CMMC 2.0 FAQ
Organizations within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or Federal Contract Information (FCI) are required to comply with CMMC 2.0. Defense contractors and subcontractors working with the Department of Defense (DoD) must meet specific CMMC compliance requirements to maintain eligibility for contracts.
NIST SP 800-171 is a set of cybersecurity standards developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in non-federal systems. It defines 110 security controls across 14 categories, including access control, incident response, and data protection. NIST SP 800-171 compliance is required for CMMC 2.0 certification at Levels 2 and 3.
CMMC readiness requires a proactive and structured approach to meeting CMMC 2.0 compliance standards. Start by determining the required CMMC certification level based on your contracts. Then, identify compliance gaps in your organization’s processes and infrastructure. Once you have identified gaps, implement remediation measures, which might include enhancing policies, improving cybersecurity controls, and training personnel.
