CMMC

CMMC

The DoD Certification Framework

CMMC establishes cybersecurity standards required for companies seeking Department of Defense contracts. Organizations must achieve certification through authorized Third Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs), with three progressive maturity levels: 

+

Level 1 — Foundational

Establishes basic cyber hygiene practices to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI). Organizations must demonstrate implementation of access controls, basic system security, and data protection. This level covers 17 security practices essential for safeguarding sensitive contract data.
+

Level 2 — Advanced

Builds upon Level 1 to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Incorporates all NIST SP 800-171 security requirements plus additional practices for enhanced security. Organizations must show process maturity and documentation of their security procedures across 110 practices.
+

Level 3 — Expert

Implements sophisticated security practices to protect CUI against Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). Organizations must demonstrate a standardized, optimized approach to cybersecurity across their operations. This level includes all Level 2 practices plus additional expert-level controls, totaling 130 practices.

Make Defense Contract Security Your Competitive Edge

The U.S. Department of Defense is tightening cybersecurity requirements across its entire supply chain, making CMMC certification essential for doing business in the defense sector. For MSPs, this represents a strategic opportunity to deliver specialized compliance services while helping clients protect sensitive information and win contracts.

Expand Contract Opportunities

Defense contractors must achieve appropriate CMMC levels to bid on DoD contracts. Organizations that proactively manage their certification open doors to lucrative government opportunities.

Protect Sensitive Data

CMMC mandates comprehensive security measures that significantly reduce risks to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI) from cyber threats.

Reduce Compliance Risk

While achieving CMMC certification requires investment, non-compliance can result in lost contracts, legal penalties, and reputational damage that far exceed the cost of implementation.

Strengthen Supply Chain

Defense contractors must ensure their suppliers meet CMMC requirements, creating opportunities for organizations that achieve certification to participate in defense supply chains.

Generate Revenue

By helping clients achieve and maintain CMMC compliance, MSPs can build recurring revenue streams while delivering high-value cybersecurity services.
