CMMC Compliance Audits

Home / Compliance Audits / CMMC Compliance Audits

New CMMC Requirements Included in all DOD Contracts by FY 2026

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework was developed by the DoD to enforce protection of Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) throughout its supply chain. DoD contracts must include the certification requirement by FY 2026. 

Contractors are required to achieve, at the time of award, a CMMC certificate at the level specified within the solicitation and therefore must receive a CMMC audit from a CMMC-certified third-party organization. Solicitations with a required CMMC maturity level are expected to be released as early as June 2020. 

Man working on a Compliance Audit for cyber security The Office of Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)) will be launching the regulation in an effort to improve cybersecurity across several maturity levels to minimize the risk of cyber threats and breaches.

The CMMC’s five compliance maturity levels range from Basic Cybersecurity Hygiene (Level 1) to Advanced Cybersecurity Practices (Level 5). Every organization that plans on renewing a DoD current contract or bidding on a new contract in the future will need to be certified at one of the following 5 maturity levels:

  • Level 1: Basic cybersecurity achievable for small companies, subset of universally accepted common practices.
  • Level 2: Includes universally accepted cybersecurity best practices, resilient against unskilled threat actors.
  • Level 3: Includes all NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 controls plus additional practices for CUI handling and management. Controls are meant to provide resilience against moderately skilled threat actors.
  • Level 4: Advanced and sophisticated cybersecurity practices, defensive responses approach machine speed, resilient against advanced threat actors, complete and continuous knowledge of cyber assets.
  • Level 5: Highly advanced cybersecurity practices reserved for the most critical systems, resilient against the most advanced threat actors, defensive responses performed at machine speed, machine-performed analytics and defensive actions, autonomous knowledge of cyber assets.
