Are You Seeking CMMC Certification?

Summit Business Technologies can help you on your CMMC certification journey. For assessment preparation needs, Summit staff has a thorough understanding of the control requirements needed for compliance.

What is CMMC and what are CMMC preparation best practices?

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification or CMMC is a certification process that validates the requirements of NIST 800-171, which is a requirement that the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), contractors and subcontractors must comply with in order to do business with the DoD.

To achieve Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), an Organization Seeking Certification (OSC) must submit to an audit by a third-party assessor organization (C3PAO).  The C3PAO then submits the findings of the audit to the accreditation body who then confirms the C3PAOs findings and confirms the certification.  The OSCs CMMC certification is then listed on a searchable database, and the confirmed certification will determine what DoD contracts the firm is eligible to bid on. 

For more detailed information on CMMC, reach out to us or visit the CMMC website.

Our 3 Step Process for CMMC:

1. Readiness Assessment, SSP, & POAM

Assessing your existing system, we analyze your current environment and compare it to the control requirements of NIST 800-171. The result of this analysis would be a System Security Plan (SSP), Plan-of-Action and Milestones (POAM), and an SPRS score. 

2. Remediation

We build a remediation plan based off the POAM generated in the readiness assessment.  We review the plan with you and determine the next steps to address the deficiencies. The complexity of this process and the remediation actions varies depending on the deficiencies found in the POAM.

3. Ongoing Consulting

Finally, we regularly review changes in the requirements in the standard and address those with you.  We regularly update the compliance toolset to reflect changes made in the environment that are regulated by CMMC.  We assist in vetting new solutions that you may want to add to your environment to ensure that changes meet the regulation.  An annual readiness assessment is completed to ensure that compliancy is still being met.
