What Is CMMC Readiness?

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) was created by the Department of Defense (DoD) to safeguard sensitive government information. This compliance certification is required by all current and future aerospace and defense contractors. Unlike DFARS, which allows self-certification, CMMC generally requires certification by a third-party auditor. Without the right technical expertise required for compliance, understanding and implementing these requirements can be overwhelming. Non-compliance could result in fines and even lost DoD business.
