The University of Texas at AustinThe Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a mandatory cybersecurity standard for contractors working with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). It builds on NIST standards (specifically NIST 800-171 and NIST 800-172) to protect sensitive data within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). CMMC establishes different levels of cybersecurity maturity that contractors must meet. Unlike previous standards, CMMC requires independent third-party assessments conducted by Certified CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs).
A GRC Assessment Platform like Isora streamlines the CMMC certification process by enabling you to conduct comprehensive self-assessments across covered units, applications, assets handling CUI, and track the people involved in CMMC activities. Isora centralizes evidence, streamlines subcontractor compliance management, and provides an automated CMMC dashboard with progress tracking, SPRS score calculations, and a clear repository of evidence for C3PAO audits. Additionally, the platform allows you to track identified risks and work towards mitigation. Beyond CMMC, Isora becomes a central hub for measuring your organization’s overall security posture, simplifying ongoing compliance efforts.
