What is CMMC Compliance?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a vital program initiated by the Department of Defense (DoD) to protect the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) from increasing cyber threats. CMMC consists of three levels: Foundational, Advanced, and Expert, with the primary focus being to enhance the security of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI) shared within the DIB.
CMMC builds upon existing trust-based regulations (DFARS 252.204-7012) by incorporating a verification component for cybersecurity requirements. It was developed by the DoD’s Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment in collaboration with various stakeholders, research centers, and industry experts.
Who Is Subject To CMMC Compliance?
All DoD prime- and sub-contractors bidding on contracts with the CMMC DFARS clause must obtain CMMC compliance before contract award. The required certification level (Foundational-LEVEL 1, Advanced-LEVEL 2, Expert-LEVEL 3) is specified in the DoD contract. Additionally, DIB members, including small businesses, are encouraged to understand CMMC’s technical requirements for long-term cybersecurity readiness.
CMMC’s design ensures that even small businesses can implement cost-effective controls at lower certification levels, fostering a more secure DIB ecosystem. Get Started on CMMC Compliance Now!
