Introduction to CMMC Compliance
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a cybersecurity framework designed to enhance the security posture of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and their supply chain. Developed by the Department of Defense (DoD), the CMMC ensures that contractors and subcontractors handling sensitive information have the appropriate cybersecurity measures in place.
The basic premise of the CMMC is to ensure that by 2025, all the DoD supply chain contractors and subcontractors, except for the providers of commercial-off-the-shelf products, should get a third-party certification for their proficiency in cybersecurity before embarking on the awarded contract.
There are several cloud platforms that organizations can use for their operations. But which platform is right for your organization? Which one aligns with your particular compliance needs among the many platforms on offer? If you are a Contractor in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), your options are limited because of the sensitivity of data you hold or transmit. The DIB contractors are contractually required to meet the requirements of DFARS 252.204-7012, built around the NIST 800-171 and various other controls. In addition to controls requiring data sovereignty like NOFORN and ITAR, these controls are only met using Microsoft GCC high.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework was introduced by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) in 2020 to enhance the cybersecurity posture of defense contractors. Since its introduction, the framework has undergone several changes, with the latest version being CMMC 2.0. This new version brings significant changes to the certification process, and it is essential to understand the CMMC 2.0 rulemaking process and what to expect from this new version.
As cybersecurity threats continue to increase in sophistication, the importance of securing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) has never been more vital. To combat these challenges, the Department of Defense (DoD) has implemented the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework, which sets cybersecurity standards for companies that handle CUI.
Introduction to CRMP and CMMC Compliance
Understanding CMMC and CRMP
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework designed to enhance the security of sensitive information for organizations within the Department of Defense (DoD) supply chain. A Cybersecurity Risk Management Plan (CRMP) is essential for achieving CMMC compliance, as it outlines strategies to identify, manage, and mitigate risks.
