CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) initiative designed to assess and enhance the cybersecurity posture of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
The certification ensures that contractors have the necessary controls to protect sensitive data, including Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
CMMC compliance requires a multi-layered cybersecurity approach, including data encryption, threat detection, and incident response capabilities. It aims to protect against cyber threats and secure DoD information.
