The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a certification program created by the Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure that all contractors who work with the DoD are compliant with cybersecurity best practices when protecting Controlled Unclassified Data (CUI) data. With three levels of certification, each with differing requirements, and an ever-evolving standard, you may be challenged in understanding where to start and what to do to gain certification.
