Cybersecurity Maturity model certification (CMMC)

SWICKtech provides risk assessment and IT compliance solutions to help regulated businesses deploy effective controls for mitigation. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program serves as a method of verifying appropriate levels of cybersecurity controls meet the specific standards in place to protect controlled, unclassified information that may be held on the DoD’s industry partners' networks. Moving forward, your business will have to meet certain CMMC criteria in order to bid against any Government related job.

Cmmc vs dfars vs nist 800-171

It's hard to research one term without needing to research the others. However, CMMC, DFARS, and NIST are not to be used interchangeably. In short, NIST develops information security standards and guidelines that are often pointed to as a minimum of best cybersecurity practices, but are not the regulatory agency. DFARS simply defines these requirements, and references NIST 800-171. Finally, NIST is not involved in the design, development, or implementation of CMMC. Rather, CMMC utilizes the publically available security requirements outlined by NIST, and references them as an important cybersecurity standard.
