CMMC stands for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. The purpose of this compliance process is to train, certify and verify that Defense Industrial Base (DIB) sector and Department of Defense (DoD) supply chain contractors have cybersecurity processes and practices in place to protect both Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) that is stored in their information systems for job completion.

Prime and subcontractors must both achieve CMMC compliance before operating in the DIB sector and the DoD supply chain. This prevents the loss of intellectual property that could negatively impact U.S. technical innovations and advantages. It also safeguards national security data and interests.

The CMMC consists of five levels. Your required level of compliance is determined by the type of CUI you need access to for contract fulfillment. Typically, the DoD will state the mandatory CMMC level in their Requests for Information (RFIs) and Requests for Proposals (RFPs).

The CMMC model framework is made up of maturity processes, other frameworks, and cybersecurity best practices from a variety of cybersecurity standards including National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and recommendations from DIB and DoD stakeholders.

To aid contractors in understanding where they stand and how to achieve cybersecurity maturity, this model serves as a benchmark against which they can measure their degree of compliance, identify areas of improvements and set goals. The model consists of the following components: processes, practices, domains and levels.
