The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 is the most recent update to NIST SP 800-171. The CMMC establishes five certification levels that reflect the maturity and reliability of a company’s cybersecurity infrastructure to safeguard sensitive government information on contractors’ systems. The five levels are tiered and build upon each other’s technical requirements. Each level requires compliance with the lower-level requirements and institutionalization of additional processes to implement specific cybersecurity-based practices.
Columbia Advisory Group Security Practice is founded on the three pillars of an effective Information Security Program: Governance, Risk Management and Compliance while simultaneously educating our customers to prevent avoidable risks in the future.
Under CMMC, a contractor must be certified to be eligible to bid on, win or participate on a government contract. Without a valid Cyber Maturity Model Certification, the prime contract and/or any subcontractors will be ineligible to win or participate in United States Department of Defense contracts. Unlike previous requirements to be NIST SP 800-171 compliant, under CMMC the contractor can NOT self-certify.
Columbia Advisory Group’s Managed Cybersecurity program is based on the CMMC standard and accelerates your organizations ability to implement the necessary safeguards and comply with the CMMC 2.0 requirements without disrupting business continuity.
Columbia Advisory Group’s program provides DoD contractors with a consolidated way to manage all CMMC requirements.
