FCI.
Level 2: Advanced – Aligned with NIST SP 800-171 for protecting CUI.
Level 3: Expert – Focused on reducing risk from advanced threats, aligned with NIST SP 800-172.
Certification Requirement: Organizations must be assessed and certified at the appropriate level to bid on or fulfill certain DoD contracts.
Focus on Implementation: CMMC emphasizes both the presence and effectiveness of cybersecurity practices and controls.
Based on Existing Standards: Incorporates established frameworks like NIST, FIPS, and DFARS requirements.
Being CMMC compliant demonstrates that your organization has the necessary cybersecurity measures in place to handle sensitive government data securely and responsibly.
