Frequently Asked Questions
What is CMMC and why do Cary contractors need it?
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is the DoD's required cybersecurity framework for contractors handling CUI or FCI. Cary contractors in the defense supply chain must achieve CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 to bid on and retain federal contracts.
How long does CMMC certification take?
Timeline varies based on your current security posture. Most Cary organizations complete the process in 3-9 months, including gap assessment, remediation, documentation, and C3PAO evaluation.
What is the difference between CMMC Level 1 and Level 2?
Level 1 requires 15 basic safeguarding practices for FCI with annual self-assessment. Level 2 requires all 110 NIST 800-171 controls for CUI with third-party C3PAO assessment every three years.
Do subcontractors in Cary need CMMC certification?
Yes. DFARS 252.204-7024 requires prime contractors to flow down CMMC requirements to subcontractors who handle CUI. Cary subcontractors must achieve the same CMMC level as the prime for CUI-related work.
