Compliance Standards

If your business works with the Department of Defense (DoD) or operates within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), you’ve likely heard about CMMC certification. But understanding how to navigate CMMC 2.0—especially Level 2 assessments—requires working with a special kind of partner: a C3PAO. So, what exactly is a C3PAO, and why does it matter for your compliance journey?

Companies that want to work with the Department of Defense (DoD) must meet high cybersecurity standards to safeguard sensitive government data. As part of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), these companies are subject to rigorous compliance frameworks—including the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) —and must prioritize CMMC readiness early in the process.

A CMMC gap assessment is the first step toward winning and keeping Department of Defense (DoD) contracts. It’s not just about passing an audit; it’s about proving your organization can safeguard the sensitive data that supports national security.

This proactive diagnostic identifies how closely your current cybersecurity posture aligns with the CMMC 2.0 framework and pinpoints the changes needed before you certify.

To achieve CMMC Level 3 certification, Department of Defense (DoD) contractors must meet strict cybersecurity requirements, especially in the area of System and Communications Protection (SC).

If your organization contracts with the U.S. military, or plans to compete for these high-value contracts, you must achieve CMMC Level 3 compliance. This is the highest level of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, designed for organizations that handle large amounts of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

Achieving CMMC Level 3 compliance ensures your organization meets strict cybersecurity standards required by the Department of Defense. It starts with understanding which requirements apply to your operations and how to implement them effectively.
