Prepare for CMMC compliance with expert guidance. Explore Level 1–3 requirements, readiness and gap assessments, roles of C3PAOs, and timelines to secure Department of Defense contracts before 2026.
For organizations facing regulatory compliance requirements from several industries, it can be difficult to understand where to start. Luckily, there’s a one-size-fits-all solution available in HITRUST CSF certification.
Finding the right CMMC consultant for your organization involves four key steps. First, determine whether and when you need CMMC certification. Next, identify the CMMC Level and requirements that apply to your contracts. From there, assess your current compliance posture with a gap assessment. Finally, compare CMMC consulting services to select the provider best suited to guide your organization to certification.
CMMC Certification will soon be a requirement for nearly all Department of Defense (DoD) contractors. For many organizations, achieving compliance may feel overwhelming. A practical way to streamline the process is through control mapping aligning existing security controls from other frameworks you already follow with CMMC requirements.

To work with the US government, organizations need to implement NIST frameworks like the CSF. NIST SP 800-53 maps CSF principles into executable controls, which then translate into requirements in other frameworks, like SP 800-171, that are required for specific contracts.
The Department of Defense (DoD) requires all military personnel, contractors, and anyone handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) to complete DoD mandatory CUI training. This training ensures staff understand CUI marking requirements, decontrol procedures, and reporting protocols, helping protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.
Unsure if your DoD mandatory CUI training meets compliance standards? Schedule a consultation with our experts to review your program today.
Organizations that work with US government agencies have to follow various NIST frameworks to secure sensitive data. NIST incident response is spelled out in NIST SP 800-61, which also informs incident response protocols in other NIST frameworks needed for DoD compliance.
Any organization that works with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) must prove it can protect sensitive information by achieving DoD compliance. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the framework the DoD uses to measure and enforce that compliance.
Preparing for DoD compliance involves understanding the CMMC framework, determining the certification level your organization needs, and implementing the required security controls before assessment.

Working with the US Department of Defense (DoD) is an attractive opportunity for contractors in various industries. There is honor in working with the largest, most powerful military, and achieving “preferred contractor” status can also be lucrative. That said, it’s not easy to achieve this status. You’ll need to be compliant with regulatory frameworks and keep abreast of every update published by the DoD, such as the most recent one on how to safeguard CUI or controlled unclassified information.
Organizations that work closely with the US government need to take special precautions to safeguard data that government agencies deem sensitive. One of the most common kinds of data that needs protecting is Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). And CUI Specified is some of the most tightly regulated CUI. So, what is CUI Specified, and how can you secure it?
For Department of Defense (DoD) entities and contractors, annual information awareness training is essential to minimizing information security risks to the critical infrastructure they handle. Unaddressed threats to sensitive data within critical infrastructure could significantly impact national security. Read on to learn more.
