CMMC 2.0 is mandatory and failure to obtain the correct certification level can result in the retraction of DoD contracts

Framework Snapshot

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program is a comprehensive security effort launched by the United States Department of Defense (DoD). The objective is to better protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI) within the federal government’s defense industrial base. The Pentagon launched a revised version, CMMC 2.0, in November 2021, streamlining the model from 5 to 3 compliance levels.

The CMMC framework protects sensitive and critical data entrusted to defense contractors by ensuring all engaged parties, including third-party subcontractors, are compliant with the framework’s directives. CMMC is mandatory and failure to obtain the correct certification level can result in the retraction of DoD contracts. Organizations cannot certify themselves; this must be done by a third-party assessment organization (C3PAO) accredited by the CMMC.

The CMMC framework is based on other frameworks and cybersecurity standards, such as those of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), FAR Clause 52.204-21, and DFARS.

    Protecting all crucial CUI and FCI

    Lack of compliance with the CMMC framework can put sensitive and crucial CUI and FCI at risk. Ensuring that a foolproof surveillance and assessment system is in place can help prevent unwarranted unauthorized attacks on the federal database. Our robust solution can help keep track of all and any movements within the organization’s system.

    Prioritizing the country’s safety

    Unauthorized access to the Department of Defense’s federal and industrial data can seriously threaten the country. CMMC determines how mature an organization’s cybersecurity posture is and if it can maintain its security, proactively manage it, and continuously improve it. If your organization complies with the CMMC framework, it will not be competitive in this arena. It is as simple as that, given how high the stakes are for the DoD in selecting its contractors, with the safety and security of the US as its goal.

    CMMC 2.0 reduces assessment costs by allowing all companies at Level 1 and a subset at Level 2 to demonstrate compliance through self-assessments. It increases oversight of professional and ethical standards of third-party assessors to secure higher accountability.

    With flexible Implementation under limited circumstances, companies can make Plans of Action and Milestones to achieve certification.
