CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) | Resource Computer Solutions

If your business works with the Department of Defense, compliance isn’t a suggestion — and the timeline is shorter than most people realize.

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the DoD’s framework for ensuring that contractors and subcontractors handling sensitive federal information have the right security controls in place. Whether you’re a prime contractor or several tiers down the supply chain, if you touch Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), CMMC applies to you.

Getting there takes time. Getting caught unprepared costs contracts.
