The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), is a three (3) level cybersecurity standards program. CMMC impacts US Department of Defense (DoD) contractors. These contractors are currently required to implement 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) under current DFARS 252.204-7012 contract obligations. They're also required to pass a third-party assessment at Level 2. The Department of Defense projects the Interim Rule to be published around March 2024.

CMMC 2.0 is the next iteration of the DoD's CMMC cybersecurity model. It streamlines requirements into three levels, aligns with NIST cybersecurity standards, and improves supply chain security posture and acquisition confidence. Self-assessments are acceptable for Level 1, while Level 2 aligns with NIST SP 800-171.
The Department’s model will significantly improve its supply chain security posture and acquisition confidence.
CMMC 2.0 includes a level-based model, focuses on Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) standards, and includes additional domains beyond NIST 800-171, providing a more comprehensive approach to cybersecurity. Learn more here.
CMMC Level 1: Focuses on the protection of Federal Contract Information (FCI).
CMMC Level 2: Applies to companies handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
CMMC Level 3: Intended for companies working on the Department of Defense's highest-priority programs in collaboration with CUI.
The Cyber AB is the official accreditation body of the CMMC ecosystem and the sole authorized non-governmental partner of the DoD in implementing and overseeing the conformance regime. The accreditation body verifies the credentials and qualifications of C3PAOs and ensures that they can deliver the appropriate guidance for contracting companies that are trying to meet the compliance requirements. It also establishes the framework and standards for becoming a C3PAO.
