Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a mandatory framework for companies within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) seeking to win or maintain federal contracts. CMMC requires organizations to demonstrate robust cybersecurity practices and controls based on the sensitivity of federal contract information they handle.
For manufacturers and suppliers supporting federal agencies, CMMC is no longer optional. For example, a tier-one defense contractor must achieve and sustain Level 2 certification to retain DoD contracts, while smaller subcontractors managing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must show evidence of specific practices and policies. Achieving certification is both a compliance requirement and a competitive advantage in the federal contracting ecosystem.
