The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the Department of Defense's (DoD) newest vendor certification program designed to ensure that cybersecurity controls and processes adequately protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) that resides on Defense Industrial Base (DIB) systems and networks. When fully operational, the CMMC will be mandatory for all entities doing business with the DoD at any level.

This month, Abacode's SVP, Brian Graf, will be joining us to review the following aspects of CMMC:

What is cmmc?
Who is required to comply?
NIST 800-53 / 171 controls overview

He will also introduce components in the CMMC compliance roadmap, including:

Assess - risk assessment, vulnerability assessment
Design - policy, procedure, IR / BCDR plans
Implement - training, secure configuration, monitoring, internal audit
Monitor - continuous compliance and security control validation

Bryan will close with a discussion of fees related to CMMC, timelines, and required technologies for certification.
