With a spate of massive cybersecurity attacks rocking the healthcare industry in recent years, the federal government is searching for ways to strengthen cybersecurity maturity to better safeguard sensitive patient information.

Your choice of a certified third-party assessor organization (C3PAO) could have a significant effect on the future of your business. That's why it’s critical that you do your due diligence in selecting a provider to conduct your Level 2 assessment for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance.

As a Level 2 contractor or subcontractor within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), you’re well aware by now that you will likely need to get audited by an outside assessment company in order to achieve final CMMC certification.

Whether you're still in the planning stages of your CMMC compliance journey, or you've already started preparing, you're probably wondering what you can expect during your CMMC assessment when the time comes.

If you’ve already found and corrected security flaws through a CMMC gap analysis, your next move as a Department of Defense (DoD) contractor or subcontractor needing CMMC certification is the “prove it” stage.

Have you already identified your federal contract information (FCI) or controlled unclassified information (CUI) to establish a CUI boundary and determine your CMMC level?

With the risks of a cyber incident such as malware, ransomware, or data breach growing, the Department of Defense (DoD) created a new assessment mandate within the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program to increase the security of its supply chain.

Many businesses today are being whip-sawed by an onslaught of cyber incidents. Threat actors are using increasingly sophisticated maneuvers to slip into IT systems undetected to launch a potentially devastating cyberattack.
