Understanding CMMC
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a cybersecurity framework developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to secure the defense supply chain. The CMMC requires contractors and subcontractors to demonstrate specific levels of cybersecurity maturity based on the sensitivity of information they handle.
CMMC outlines various levels of maturity, each building on previous requirements, from basic safeguarding practices to advanced threat-hunting and incident response capabilities. It’s critical to evaluate vendors’ CMMC compliance to ensure that the organization’s security standards align with federal expectations. Achieving and maintaining CMMC compliance not only secures sensitive government data but also opens new business opportunities within the defense sector for certified organizations.
