Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0
CMMC 2.0 sets the standard for cybersecurity in the U.S. defense sector. It’s built by the Department of Defense to make sure contractors take cybersecurity seriously. This framework isn’t optional, it’s essential. It protects sensitive, unclassified data shared during contracts. That data can’t afford to leak. INTERCERT is a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO), recognized by CyberAB. It is the official body behind CMMC. The goal is to secure the supply chain, strengthen national defense and one control at a time.
What is CMMC 2.0?
CMMC 2.0 simplifies the previous five-tier structure into a streamlined three-tier model to make compliance more accessible and understandable. The levels are:
- Level 1: Foundational - Safeguards Federal Contract Information (FCI)
- Level 2: Advanced - Protects Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
- Level 3: Expert - Provides enhanced protection for CUI
