Although performing a gap analysis is crucial to meet Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC 2.0) requirements, it is not the only essential requirement before your formal assessment.

Small business owners and leaders juggle everything from legal concerns to business planning, finance to production, marketing to customer service, hiring to technology.

If you’re a supplier or subcontractor within the Defense Industrial Business (DIB) supply chain, then you’ve undoubtedly heard a lot about CMMC 2.0 compliance and certification. But can you still win Department of Defense (DoD) contracts without getting certified?

According to a quick internet search, the average person has 100 passwords. (That may be why 23 million people resort to the overused and not so safe “123456” password.)

A gap analysis is critical for contractors and subcontractors within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) who need to become compliant with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0 regulation.

Colleges and universities that perform research and development services for the federal government related to national security and infrastructure must meet the same cybersecurity standards as commercial businesses within the U.S. Defense Industrial Base (DIB).

A rapidly shifting business climate and technology advances are putting increased pressure on small business owners. Those pressures can range from managing rising costs to talent shortages within IT and cybersecurity fields.

If you’re a contractor or subcontractor within the U.S. Defense Industrial Base (DIB), then you’re well aware of the cybersecurity requirements outlined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
