CMMC Checklist

Organizations partnering with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) must implement robust cybersecurity measures to protect the sensitive information they handle. Achieving Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is essential to qualify for DoD contracts. As of November 2021, CMMC 2.0, overseen by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)), is the active standard.

Your required certification level—Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3—depends on the volume and sensitivity of the data managed. It involves adhering to security controls based on NIST frameworks, with assessments often performed by third-party organizations.

Achieving CMMC compliance is critical to DoD security and U.S. interests, but the process can be complex.

Tereta’s CMMC Checklist simplifies the compliance journey, equipping you with the tools to work toward preferred contractor status with the DoD.
