CMMC Compliance Guide

What is CMMC?

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure that defense contractors and subcontractors meet strict cybersecurity requirements.

CMMC consists of three maturity levels, each with increasing security controls:

• Level 1 (Basic Cyber Hygiene) – Foundational cybersecurity practices.
• Level 2 (Advanced Cyber Hygiene) – Intermediate security controls.
• Level 3 (Expert Cybersecurity) – Advanced threat protection aligned with NIST 800-171.

Who Needs CMMC Compliance?

Any business that contracts with the DoD or handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must comply with CMMC requirements. This includes:

• Defense contractors & subcontractors
• Manufacturers supplying the DoD
• Aerospace & engineering firms
• MSPs managing IT for defense clients

What Happens if You Are Not CMMC Compliant?

Failure to achieve CMMC certification can result in:

• Loss of DoD contracts and disqualification from government bids.
• Financial penalties for non-compliance.
• Security breaches due to weak cybersecurity controls.
• Reputational damage and loss of client trust.

CMMC compliance is not optional—it is a mandatory requirement for any business working within the DoD supply chain.
