Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a security assessment and verification standard for defense contractors providing services and products to the Department of Defense (DoD).
The CMMC was first announced in January 2020, and targeted the more than 300,000 companies that make up the defense industrial base (DIB). The intent is to assess the security levels of companies in the DIB to protect controlled unclassified information (CUI) and federal contract information (FCI) against cybersecurity attacks, so crucial data is not intercepted by hackers or enemies of the United States.
