Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)

For those working in the defense industry, monitoring the security of information technology systems is both critical for security and a regulatory requirement. To reduce the risks associated with cyber threats created by evolving technology, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) regulations now require third-party assessments of contractor compliance with mandatory procedures.

What is CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification)?

The Department of Defense is now taking a supply-chain risk-management approach to improving cybersecurity. That means that all 300,000 DoD contractors and researchers will need to obtain third-party certification to meet requirements for the CMMC maturity level appropriate to the work they wish to do for the DoD.

CMMC Model 2.0 is based on 3 compliance levels and most suppliers will be required to meet CMMC Level 2 Requirements.

Maturity Levels

1

Foundational

17 Practices
17 Practices aligned with NIST SP 800-171
*Annual self-assessment
2

Advanced

110 Practices
110 Practices aligned with NIST SP 800-171

*Triannual 3rd party assessments for critical national security information: Select programs may only require an annual self-assessment

3

Expert

110+ Practices
110+ Practices aligned with NIST SP 800-172
*Triannual government-led assessments
