Tips to Prepare for a First Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Assessment

Preparing for a CMMC Assessment

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (“CMMC”) is a unified cybersecurity standard for Department of Defense (“DoD”) acquisitions, aimed at securing the Defense Industrial Base (“DIB”) supply chain. This standard is required for all defense contractors and subcontractors wishing to do business with the DoD.
