I often joke that the letters in CMMC stand for Confusing and Misunderstood.

It's OK to be confused because the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) has resulted in a brand new assessment ecosystem that created its own language and acronyms. It's hard to figure out the action steps you must take to meet the CMMC requirements.

There are great benefits in implementing CMMC now.

• You could earn millions of dollars in profits if you pass a CMMC assessment.
• All your sensitive business and employee data, not just defense-related data, will be better protected. 
• The faster you implement CMMC, the higher the chances are that you can displace your competition who won't be ready.

Or you could lose millions of dollars if you fail a CMMC assessment.

Senior executives will be required to sign annual attestations validating their organizations' cybersecurity implementation and may be held personally responsible if cybersecurity is misrepresented.

Misrepresenting your actual level of cybersecurity - even before CMMC takes effect - can result in painful federal False Claims Act penalties - paying back three times what the government paid you and being banned from future contracts.

I've reached the highest level of the CMMC ecosystem - CMMC Certified Assessor - and wrote a free guide for you to keep nearby as you travel on your CMMC journey.
