Overview - CMMC

What is CMMC?

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a unified standard developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to protect sensitive defense information across its supply chain. By implementing robust cybersecurity practices, organizations enhance their security posture and meet mandatory requirements to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI).

CMMC Levels Explained

CMMC certification is structured into three primary levels, reflecting progressively stringent cybersecurity standards based on NIST SP 800-171:

Level 1: Foundational

Addresses basic safeguarding of FCI. Organizations implement fundamental cybersecurity hygiene practices to protect information from unauthorized disclosure. A Level 1 Self-Assessment is often the starting point for small to mid-sized businesses, involving internal review and documentation of basic cybersecurity controls.

Level 2: Advanced

Focused on the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Level 2 requires comprehensive implementation and documentation of cybersecurity controls in line with NIST 800-171, validated by a Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO).

Level 3: Expert

Designed for managing highly sensitive CUI, this level demands sophisticated proactive cybersecurity measures, continuous monitoring processes, and expert-level compliance documentation validated through rigorous third-party assessments.

FAQs

Which organizations need to comply with CMMC?

Any organization that handles Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) as part of their work with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) must comply with CMMC. This includes prime government contractors and subcontractors in the defense industrial base (DIB), of any size.

How do I determine which CMMC level my organization needs to achieve?

Your company’s required CMMC level depends on the type of data you handle and your role in the DoD supply chain. Level 1 applies to organizations that only handle FCI. Level 2 is for organizations managing CUI and requires a third-party assessment. Level 3 is reserved for companies dealing with high-value assets and sensitive CUI, demanding advanced cybersecurity practices. BD Emerson’s CMMC consulting services will help you assess and determine the right level based on your contracts and data exposure.

What is included in BD Emerson’s fixed-price CMMC packages?

Each package includes a full gap assessment, hands-on control implementation, audit-ready documentation (SSP, POA&M, responsibility matrix), and advisory support. Level 2 and 3 packages also include cloud migration, digital transformation planning, and coordination with your chosen 3PAO. Pricing is tiered based on the certification level and applies to companies with fewer than 500 employees.
