What is CMMC?

To protect Department of War (DoW) information and mitigate risk of cyber-attacks, the DoW developed CMMC, which is an assessment of a defense contractor’s ability to safeguard Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). By obtaining an official certification, you’ll demonstrate to the DoW that you’ve implemented contractually required cybersecurity standards across all systems managing FCI or CUI and ultimately position yourself for continued contract opportunities.

There are three tiers of CMMC (Foundational, Advanced, and Expert), where your requirements depend on the type of sensitivity of FCI or CUI you’re handling.

Frequently Asked Questions about CMMC

CMMC assessments will start being required in November of this year. Companies may get assessed prior to this time.

CMMC requirements are being implemented in a four-phase plan that adds requirements incrementally over the course of three years.

  • Phase 1 began on November 10, 2025. Solicitations require level 1 or level 2 self-assessments, where applicable.
  • Phase 2 begins on November 11, 2026. Solicitations will require level 2 certifications, where applicable.
  • Phase 3 begins on November 10, 2027. Solicitations will require level 3 certifications, where applicable.
  • Phase 4 begins on November 10, 2028. Solicitations will require applicable CMMC requirements as a condition of the award.
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is a Department of War (DoW) program that verifies a contractor’s ability to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). If you want to bid on or retain DoW contracts, especially those involving sensitive information, obtaining the appropriate CMMC level is now a contract requirement. Agencies beyond the DoW are also expected to adopt these requirements.
CMMC requirements began appearing in DoW solicitations when the updated DFARS rule became effective in November 2025. Many contract awards now require CMMC compliance, and this requirement will expand over the next few years.
The required CMMC level depends on the type and sensitivity of data your company handles. Contracts specifying access to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) generally require higher CMMC levels, while simpler contracts that only involve Federal Contract Information (FCI) often require a lower level. The contracting officer will list the required level in your contract.
Some CMMC levels allow self-assessment (e.g., Level 1 or basic Level 2) where you attest your compliance. Higher levels, especially when CUI is involved, require an independent third-party assessment conducted by a certified C3PAO.
A gap assessment evaluates your current cybersecurity controls against CMMC requirements to identify where you fall short. This is critical for building a “path-to-pass” plan with prioritized remediation, reducing surprises during the formal assessment.
There’s no single timeline. It varies based on your existing cybersecurity posture, the complexity of your environment, and the CMMC level required. Organizations often spend several months preparing and remediating before scheduling the formal assessment.
Yes. If your business handles CUI or is otherwise included in a DoW supply chain contract that flows down CMMC requirements, certification at the required level is necessary regardless of whether you are a prime contractor or subcontractor.
If your organization isn’t certified at the required level by the time of contract award, you could be deemed ineligible to bid or might lose opportunities on new DoW contracts.
Yes. Ongoing compliance requires annual checks and documentation to demonstrate continued ability to meet the required controls. All levels require annual attestations in SPRS (Supplier Performance Risk System).
Costs depend on your CMMC level, existing security posture, assessment type, and remediation needs. Budgeting should include assessments, remediation work, and potential consulting support.
