The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) was created by the DoD. This compliance framework is designed to protect sensitive government information its vendors, suppliers, and contractors may have access to.
Small and medium-sized business comprise 73% of all defense contractors. All current and future contractors for the DoD regardless of size will need to have completed CMMC certification status soon. It’s vital to start your CMMC readiness journey now so the process goes smoothly.
There are three different levels of certification: Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. The sensitivity or confidentiality of information you have access to determines your level of certification. We tailor our solutions to meet the level requirements laid out in your contract with the DoD.
No, Convergence Networks is not an official auditor or assessor. The assessments we perform are only to ensure we understand your infrastructure and operations and to find gaps in your requirements so you can proactively address them before an official third-party audit. We also use that information to create customized plans for new cybersecurity solutions, processes or technology on an ongoing basis.
We start our support by completing a readiness assessment and gap analysis. We take that information and implement any required changes. Our experts then perform another assessment to help ensure all the requirements are completed.
The amount of time it takes to become CMMC compliant varies greatly. It depends on the level of certification you need, the number of requirements you already have in place and scheduling audits (if required). After we complete our initial assessments, we can help determine a potential timeline for certification.
As with most compliance regulations, there are penalties for not achieving certification, such as fines or reputational damage. However, not meeting CMMC certification can also result in loss of all DoD contracts and prosecution under the False Claims Act.
