The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework designed to certify an organization’s cybersecurity capabilities in order to work with the United States Department of Defense (DoD). CMMC is essential for any business or organization that works with sensitive information as it creates a standardized set of cybersecurity practices. With CMMC, the certification model has been refined and expanded upon to provide a more comprehensive approach to cybersecurity. However, with this update comes certain implications for small businesses that may result in challenges when complying with and financing these regulations.
CMMC and Small Business
As CMMC becomes the new cybersecurity standard, there are a few items that any small business working with DoD contracts should be aware of.
How Small Businesses can Overcome the Challenges
Although these challenges can be significant for a small business, it is possible to take steps to better navigate the impact of CMMC effectively.
Ensure Your Small Business is Compliant with CMMC
Although CMMC is aimed at strengthening cybersecurity within organizations working with the DoD, it does present unique challenges for small businesses. From compliance costs and resource constraints to technological upgrades and training requirements, there are a number of hurdles that can make compliance feel unattainable. However, with careful planning, prioritization, collaboration, and leveraging available resources, small businesses can navigate the impact of CMMC successfully. Small businesses that invest in cybersecurity and adapt to the evolving threat landscape will be better able to protect sensitive information, build trust with the DoD, and enhance overall cybersecurity resilience.
As a small business, you can’t risk non-compliance with CMMC requirements or losing DoD contracts. Contact SSE today to schedule an initial consultation and let us help you navigate the complexities of CMMC compliance for your businesses.
