CMMC: The Future of Cyber Maturity for Defense Contractors

As cyber threats continue to target U.S. defense contractors, the Department of Defense has made one thing clear: security can no longer be self-assessed or assumed. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) was introduced to verify that organizations meet strict standards for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI). This whitepaper explores how CMMC builds on NIST SP 800-171, what the new model (CMMC 2.0) looks like, and how contractors should prepare for certification. Based on insights from defense integrators, MSPs, and compliance professionals, we break down each maturity level, outline the assessment process, and offer guidance on implementation and budgeting. If your organization supports the Department of Defense — whether directly or through subcontracting — CMMC isn’t just a roadmap, it’s a requirement for staying in the game.
