CMMC Self-Assessment Assistance: 30-Days Consulting Service

CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is a framework developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to assess and enhance the cybersecurity practices of organizations in the defense supply chain. The CMMC Self-Assessment Assistance is a process that helps organizations evaluate their compliance with the CMMC requirements on their own before seeking formal certification from a CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization.

Enhances Microsoft 365: By aligning cybersecurity practices with CMMC requirements, our service ensures organizations can securely manage Microsoft 365 environments, safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining compliance.

It's important to note that the CMMC Self-Assessment Assistance is not a formal certification, but rather a preparatory step to assess an organization's readiness for a formal CMMC assessment. The self-assessment helps organizations identify gaps, develop a remediation plan, and improve their cybersecurity practices to meet the CMMC requirements before engaging with a C3PAO for certification.
