5 Step Guide to CMMC Preparation

Contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense that involve Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) require contractors to implement the security controls in NIST 800-171 and comply with DFARS 252.204-7012. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program establishes verification mechanisms for these requirements through either self-assessments or third-party assessments, depending on contract sensitivity.

Achieving audit-ready compliance involves far more than documentation. Building a defensible, cost-effective program requires proven implementation experience. CyberSheath developed this easy-to-follow 5-Step Guide, informed by hundreds of implementations, to help organizations efficiently implement controls, operationalize compliance, and prepare for CMMC and DOD cybersecurity assessments.
