Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)

Become a CMMC certified organization to maintain your organization’s Department of Defense supplier status.

As rulemaking around CMMC 2.0 is currently underway, all DoD suppliers will be mandated to comply with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification requirements by 2025 in order to bid on new contracts or continue to do business with the DoD. This cybersecurity certification verifies your company employs information security practices that safeguard federal contract information and controlled unclassified information -- such as technical drawings for military aircraft – to help protect national security.

The Defense Industrial Base has been given the green light to undergo voluntary assessments with CMMC-accredited third-party assessment organizations ; obtaining certification ahead of final rulemaking and the mandatory deadline will provide a competitive advantage in responding to requests for information (RFIs) and requests for proposals (RFPs).
