Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)
Compliance
Achieve the appropriate level of CMMC in accordance with NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 requirements.
Read More
CMMC is a standard that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) uses to ensure that DoD contractors implement cybersecurity measures to safeguard controlled unclassified information (CUI.)
However, navigating the CMMC framework and achieving compliance can be time-consuming and far from simple. Companies must be fully compliant by 2025 or will lose the ability to bid for or receive future DoD contracts.
GaMEP’s CMMC assistance services will help you gain a better understanding of the CMMC’s technical requirements and prepare you for certification so that you can obtain your position as a secured supplier.
GaMEP will:
- Provide training on NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 requirements as required by Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement (DFARS), including controlled unclassified information (CUI), CMMC certification levels and requirements, and assessment framework.
- Assist with the development of a system security plan (SSP) and plan of actions and milestones (POAM).
- Administer a pre-audit assessment.
By receiving CMMC assistance, you can:
- Lessen the impact of a cyber attack
- Put measures in place to maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data
- Achieve your position as a secured supplier
