The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework is a set of cybersecurity standards developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure that contractors and subcontractors properly protect sensitive government informationOrganizations working with the federal government are required to meet specific CMMC levels based on the nature of their work, making it an essential part of doing business in the defense sector. While your organization may not hold federal contracts, the framework is a valuable benchmark for any organization looking to strengthen its cybersecurity posture. CMMC outlines three levels of maturity, and Hacking for Good can help run you through the Level 1 basic self-assessment that helps organizations understand their current security practices and identify areas for improvement. By adopting CMMC principles, businesses can reduce their risk of cyberattacks, improve resilience, and align with industry best practices.
