Understanding CMMC

What is the Cybersecurity Maturity Model of Certification?

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) response to compromises to defense information held or processed by their contractors.  It is a unified standard to better defend the vast attack surface of their supply chain, implement cybersecurity and better secure sensitive information located with their contractors.

CMMC Certification Levels

It establishes five certification levels each with a set of supporting practices and processes that range from Level 1 basic cybersecurity hygiene such as using antivirus software and changing employee passwords regularly to Level 5 standardized and optimized processes in place with sophisticated capabilities to detect and respond to Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs).

How is CMMC Structured?

The CMMC framework categorizes 173 cybersecurity best practices into 17 broad domains such as ‘Access Control” and “Systems and Communications Protection”.   These include 43 distinct capabilities such as remote system access and are mapped across the 5 cybersecurity certification levels.

This blog looks at FileFlex Enterprise and shows how it meets the published best “Access Control” practices for remote data access.
