Protecting Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) that resides on supplier networks is an important step in reducing risk to National Security. The Department of Defense created the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) to raise the level of information security across the entire Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and better protect our nation's critical information.
Carahsoft and our partners have assembled products and services to help the defense community address the processes and practices of CMMC.
Carahsoft and our partners have assembled products and services to help the defense community address the processes and practices of CMMC. We have organized those products and services by both CMMC Capability Domain and by technology vendor. To get started, select a CMMC Domain or Technology Vendor on the left hand side.
CMMC is the cybersecurity framework used by the DOD to measure their suppliers' cybersecurity maturity and ensure protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) residing on contractor networks. CMMC organizes cybersecurity processes and best practices into a set of 14 capability domains across 3 maturity tiers. The 3 Maturity Levels of the CMMC Framework are summarized below:
Given the range of information sensitivity by contract, the maturity level required will be determined at the individual contract level. The maturity model is cumulative so that each successive level consists of the practices and processes specified in the preceding level as well as additional controls.
Within the 3 maturity levels of CMMC, the 14 capability domains are derived from the basic safeguarding requirements in FAR Clause 52.204-21, NIST Special Publication 800-171, and NIST Special Publication 800-172. Each domain is comprised of a set of controls that designate a range of cybersecurity and mitigation activities.
The CMMC framework includes an assessment requirement that verifies the execution of the practices by maturity level and standardizes implementation across the DIB. CMMC assessments are carried out through one of three methods depending on maturity level: self-assessment, third party assessment by CMMC Accreditation Body (CMMC-AB) certified assessor, or government assessment.

Organizations of all sizes in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) are preparing to comply with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0. Mobile device security is a critical topic of discussion among those in the DIB who are assessing and strategizing how to address existing endpoint security. In particular, there are specific requirements around incorporating mobile device usage restrictions, scanning a device for software updates and patches, and conducting operating system (OS) integrity checks within their current cybersecurity mix.
