CMMC, which stands for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, was announced on September 4, 2019 to help clarify the level of security required for a range of engagements with multiple maturity levels ranging from basic to advanced. This certification will affect everyone that does any work with the DoD.
Every year, the US loses over $60 billion worth of intellectual property and trade secrets to our adversaries. A major source of this loss is cybertheft of our Defense Industrial Base (DIB). CMMC transitions the DIB from the current, self-attestation model for cyber compliance to a third-party audit-based accreditation.
The CMMC framework aims to resolve this loss with 5 levels of security requirements. Each level is a mix of practices and processes that measure both technical activities as well as the maturity of a company’s policies and governance.
Preparing for your CMMC audit requires a review of your cybersecurity posture and determining the level of investment required to become compliant. We can help you understand how CMMC works as well as what solutions you need to meet your targeted level of compliance.
