Are you concerned with protecting your organization’s sensitive information and digital assets, but unsure of where to start? As of 2020, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) mandates that all defense contractors adhere to their Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). A CMMC assessment is a specialized cybersecurity evaluation by an approved provider required for entry into the DoD marketplace. Understanding the scope of a CMMC assessment can be overwhelming – from initial preparation through system design and implementation – so let’s discuss how setting parameters in advance may help streamline the process for your business.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a vital part of the future for any company that handles sensitive information. Not only does it offer an invaluable evaluation in cybersecurity practices and standards, but it also provides greater clarity on what can be done from both a technical and procedural standpoint to ensure the safety of all data within an organization. But before organizations begin implementing CMMC-level security measures, they must first understand their assessment’s scope – how large or small it will be and which areas need attention. In this post, we’ll discuss why understanding your assessment’s scope is essential for successfully completing a CMMC audit.
