The Department of Defense created the Cybersecurity Maturation Model Certification (CMMC) as a cybersecurity standard for the Defense Industry Base (DIB). As a nation we must protect the supply chain of 300,000 companies globally. CMMC is required for all DoD contractors dealing with CUI per the Interim Rule.
CMMC assessments occur across five levels of maturity, with level 1 requiring the most basic cybersecurity and level 5 requiring the most advanced with 171 embedded practices and processes.
