Getting CMMC Certified in Raleigh, North Carolina (NC)
A company that wants to work around or with the Department of Defense in the country needs to be prepared for the regulations and requirements it will have to meet. Working in this field and being a defense contractor isn’t simple. Actually, our company and every person working in it admire businesses that are willing to invest time, resources, and dedicate their services to this industry and area.
It is a good one when it comes to producing and earning revenue, but it can be exhausting to always be careful about some elements and aspects of the company in order to follow certain protocols. However, we also understand why it is necessary and we are sure you do as well. After all, you are here because you decided to own your company in this field long ago or just recently.
As a defense contractor, you will need to implement ISO standards and formal regulations that set out the systems and levels in different areas of the company. One of them is related to cybersecurity and how capable is your company of protecting the information and data not only from its own system but also of its clients and customers.
If you can’t provide protection and security, there is no way you can have a company in the first place.
That being said, recently in January 2020, the organization in charge of developing and releasing ISOs create a standard that consists of the Cybersecurity program implemented for defense contractors. CMMC stands for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, and it sets out every parameter and measure to ensure a high-level of cybersecurity hygiene in your company.
Or, at least, ensure your company has implemented some measures. The standard started to be a formal regulation in June 2020, which is why you will need to implement it and get certified as soon as possible. Now, it has a particular method of implementation and certification since it consists of 5 levels in total.
When you complete and meet the requirements of one, you can get certified at that specific level. Currently, reaching level 5 is almost impossible for companies and mostly unnecessary since it is for very specific contractors or businesses that need to implement extreme cybersecurity measures. Therefore, you only need to worry about implementing the first 2, 3, or 4 levels. Since this standard is new, understanding and implementing it is a lot of work and takes time.
