Security News > 2021 > March > Preparing for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification onslaught

For the Defense Industrial Base, the Department of Defense Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification compliance requirement is the hot news topic of 2021.

The short story is that CMMC offers the first federal compliance requirement that looks to create clear cybersecurity standards.

CMMC pulls from all of these, creating a single set of requirements that every DIB member can use to prove its cybersecurity posture.

Companies need to step up their own cybersecurity maturity, but they also need to get their supply chain to mature its cybersecurity.

The biggest problem CMMC causes for organizations contracting with government agencies who look to adopt CMMC as a common cybersecurity maturity standard is their supply stream.

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification is here to stay, and with it, DIB members need to get ready as fast as possible.
