The Department of Defense (DoD) is one of the biggest expenses for the U.S. government, garnering a whopping $1.9 trillion budget<\/a> for 2023. And the Defense Industrial Base Sector<\/a> that supports these efforts comprises over 100,000 companies and subcontractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unsurprisingly with such staggering numbers on the line, the DoD\u2019s subcontractors are required to meet stringent compliance requirements, known as the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)<\/a>. CMMC encompasses multiple maturity levels, ranging from \u201cFoundational\u201d to \u201cExpert.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
