Understanding NIST and CMMC Compliance
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides a framework for companies to improve their cybersecurity posture. It started to help organizations manage and mitigate cybersecurity risks more effectively, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information.
What About CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a program developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) to enhance cybersecurity across the defense industrial base. It ensures that contractors have robust cybersecurity measures in place to protect sensitive information from cyber threats.
What Is The DoD CMMC Program?
The DoD CMMC Program mandates that all DoD contractors achieve a specific cybersecurity maturity level. This certification verifies that the necessary processes and practices are in place to safeguard controlled unclassified information (CUI).
What Are The CMMC 2.0 Models?
CMMC 2.0 introduces a streamlined model comprising three maturity levels:
- Level 1 – Foundational Cyber Hygiene (Basic safeguarding requirements)
- Level 2 – Advanced Cyber Hygiene (Aligned with NIST SP 800-171)
- Level 3 – Expert Cyber Hygiene (Aligned with a subset of NIST SP 800-172)
