Securing the Cloud with CMMC

Amid increasingly complex and sophisticated cyberattacks, the Department of Defense is taking every necessary step to ensure their cybersecurity postures are effective and up-to-date. Internally, they have instituted solutions like Comply-to-Connect (C2C), a comprehensive framework designed to increase cybersecurity efficiency across all DoD’s operational environments. But they are also extending these rigorous standards to outside organizations.

In order to ensure their numerous industry partners are equipped with the necessary security protocols, the DoD implemented Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) — compliance requirements that allow the department to determine whether a potential partner has the framework necessary to work with vulnerable and controlled data.
