CMMC
What is CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a unified standard for cybersecurity compliance required by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) for contractors in the Defense Industrial Base. It combines multiple cybersecurity standards and best practices into a single framework with five maturity levels.

Ranges from basic cyber hygiene (Level 1) to advanced/progressive security (Level 5).
Domains

Formal Assessment
Certified independent assessors conduct evaluations; certification necessary for DoD contract eligibility.
Focus on Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)

Benefits of CMMC
