How to Prepare for CMMC

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is an assessment program designed to ensure that Department of Defense (DoD) contractors and subcontractors meet the cybersecurity requirements for handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). With the release of CMMC 2.0, significant changes have been made to align with evolving NIST standards.

If your organization is mandated to comply with CMMC 2.0, it’s crucial to take proactive steps to ensure readiness. Here’s a groundbreaking approach to preparing for CMMC compliance:

Embrace the Future: Start Today

CMMC is the largest and most complexity cybersecurity framework to date. CMMC has an aggressive timeline requirement which is depended on NIST standards that are still being defined (NIST 800-171 Rev 3).

The worst thing you can do is to procrastinate, only to rush through the assessment and remediation exercises at the last minute.

There will be organizations faced with having their contracts revoked for non-compliance.

Define Your Cybersecurity Universe

CMMC represents the largest and most complex cybersecurity framework to date, with an ambitious timeline that depends on the evolving NIST 800-171 Rev 3 standards. Procrastination is the enemy; rushing through assessments and remediation at the last minute is a recipe for disaster. Non-compliance could lead to contract revocation. Act now to secure your organization’s future.

Assess Your Readiness with Confidence

CMMC is built on the foundation of the NIST 800-171 standard. Organizations that already meet this standard are in a better position to fulfill CMMC requirements. However, it’s important to note that NIST 800-171 has evolved, and the upcoming NIST 800-171 Rev 3 in 2024 may introduce further changes.

Jivoo’s AI-powered Compliance Copilot provides a comprehensive readiness assessment solution, tailored to both NIST 800-171 Rev 3 and CMMC requirements.

Bridging the Compliance Gap

With a clear understanding of your organization’s compliance baseline, it’s time to bridge any gaps and bring your cybersecurity program up to par. If your current program falls significantly short of NIST 800-171 and CMMC compliance requirements, the remediation process may be substantial.

Jivoo’s AI Compliance Copilot offers a remediation solution that accelerates your journey to NIST 800-171 Rev 3 and CMMC compliance.

Budget Wisely: Cutting Costs, Not Corners

Traditional CMMC compliance is not cheap according to the Pentagon.

The following table depicts the Pentagon’s estimation on the non-recurring, recurring, and certification costs of CMMC 2.0 compliance.
