CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification)
A DoD framework requiring defense contractors to meet specific cybersecurity standards before being awarded federal contracts.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a unified standard for implementing cybersecurity across the defense industrial base (DIB). Developed by the U.S. Department of Defense, CMMC 2.0 consists of three levels of cybersecurity maturity, ranging from foundational cyber hygiene to advanced practices. Organizations seeking DoD contracts must achieve the appropriate CMMC level to be eligible for contract awards. The framework aligns with NIST SP 800-171 and incorporates practices from other standards such as NIST SP 800-172. CyberUp24 helps organizations navigate CMMC compliance through architecture design, gap assessments, and remediation planning.
