Frequently Asked Questions
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the Department of Defense’s (DoD) program for ensuring that defense contractors protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI). Without CMMC certification, organizations will be ineligible to win or participate in many DoD contracts. Certification proves that you meet the required cybersecurity standards to handle sensitive information.
- Level 1: 17 basic controls for protecting Federal Contract Information (FCI). Self-assessment allowed.
- Level 2: All 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Most companies will need a third-party audit.
- Level 3: Advanced controls from NIST SP 800-172 to protect against sophisticated threats. Audits are performed by the DoD (DCMA DIBCAC).
Certification is obtained through self-assessments (for some contracts) or third-party assessments by a CMMC Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO), depending on the required level of CMMC compliance.
With the final rules nearly complete, CMMC requirements are expected to start showing up in DoD contracts by Q4 2025. That means contractors must start preparing now to avoid delays when opportunities go live.
For nearly a decade, defense contractors have been required to follow NIST 800-171 and DFARS 7012, but too many companies self-assessed incorrectly or failed to close security gaps. This left DoD data exposed, creating financial losses and national security risks. CMMC fixes this problem by requiring verified compliance through audits.That’s why CMMC raises the bar: instead of checking your own homework, most organizations will now need verified audits to prove compliance.
DFARS 7012 let contractors self-assess and self-report their compliance with NIST SP 800-171. CMMC requires verified NIST 800-171 compliance through third-party assessments. CMMC changes the game by requiring most organizations to pass an audit conducted by an approved third-party assessor (C3PAO) to prove compliance.
On your own, CMMC preparation can stretch 6–18 months. Even organizations with mature security programs often need at least six months to identify gaps, remediate issues, and generate the required documentation, and that’s before factoring in audit scheduling delays. But with the right tools and expert support, we’ve seen companies achieve assessment-ready status in under 90 days.
- SPRS is where you submit your compliance score.
- SSP is the System Security Plan auditors will review.
- POA&M is your roadmap for closing security gaps.
