Each level consists of practices and processes as well as those speci?ed in lower levels. A Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) performs the assessment and recommends/do not recommend CMMC certi?cations. No existing contracts with the department will have CMMC requirements inserted into them. The new CMMC provides for ?ve levels of certi?cation in both cybersecurity practices and processes.

The CMMC Accreditation Body (CMMC-AB) The CMMC Accreditation Body (AB), a non-pro?t, independent organization, will accredit CMMC Third Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs) and individual assessors.

CUI, established by Executive Order 13556, is an umbrella term for all unclassi?ed information that requires safeguarding. FOUO, which stands for ‘For O?cial Use Only’, is a document designation used by the DoD. Those organizations that start preparing for CMMC levels now will get an advantage to bid for any contractors that require CMMC. Preparing for CMMC levels and getting ready for an Assessment takes some time. DoD is already including CMMC requirements in to their contracts now. CMMC Level 3 is the most common level and will qualify for most of the federal contracts for small and medium sized businesses.     CMMC Cybersecurity , Tags: Social YouTube Facebook LinkedIn Twitter Recent Modern Day Thieves Are Stealing Cars via Headlights AI A?ect on Cybersecurity – Written by ChatGPT Kaseya VSA Ransomware Attack American public lost $4.1 Billion in 2020 due to Cybercrimes What is CMMC?
