Understand the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), its key elements, impact, and tips for contractors in the Department of Defense (DOD) contracting industry.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is an essential framework in the government contracting industry, particularly for those working with the Department of Defense (DOD). It ensures that companies in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) are implementing effective cybersecurity practices to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
For a comprehensive understanding, it's recommended to visit the official CMMC page by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment. Various articles from FCW, Federal News Network, and FedScoop offer in-depth insights on CMMC's development, contractor guidance, and industry feedback.

Understanding its requirements, processes, and implications is crucial for businesses aiming to comply and succeed in this sector.
