Who Does CMMC Apply to?

Any organization working within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) that creates, transmits, stores, or processes Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must adhere to CMMC requirements.

What is CUI?

Controlled Unclassified Information, or CUI, is sensitive yet unclassified data that is required to be protected via a government regulation. CUI can come in many forms including defense schematics, technical manuals, contract specifications, and export-controlled information.

When Does CMMC Go Into Effect?

The CMMC Final Rule was finalized in December of 2024, with audits beginning in January of 2025. CMMC will begin to appear in contracts toward the end of 2025 or beginning of 2026. 

What's the Difference Between NIST 800-171 and CMMC?

NIST 800-171 is a set of 110 controls that DoD contractors must adhere to. CMMC is the mechanism that the DoD will use to conduct third-party audits on organizations to ensure that CUI is protected. CMMC is founded on the controls of NIST 800-171.

What's the Difference Between CMMC, DFARS, and ITAR?
  • CMMC is the certification process in which contractors are required to prove their adherence to NIST 800-171 requirements.
  • DFARS is a set of regulations that mandates contractors comply with NIST 800-171.
  • ITAR regulates the export and import of defense-related articles and services.

What Level Are You?

The CMMC model is a way of assessing businesses ability to protect controlled unclassified information (CUI) and FCI by way of the NIST 800-171 framework. Depending on your contract, you may have to comply with any of the 3 levels that make up the CMMC model.

CorpInfoTech can assess, remediate, and manage any vulnerabilities that might get in the way of compliance. Whether you’re just starting out on your compliance journey or are in the process of making changes, CorpInfoTech is ready and willing to assist!
