CMMC COMPLIANCE
We empower our clients with key resources and infrastructure to drive sustainable results.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) combines various cybersecurity standards and best practices founded upon the principles established by FAR 52.204-21 and DFARS 252.204-7012.
Between FY21-FY25, the DoD is implementing a phased roll-out requiring organizations to obtain CMMC across varying maturity levels with full adoption beginning in FY26. The companies that invest time and resources today will be rewarded with more contract opportunities and competitive positioning over the next five years.
CMMC applies to all organizations that serve the DoD as member of the Defense Supply Chain (DSC) and Defense Industrial Base (DIB). The Maturity Level (ML) that an organization is required to achieve is determined by the type of unclassified information held or created by and for the government. Examples of these types of companies include all prime, sub, and 1099 manufacturing companies, janitorial services, lawn care providers, MRO (maintenance, repair & overhaul) operators, and professional service providers, among others.
Companies that outsource CMMC audit readiness and preparation are better positioned to take advantage of upcoming contracts that will require certified compliance against the standards.

Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) – CUI is government created or owned information that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls consistent with applicable laws, regulations and government wide policies. CUI is not classified information. It is not corporate intellectual property unless created for or included in requirements related to a government contract.
All organizations within the DSC and DIB holding and/or creating FCI or CUI will be required to obtain a minimum of CMMC ML1 for FCI and CMMC ML3 for CUI.
Depending on the complexity of your organization's systems, and ML1 certification could take as little as 3-6 months to get prepared and certified. ML2 and above could take as long as 6-12 months. These are representative and the timeline solely depends on the complexity of the organization's technology infrastructure and documentation of policies, training, and standard operating procedures (SOP).
