What is CMMC?

US Department of Defense framework requiring defense contractors to implement cybersecurity practices and processes at progressive maturity levels to protect controlled unclassified information.

Who it applies to

Contractors and subcontractors in the defense industrial base handling federal contract information or controlled unclassified information. Flows down the supply chain, so smaller suppliers are pulled in by their primes.

How the standard is organised

Tiered levels of increasing rigour built on the NIST SP 800-171 requirements, with the assessment method — self-assessment or independent assessor — determined by the level.

Framework names, marks and abbreviations (ISO, SOC 2, PCI DSS, TISAX, HIPAA, GDPR and others) are trademarks of their respective standards bodies and are used here only to describe what the Bitkosh Compliance Management Platform helps you track and prepare for. The badges shown are original Bitkosh artwork, not the official marks. Bitkosh Technologies is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by ISO, AICPA, the PCI Security Standards Council, ENX/VDA, or any other framework owner, and using this platform does not by itself confer or guarantee certification — certification/attestation is granted only by the relevant accredited third-party body.

CMMC on the Bitkosh platform

The 136 CMMC controls sit in one workspace, evidence is collected from the systems you already run, and shared controls satisfy the equivalent requirement in the other 34 frameworks at the same time — so a second framework costs a fraction of the first.
