Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)

Announced by the US Department of Defense (DoD) in Summer 2019 as a means to improve Cybersecurity practices in the Defense Industrial Base.

Version 1.O of the CMMC was released on January 31 2020.

The official website of CMMC is at https://www.acq.osd.mil/cmmc/

The CMMC has five levels of maturity (similar to the Capability Maturity Model Integration) against which a DoD contractor will be independently assessed. Independent assessors will be trained and accredited by the CMMC Accreditation Body, https://www.cmmcab.org.
