The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to assess and enhance the cybersecurity posture of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). It encompasses multiple maturity levels, each with a set of required practices and processes, to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI) within the supply chain.
Why CMMC Compliance Matters
Protects Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
Ensures defense contractors safeguard sensitive data against advanced cyber threats.
Mandatory Coverage
Applies to all defense industrial base (DIB) contractors and subcontractors handling CUI for the Department of Defense.
Breach Readiness
Requires rigorous monitoring, incident response, and remediation so threats are detected and contained quickly.
Executive & Third-Party Accountability
Mandates annual assessments, independent certification, and documented responsibility across leadership.
Defense & Supply Chain Trust
Auditable controls and verified evidence reassure the DoD, prime contractors, and partners across the defense ecosystem.
Who Needs CMMC Compliance?
Prime Defense Contractors
Demonstrate maturity, resilience, and cyber assurance across programs and contracts.
Subcontractors & SMBs in the DIB
Meet CMMC Level 2 obligations without overwhelming resources, leveraging automation and AI.
Aerospace & Manufacturing Suppliers
Protect intellectual property, prototypes, and defense-related R&D with continuous assurance.
Technology & Service Providers
Provide trusted, compliant solutions to primes by proving security readiness and evidence integrity.
