Q&A on CMMC Certification Process

CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is a certification process that measures the cybersecurity maturity of defense contractors.

Any organization that works as a contractor or subcontractor for the Department of Defense (DoD) needs to be CMMC certified.

CMMC has three compliance levels, based on the type of information DIB organizations are working with:

  • Level 1 is for organizations working with FCI only and requires compliance with the basic safeguarding requirements and procedures specified in FAR 52.204-21.
  • Level 2 is for organizations working with CUI and requires compliance with the 110 security controls specified in NIST 800-171.
  • Level 3 is for organizations working with CUI and subject to Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and requires compliance with NIST 800-172.

Level 1 focuses on basic safeguarding of federal contract information with 17 security controls.

Level 2 serves as a transition step to protect controlled unclassified information (CUI) and encompasses 72 practices.

Level 3 requires the establishment, maintenance, and resource planning for managing controlled unclassified information, involving 130 practices.

Compliance is assessed by Certified Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs) who evaluate the organization’s adherence to the required practices and processes.

CMMC certifications are valid for three years.

Yes, organizations can prepare internally but will need to be assessed by a C3PAO.

Costs vary based on the CMMC level, the size of the organization, and the complexity of its networks and data.

The official CMMC website provides guidelines and resources.

Policies, procedures, system security plans, and evidence of practices are typically required.

Subcontractors must also be CMMC certified at the required level depending on the information they handle.

They will need to address the deficiencies and undergo a re-assessment to achieve certification.

Regular reviews are recommended, at least annually, or as changes occur that might affect compliance.

Common Pitfalls in CMMC Certification

• Underestimating the Scope: Organizations often underestimate the extent of the processes and documentation required.

• Lack of Resources: Small to medium-sized enterprises may find the resource requirements for implementing necessary cybersecurity measures challenging.

• Insufficient Documentation: Failing to have thorough documentation is a common reason for failing CMMC assessments.
