FAQs

What is CMMC? All contracting companies that win federal contracts with the U.S. government must comply with CMMC.

CMMC Compliance FAQ

Q1: What is CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework established by the Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure that contractors and subcontractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) meet specific cybersecurity standards.

Q2: Who needs to be CMMC compliant?
Any organization that works on DoD contracts, including prime contractors and subcontractors, must achieve CMMC compliance at the appropriate level for their contract requirements.

Q3: What are the levels of CMMC?
The updated CMMC 2.0 framework includes three levels:

• Level 1 (Foundational): Basic safeguarding of FCI with 17 controls.
• Level 2 (Advanced): Advanced protection of CUI with controls aligned to NIST SP 800-171.
• Level 3 (Expert): Advanced security aligned with a subset of NIST SP 800-172 for critical systems.

Q4: What is an SSP in CMMC?
A System Security Plan (SSP) is a document that outlines how your organization implements, manages, and maintains the controls required by the CMMC framework. It is a critical part of the compliance process.

Q5: How is CMMC different from NIST SP 800-171?
While NIST SP 800-171 is a framework for protecting CUI, CMMC builds on these requirements and includes additional controls, verification processes, and certification through independent assessments.

Q6: What happens if my organization is not CMMC compliant?
Without CMMC compliance, your organization will be ineligible to bid on or participate in DoD contracts. Achieving compliance is essential for maintaining or securing DoD business.

Q7: How can we prepare for a CMMC assessment?
Preparation involves several key steps:

• Conduct a gap analysis to evaluate your current security posture.
• Develop a compliant System Security Plan (SSP) plus attachments.
• Implement necessary controls and mitigations.
• Conduct a pre-assessment to identify and address potential issues before the official review.

Q8: How long does it take to achieve CMMC compliance?
The timeline depends on your current cybersecurity maturity level and the scope of your operations. On average, organizations spend several months preparing, remediating gaps, and undergoing assessments.

Q9: Do I need to renew my CMMC certification?
Yes, CMMC certifications are valid for three years. Organizations must undergo re-assessment to maintain compliance.

Q10: How much does CMMC compliance cost?
Costs vary depending on your organization’s size, existing security measures, and the level of certification required. Expenses include remediation, assessment fees, and possibly external consulting support.

Q11: Can my organization handle CMMC compliance internally?
Yes, but many organizations find it beneficial to work with external experts to streamline the process, ensure accuracy, and save time.

Q12: How can you help with CMMC compliance?
We provide end-to-end CMMC compliance services, including gap analysis, SSP development, control implementation, and audit readiness support. Our goal is to help you achieve certification efficiently and effectively.
