About CMMC Rule
Our Approach
CMMC stands for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. It's a framework developed by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure that companies in the defense industrial base (DIB) sector maintain adequate cybersecurity practices to protect sensitive information.
The CMMC framework consists of a set of cybersecurity standards and best practices, ranging from basic cyber hygiene to more advanced security measures. These standards are organized into five maturity levels, with each level building upon the requirements of the previous one. The levels are designed to measure an organization's cybersecurity maturity and readiness to handle different levels of sensitive information.
Under CMMC, companies must undergo third-party assessments to obtain certification at the appropriate maturity level based on their specific cybersecurity practices and the sensitivity of the information they handle. This certification is required for any company seeking to bid on DoD contracts, and it helps ensure that the defense industrial base maintains a strong cybersecurity posture to protect critical national security information.
