Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC):

Malicious cyber actors have targeted, and continue to target, the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) sector and the supply chain of the Department of Defense (DoD). The DIB sector supports the warfighter and contributes toward the research, engineering, development, acquisition, production, delivery, sustainment, and operations of DoD systems, networks, installations, capabilities, and services. The aggregate loss of intellectual property and certain unclassified information from the DoD supply chain undercuts U.S. technical advantages and innovation as well as significantly increases risk to national security.

The DoD is working with industry to enhance the protection of Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). As a part of this initiative, the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)) has developed the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework in concert with DoD stakeholders, University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs), Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), and the DIB sector.
