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 establish CMMC has a third party management program, to ensure all DOD contracts has the same security controls in place, which will in turn provide each DOD contractor with and optimized security posture, which will also increase overall security for DOD.

 CMMC COMPLIANCE SUPPORT & AUDIT READINESS

Our team of CMMC experts will simplify and accelerate your CMMC compliance for DoD contracts,

• CMMC NIST SP 800-171 DOD regulations: The DoD plans to engage a non-profit organization to certify third-party auditors. Once CMMC auditors are certified, they will be responsible for conducting third-party assessments of DoD contractors beginning in mid-2020.DoD contractors. Unlike before organization would self attest and security gaps that were identified were noted in a Plan of Actions and Milestones (POA&M), allowing a contractor to continue to provide products and services without achieving compliance with all 110 security controls.

• CMMC Risk Categorization: Organizations must categorize their information and information systems in order of risk to ensure that sensitive information and the systems that use it are given the highest level of security. 

• CMMC System Security Plan: CMMC requires agencies to create a security plan which is regularly maintained and kept up to date. The plan should cover things like the security controls implemented within the organization, security policies, and a timetable for the introduction of further controls.

• CMMC Security Controls: CMMC outlines an extensive catalog of suggested security controls for NIST compliance. CMMC does not require an agency to implement every single control; instead, they are instructed to implement the controls that are relevant to their organization and systems. Once the appropriate controls are selected and the security requirements have been satisfied, the organizations must document the selected controls in their system security plan.

• CMMC Risk Assessments: Risk assessments are a key element of CMMC’s information security requirements. NIST offers some guidance on how agencies should conduct risk assessments. According to the NIST guidelines, risk assessments should be three-tiered to identify security risks at the organizational level, the business process level, and the information system level.

  CMMC Certification and Accreditation: CMMC requires program officials and agency heads to conduct annual security reviews to ensure risks are kept to a minimum level. Agencies can achieve NIST Certification and Accreditation (C&A) through a four-phased process which includes initiation and planning, certification, accreditation, and continuous monitoring.

DoD Subcontractors can be assured that RPO organizations follow a rigorous Code of Ethics and have passed cybersecurity training and exams that are required by the CMMC-AB. CyberSecOp has several Registered Practitioners on its staff ready and available to guide organizations through the CMMC path and certification.
