Defense contractors face the very real threat of losing business if they are noncompliant with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) standard. But what is it exactly, and what does compliance require?
Read this executive brief for a description of the CMMC and what’s changed under CMMC 2.0, a look at its three levels, and how DoD contractors can prepare.
