What is CMMC?

CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is a framework to ensure that controlled unclassified information (CUI) is protected by appropriate levels of cybersecurity practices and processes when it’s residing on federal contractors’ networks. CMMC applies to any federal contractor, including over 300,000 companies in the supply chain – such as small businesses, commercial item contractors and foreign suppliers.

Note: The development of CMMC 2.0 is currently in progress and will greatly simplify the framework to align with NIST 800-171 standards.

How Can Blumira Help With CMMC?

Blumira can help your organization easily meet and exceed CMMC (and NIST 800-171) requirements for logging, monitoring, threat detection and response.

By regularly running and scheduling Blumira’s pre-built CMMC compliance reports, you can prove your compliance to an auditor for certain controls.
