Accredited CMMC Assessment Services
CMMC RPO | NIST 800-171 | CMMC Policy | CMMC Compliance
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is mandatory for all contractors doing business with the DoD at any level. All contractors are required to obtain a CMMC certification. This includes all suppliers at all tiers along the supply chain, small businesses, commercial item contractors, and foreign suppliers. No organizations are permitted to receive or share DoD information related to programs & projects without having completed the CMMC Compliance.
CMMC-AB Registered Provider Organization (RPO)
Undergoing a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) assessment is a mandatory component for organizations and Department of Defense (DoD) contractors who are to work with the Department of Defense (DoD). Not only is CMMC a prerequisite before being awarded a DoD contract, but becoming CMMC certified provides the DoD verification that your company has implemented appropriate cybersecurity practices and processes to safeguard Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
CMMC Assessment and Readiness
The expertise you need to prepare for CMMC compliance.
Scoping your CMMC Assessment
Our team will collaborate with you to determine the appropriate CMMC level for your company; the next step will be to define the scope of your assessment and document it. Scoping is an important step in correctly identifying and including only the areas of operations required by the company when contracting with the DoD. The assessment scope will serve as the boundary for which the CMMC certificate will be issued.
How can CyberSecOp help your organization with CMMC?
CyberSecOp has created a suite of advisory services to help organizations effectively plan and prepare for an official CMMC assessment:
CMMC Assessment Scoping Workshop – determine the type of data and the required CMMC maturity level needed. Identify how data is received, stored, shared, and handled on all information systems.
CMMC Gap Analysis – identify discrepancies between the current state and CMMC maturity levels as determined in the scoping workshop. The CMMC Gap Analysis will provide areas of weakness that must be targeted to reach the desired maturity level.
CMMC Remediation Strategy –assist the organization with remediation efforts, including resolving discrepancies identified in the CMMC Gap Analysis and creating a strategic plan for remediation. This process may include security control testing, policies, procedures, and plan creation to close all known gaps related to the desired maturity level.
VCISO (Virtual Chief Information Security Officer) – CyberSecOp provides a board-level security expert backed by a team of professionals to ensure continuous compliance and maintain maturity as threats, infrastructure, and business objectives evolve. Services include the following.

Leveled Practices
Most practices (110 of 171) originate from the safeguarding and security requirements specified in FAR Clause 52.204-21 and DFARS Clause 252.204-7012. The practices fall into five levels:
CMMC Level 1 represents basic cyber hygiene and focuses on protecting federal contract information (FCI). It consists of practices that correspond only to the basic safeguarding requirements specified in 48 CFR 52.204-21 ("Basic Safeguarding of Covered Contractor Information Systems").
CMMC Level 2 is a transitional step in cybersecurity maturity progression to protect CUI. Level 2 consists of a subset of the security requirements specified in NIST SP 800-171 and practices from other standards and references.
CMMC Level 3 focuses on the protection of CUI. It encompasses all of the security requirements specified in NIST SP 800‑171 and additional practices from other standards and references.
Who does CMMC compliance affect
Department of Defense (DoD) contractors are now well aware of the cybersecurity mandates that have been sweeping across the defense industry over the past several years. In 2015, The U.S. Department of Defense published the Defense Acquisition Federal Regulation Supplement, known as DFARS, which mandates that private DoD Contractors adopt cybersecurity standards according to the NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity framework. This is all part of a government-led effort to protect the U.S. defense supply chain from foreign and domestic cyber threats, and reduce the overall security risk to DOD. DOD extablis CMMC has a third party management program, to ensure all DOD contracts has the same security controls in place, which will inturn provide each DOD contractor with and optimized security posture, which will also increase overall security for DOD.
