CMMC, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, aims to standardize and improve cybersecurity practices within the United States’ Defense Department and Defense Industrial Base (DIB). If you are A DIB contractor whose unclassified networks possess, store, or transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) – or A DIB contractor whose unclassified networks possess Federal Contract Information (FCI), then CMMC applies to you.

🔒💼 If your company is part of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and deals with federal contract information or controlled unclassified information (CUI), CMMC compliance isn't optional—it's mandatory. Chris Petersen explains the importance of meeting CMMC standards to protect sensitive data and enhance your cybersecurity framework. This is a critical time for DIB companies to assess their compliance strategies and take action. Ensuring you meet CMMC requirements safeguards not only your business's future in defense contracting but also contributes to our national security. #CMMC #CybersecurityCompliance #DIB #FederalContracts #CUI #DefenseIndustry
Who Must Comply with CMMC? All companies within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) dealing with federal contract information are required to be CMMC compliant. This encompasses organizations that receive information from the government to develop a service or product. Moreover, handling controlled unclassified information (CUI)—which includes sensitive, yet unclassified specifications or requirements—necessitates compliance. Ensuring your organization meets CMMC standards is critical for safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining a robust cybersecurity posture. For DIB companies, the imperative is clear: now is the time to act and ensure your compliance with CMMC. Proactively aligning with these requirements is not just about meeting a mandate—it's about securing your future in defense contracting and protecting our nation's interests. #CMMC #CybersecurityCompliance #DIB #FederalContracts #CUI #DefenseIndustry
