All Department of Defense contractors need to ensure that they fall within the security guidelines imposed by the government. One of the most important aspects to this that defense contractors need to comply with is the new CMMC model.
Complying with the New CMMC Regulations
The CMMC, or Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, is a unified standard for helping to implement cybersecurity in a fundamentally safe and secure way. While in the past, contractors were responsible for the implementation, monitoring, and certification of their IT’s security according to NIST SP 800-171 guidelines, contractors will now be required to undergo third-party assessments to ensure CMMC compliance.
What does this mean for a DoD contractor? Simply, that you need to have the right help on your side.
