CMMC standard — Substantial part of your streams

Going for CCMC compliance? Then you need a right partner and a trusted third-party organization to help you with the CCMC compliance journey.

Before you take any action, you need to know about the CCMC standard;

The CCMC compliance standard has now become a pivotal requirement for all the businesses who are working for the US government. The reason behind is this will help the organization to be in compliant with the cyber security requirements to handle the data. This will also help you to process various cybersecurity standards and implementations.

Understanding the current level: If any high value of information is handled, then the CCMC standard will suggest you the ‘current’ level of maturity that is implied to the organization. This will be compared to the current scenario of the organizations’ cybersecurity initiative and the place where it stands in the industry.

What’s new?

A new version of the framework has been released by the federal government and this will come into effect by May 2023 and it will be active in contracts by July 2023.

What’s exciting in this framework?

The actual CCMC that is the cybersecurity maturity model certification were mandated to be implemented, monitored and certified in accordance to all the security parameters for the information that is stored on the systems. The threats that are coming up against the Defence Industrial Base (DIB) cybersecurity are also enhanced with this framework.

Advantages and comparison to make you understand between the CCMC 1.0 and CCMC 2.0:

In the CCMC first version, there are around 5 levels ranging from basic to advanced wherein 1 being the highest number. There are few practices and processes aligned with the CCMC versions, and for every level the number of practice and processes varies to the third-party assessments and not applicable in some cases.

In the current version of CCMC 2.0, there are only three levels as in foundational, advanced, and expert. Here also the number of processes changes and for the advanced and expert levels they are aligned with NIST. The assessments include annual assessments and the triannual third-party assessments (C3PAOs) that are conducted for critical national security information.

Features of CCMC 2.0 model:

• Streamlined model — With the widely accepted standards you can focus on the most critical requirements.
• Reliable assessments — The accountability will be increased with the decreased assessment costs.
• Flexible implementation — Added with flexibility, speed, and POA&Ms

Let’s now have a deep insight into the changes that are introduced particularly for the newer version of CCMC:

In the maturity model, the compliance levels are reduced from levels 5 to 3. There are improved alignments with the national institute of standards and technology (NIST). There are some specific levels and amongst which the organizations need to comply their standards accordingly. The CCMC standards and the assessment requirement frequency changes every year and for 3 years as well.
