The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a Department of War (DoW) framework designed to ensure contractors properly protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
CMMC requires DoW contractors to implement and maintain cybersecurity practices that align with their level of data sensitivity and risk exposure. The current version, CMMC 2.0, simplifies the original model while maintaining strong security expectations across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
CMMC applies to all organizations that contract with the U.S. Department of War, including:
Any organization seeking to bid on or maintain DoW contracts must comply with CMMC requirements at the appropriate level.
CMMC 2.0 introduced meaningful changes to reduce complexity and cost while preserving security integrity. The framework now consists of three maturity levels:
CMMC 2.0 also permits the use of Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&M) for select controls, allowing organizations to remediate gaps over time rather than requiring immediate perfection.
CMMC is not optional; it is becoming a contractual requirement. Organizations that prepare early gain:
The biggest risk is waiting too long. Contractors must continue meeting DFARS and NIST 800-171 self-assessment requirements while preparing for formal CMMC enforcement.
