The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) introduces new standards of accountability and security in the U.S. defense industry. The goal of CMMC is to protect controlled unclassified information (CUI) from improper access and help safeguard data across the supply chain.
While there are myriad security solutions in place and pre-existing standards like DFARS and NIST, CMMC adds accountability by requiring third-party assessments and eliminating indefinite POAMs that leave security gaps open.
CMMC 2.0 is scheduled to go into effect October 2025. Non-compliance will prevent companies from bidding on Department of Defense (DoD) contracts, resulting in bottom-line impacts to the 200,000+ companies in the DIB. Schedule an appointment to learn more about CMMC and better understand what is required of your company.
