For many government contractors, achieving Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance is a critical step in securing DoD contracts. But what often gets overlooked is the true cost of taking on CMMC compliance in-house.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) became part of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) in January 2020 and was later updated to CMMC 2.0 in November 2021.
