CMMC Certification Preparation to Ensure You Will Keep & Grow Your DoD Business
CMMC Certification Preparation to Secure and Expand Your DoD Business
Keeping sensitive military and government information secure from unauthorized eyes and cyber threats is vital to national security. Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a set of cybersecurity standards organizations must meet to win Department of Defense (DoD) contracts and provide services in the supply chain.
With the rollout of the DoD’s CMMC Final Rule entering contracts in 2025, the time to act is now to keep your business competitive in the defense industry.
Let CBIZ Pivot Point Security guide you on your compliance journey. No matter where you’re starting the process, our comprehensive assessment, remediation and implementation support ensure you meet all necessary CMMC standards.
The Problem
“The U.S. is losing $600 billion a year to our adversaries in exfiltrations, data rights, & R&D loss. If we were able to institute good cyber hygiene and reduce that by 10%, think of the amount of money that we could save to truly reinvest back into our partners in the industrial base that we need to stay on the competitive edge…”
Katie Arrington, Special Assistant For Cybersecurity To Assistant Secretary of Defense For Acquisition
What is CMMC Compliance?
In the past, companies that process sensitive government data have only been required to “self-attest” to their compliance with relevant cybersecurity standards, including rules outlined in the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and NIST SP 800-171 published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The self-assessment approach has resulted in notable breaches of critical government information, driving the DoD and other government agencies to mandate a more rigorous verification process — Cybersecurity Maturity Model compliance.
CMMC compliance measures the maturity of your organization’s security practices and your ability to protect two types of information:
- Federal Contract Information (FCI)
- Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
Things are changing — contractors must showcase their ability to safeguard controlled government and military data from unauthorized disclosure through compliance with CMMC. We can help. Let us customize or improve your CMMC compliance program.
Understanding CMMC Compliance Levels
The CMMC Final Rule, also called CMMC 2.0, consists of three compliance levels based on the information a contractor manages. To win DoD and government contracts, your organization must achieve a specified CMMC level.
At CBIZ Pivot Point Security, we take this into consideration and base our CMMC services on the certification level you wish to achieve.
Level 1 Compliance: Foundational Requirements
Level 1 focuses on basic cyber hygiene. Level 1 organizations can only manage FCI — not CUI. To achieve Level 1, you must implement basic security controls stated in FAR 52.204-21, which include:
- Applying 17 basic cybersecurity practices, as well as self-assessment and documentation.
- Performing an annual self-assessment to demonstrate compliance.
Level 2 Compliance: Advanced Security Protocols
Defense contractors are mandated to comply with CMMC Level 2, Advanced Security Protocols, handle CUI and participate in programs deemed critical to national security.
To be compliant at Level 2, you must:
- Implement all 110 security practices outlined in NIST SP 800-171.
- Perform annual self-assessments for non-critical contracts.
- Undergo an independent certification audit by a Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO) every three years.
- Document a System Security Plan (SSP) and a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M).
Level 3 Compliance: Expert Cybersecurity Standards
CMMC Level 3, also called Expert, focuses on controls and measures to protect CUI from advanced persistent threats (APTs), which are often more relentless and complex than traditional cyberattacks.
To attain Level 3, you must:
- Satisfy all Level 1 and Level 2 requirements.
- Implement an additional 24 enhanced security controls outlined in NIST SP 800-172.
- Be audited by the DoD’s Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity Assessment Center (DIBCAC).
