What is CMMC 2.0?

CMMC 2.0 (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is the DoD's framework for assessing contractor cybersecurity practices. It replaces CMMC 1.0 with two maturity levels:

  • Level 1: Basic cyber hygiene (14 NIST 800-171 practices)
  • Level 2: Intermediate security practices (110 NIST 800-171 practices)

Assessment Timeline

  1. Gap analysis: 2-4 weeks
  2. Evidence collection: 4-8 weeks
  3. System Security Plan (SSP) development: 2-3 weeks
  4. Third-party assessment: 1-2 weeks

Key Controls to Implement

  • Access control and multi-factor authentication
  • Data protection and encryption
  • Incident response procedures
  • Security awareness training
  • Audit and accountability logging

Cost Considerations

  • Level 1: $5,000 - $15,000
  • Level 2: $15,000 - $50,000+

Costs depend on current state, organization size, and complexity.
