Why does CMMC Certification Matter?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is designed to support businesses protect sensitive data from intellectual property theft. With cybersecurity being a key priority for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), CMMC Certification is a mandatory requirement starting 2024 for all vendors who aspire to bid on contracts and work within the supply chain of the DoD. The various levels of the CMMC assure the DoD that the processes and practices followed by the vendor ensure the safety of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI) and the flow of that information.

Levels of CMMC Certification
Level 1: Foundational
Organizations complying with Level 1 of CMMC Version 2 are required to follow 17 basic cybersecurity practices which can be self-assessed annually. They are required to submit the assessment report along with a written confirmation by the company leadership. Contracts that require a level 1 certifications consist of Federal Contract Information (FCI) which is not critical to national security.
Level 2: Advanced
Organizations complying with Level 2 of CMMC Version 2 are required to follow 110 cybersecurity practices which align with NIST SP 800-171. There are 2 types of assessments for Level 2 based on the type of contract. Contracts classified as Non-prioritized acquisitions with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) require an annual self assessment along with a written confirmation by the company leadership. Contracts classified as Prioritized acquisitions with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) require a third-party triennial assessment.
Level 3: Expert
Organizations complying with Level 3 of CMMC Version 2 are required to follow 110+ cybersecurity practices based on NIST SP 800-172. The assessment for this level is triennial and only conducted by the Department of Defense.
