Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the method the US Government uses to audit compliance with NIST SP 800-171. Various government agencies, including the Department of Defense (DoD) contractors, need to meet these requirements. CMMC replaces the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), which was not widely adopted.
Conservative estimates reveal up to 300,000 organizations will be in the scope of CMMC. Many of those are not traditional defense contractors. Many potentially impacted organizations are due to third parties’ trickle-down effect that can affect the confidentiality of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) where it is stored, transmitted, or processed.
There are five levels of CMMC, and each has its own specific set of practices that will be in scope during a CMMC audit.
SecureCircle’s persistent data security and frictionless impact on users and applications allow SecureCircle to be applied to broad data segments rather than only securing the most critical data. Additionally, SecureCircle enables granular control and permissions for users, admins, groups, devices, applications, and networks. The combination of broad features and granular controls allow organizations to configure SecureCircle to meet security and compliance requirements.
