What Is CMMC ?

United States Department of Defense (DoD) introduced Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) in order to measure the cybersecurity readiness of their contractors. The program unifies standards for the implementation of cybersecurity across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and measures the capabilities, readiness, and sophistication of defense contractors in the area of cybersecurity.

Introduction: – The CMMC (Cyber security Maturity Model Certification) system of compliance level assists the government, notably the department of defence, in determining if a business has the security required to operate with regulated or otherwise  susceptible data. Every firm needs robust IT assistance in today’s fast-paced digital world. Finding that kind of support, however, can be challenging for small and medium sized firms. Smaller IT firms are frequently overburdened with too many clients, insufficient specialised expertise-whereas larger IT firms prioritise their larger clients and may not even return your calls.

Why CMMC?

The CMMC brings multiple discrete compliance processes (NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, ISO 27001, ISO 27032, and AIA NAS9933) into one unified framework. DOD has plan to migrate to CMMC for identifying the cybersecurity readiness of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).

The main objective of CMMC is to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). If you are a defense contractor/ subcontractor, you have to make sure to implement the cybersecurity processes as per the CMMC level appropriate for your business establishment.

CMMC compliance is going to be mandatory for everyone within the DoD supply chain. If you are a part of it, and you want to be a part of it in the future, you have to achieve and maintain the level of security required for the appropriate CMMC level.

How Do We Help You?

Contractors in the defense sector have been receiving notices from their customers esp. the Prime contractors that the former need to submit a current DoD Assessment score in the DoD Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). Unless the contractors provide this score in the SPRS, they would not be eligible to receive any future contracts.

In addition, those contractors need to come up with an action plan to achieve CMMC Level 1 to begin with and Level 3 subsequently.
