CMMC stands for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification and is quickly gaining popularity in the IT and security communities. The government, especially the Department of Defense, uses the CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) system of compliance levels to assess if a company has the security required to deal with regulated or otherwise susceptible data. Companies who want to cooperate with the DoD must be rated by CMMC and adhere to CMMC rules. Creating a CMMC framework, adhering to it, and employing CMMC best practices are typically how this is accomplished.

Let’s examine CMMC compliance in more detail, including who requires it and where your organization might fit.

What is CMMC?

The CMMC has been around for a while but was just upgraded. A corporation must reference the current CMMC framework and papers to ascertain where it falls. This may be a lengthy process; therefore, many organizations want the assistance of a knowledgeable partner to determine where they stand on the CMMC level system and whether there are any gaps or opportunities for growth.

The CMMC’s primary goal is to assess the maturity of an organization’s present cybersecurity initiatives. This involves whether the company?can?improve and optimize its security while simultaneously maintaining it.

For businesses in the DIB, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program raises the bar for cyber security. It is intended to safeguard unclassified information?that the DoD shares with its contractors and subcontractors. The initiative gives the DoD more certainty that contractors and subcontractors are adhering to a set of cybersecurity criteria and integrates them into procurement programs.
