As technology continues to advance and businesses rely more on digital systems, the importance of cyber security has become increasingly crucial. The US Department of Defense (DoD) has recognized this and has implemented a cybersecurity compliance program known as the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).
A relatively new program to address cybersecurity risks within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). The CMMC program is designed to ensure that DIB contractors have the necessary cybersecurity controls in place to protect sensitive information and to maintain the security of the DoD’s supply chain.
CMMC compliance is now a requirement for any organization that wishes to work with the DoD. To comply, businesses must adhere to industry-standard cybersecurity standards and obtain certification from an accredited third-party assessment organization, in order to be eligible to participate in defense projects. It is essential that businesses understand and abide these requirements in order to ensure that their security posture remains strong and compliant.
For companies like ours, the importance of CMMC compliance cannot be overstated. It is now more critical than ever to ensure that all aspects of a business’s IT infrastructure meet the required cybersecurity standards. This includes assessing, implementing, and maintaining security controls, as well as continuous monitoring of the systems to detect any potential threats or vulnerabilities.
