What is CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a program introduced by the Department of Defense (DoD) that will serve as a framework to enforce Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirement.
Achieving CMMC compliance can cost organizations a lot of time and money. On top of it all, it can be a big lift and many DoD contractors are not sure where to start. Lucky for you, if you are a DoD contractor looking for CMMC help that is easy & affordable, you’ve landed yourself on the right page. Bravo Has Your Back!

Why is CMMC important?
As the number of data breaches continue to rise, it is crucial that we increase our efforts to keep our most sensitive information safe and secure. By improving the security of sensitive data within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), this will effectively minimize the risk of losing some of our country’s most critical and valuable information. As a result, we will be able to maintain an overall stronger national security. The purpose of CMMC is not only to assess a firm’s security posture, but also to protect controlled unclassified information (CUI), federal contact information (FCI), and critical national security information.
Who does CMMC impact?
Any entity that does business with the DoD will need to be CMMC compliant. This includes all prime and subcontractors.

What is CMMC 2.0?
The Department of Defense (DoD) has announced an update to the CMMC model – CMMC 2.0. CMMC 2.0 was developed to make CMMC more affordable, more trustworthy, and align cybersecurity requirements with other federal requirements and widely accepted standards. The primary change that has been made in this update is the overall structure of the model (see updated model below). This new model is currently under public review, and the entire rulemaking process of CMMC 2.0 will take between 9 to 24 months. Until this process is completed, all CMMC requirements are on hold.
In the meantime, Bravo recommends that you focus on following NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS, which is the core of the new model, in order to improve your overall cybersecurity posture.

CMMC 2.0 was created to make CMMC more affordable, more trustworthy, and align cybersecurity requirements with other federal requirements and widely accepted standards. To learn more about how the structure has changed, click here. (Link to CMMC 2.0: What You Need to Know blog)
NIST SP 800-171 is the current requirement for contracts under DFARS. Once CMMC 2.0 starts to roll out, it will gradually start replacing the requirements in these contracts. If you take a look at CMMC level 2, all of the NIST SP 800-171 controls are actually included in the requirements. In other words, NIST SP 800-171 will be incorporated into CMMC requirements.
Yes… All organizations who work with the Department of Defense (DoD) will be required to be CMMC compliant (including subcontractors).
This answer depends on the level of certification that you are required to maintain. Level 1 of CMMC 2.0 requires an annual self-assessment, while Levels 2 (in most cases) and 3 will require a third-party assessment every 3 years.
This time frame depends on the level of compliance you are required to achieve, your status as it relates to your NIST SP 800-171 implementation, and of course, the scope/size of your organization.
