CMMC — Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Consulting
CMMC is the DoD cybersecurity verification program for defense industrial base contractors. Under CMMC 2.0, contractors and sub-contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must achieve CMMC Level 2 — verified by a C3PAO — to compete for DFARS-covered contracts. Level 2 aligns with 110 practices from NIST SP 800-171. Level 3 adds NIST SP 800-172 and is assessed by DCSA.
The Three Levels
Level 1 — 17 basic cyber hygiene practices, self-assessment. Level 2 — 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices, C3PAO third-party assessment required for CUI contracts. Level 3 — NIST SP 800-172, DCSA government-led assessment.
