Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a standard developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to ensure defense contractors protect sensitive information. It assesses a company's cybersecurity practices across multiple levels, from basic security measures to advanced protections. Contractors must meet these standards to bid on and work with DOD projects, encouraging all to implement consistent, reliable security protocols. The goal is to safeguard sensitive defense data from cyber threats by mandating verified security maturity through a structured certification process.
