Prepare for your Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification CMMC audit

What is CMMC?

Starting January 2021, DoD’s Cyber Security Maturity Model (CMMC) assessment program will begin. The CMMC certification ensures companies comply with DoD’s new cybersecurity protection standards.

The CMMC certification represents a company’s demonstration of cybersecurity compliance and fitness capabilities and it’s organizational maturity as defined for a specific level of the CMMC model.

Upon successful demonstration of the appropriate capabilities and organizational maturity, the organization will receive the corresponding CMMC level certification.

Benefits of CMMC Certification

The benefit of a more formal framework that includes certification from DoD-approved organizations is that it promotes and ensures overall cybersecurity practices throughout the DoD community and helps protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) that exists in DoD partner networks.

The benefit to you is that CMMC certification will empower your organization to continue to compete for US DoD contracts; the earlier you are certified the sooner you can remain c ompetitive.

Currently, the DoD is building a network of organizations that will provide certification services. Your company will need to work directly with one of these accredited and independent third party commercial certification organizations to request and schedule your CMMC assessment.
