The U.S. loses an estimated $60B annually to cyber-attacks. The government contracting community accounts for much of this loss. As a result, our economic health and national security are threatened.
Are you doing business with the Department of Defense (DoD)? Then it’s time to prepare for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework. The CMMC framework is based primarily on NIST 800-171 and designed to secure our nation’s Defense Industrial Base (DIB). While most companies will be able to self-assess their compliance, many will need a third-party assessment. Therefore, every company that either directly or indirectly does business with the DoD will need to comply with CMMC.
The DoD has announced the details of CMMC 2.0. This revision scaled back the program from the previous version to lower costs and accelerate compliance. While there are important changes, most of the technical requirements remain in place.
CMMC 2.0 reduces the number of levels from five to three. Level 1 remains unchanged and Level 2 aligns to the original Level 3. However, Level 5 remains unchanged at this point, although the DoD is delaying most of the work on that level.

The CMMC 2.0 framework includes three levels of security requirements. If you store, process, or transit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) you’re required to achieve at least Level 2 compliance.
Level 2 compliance aligns to NIST 800-171. As a result, contractors working to meet this standard must deploy the appropriate technologies to support requirements such as multi-factor authorization, device management, security monitoring, and more.
Microsoft 365 GCC High is the version of Microsoft 365 that’s designed specifically for the DIB. Additionally, it’s built on a foundation of security, privacy, and compliance in the Azure Government Cloud. With Microsoft 365 GCC High, contractors can meet the following requirements:
For companies that don’t have data sovereignty requirements, Microsoft 365 GCC may be the right option to support your compliance and security requirements.
