Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)

Gain a competitive advantage for federal contracts through cybersecurity certification

Overview

Government contractors need to comply with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) released by the Department of Defense (DoD).

For a given CMMC level, the associated controls and processes, when implemented, can reduce risk against a specific set of cyber threats. As the number of contracts with these certification requirements increases, U.S. government contractors should plan, design and implement their cybersecurity strategy for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

The BDO Government Contracting practice has the knowledge and experience to help defense contractors meet CMMC-level requirements. As a CMMC Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO), BDO has built a cybersecurity compliance team that possesses a deep bench of advanced degrees in cybersecurity and information assurance, combined with over 30 years of experience supporting DoD programs in information technology, information assurance and cybersecurity. The team includes CMMC-certified Registered Practitioners with cybersecurity industry certifications, such as EC-Council, ISACA, CompTIA, (ISC)2 and GIAC certified cybersecurity professionals.
