At Right Hand, we understand what it takes to assess and prepare
a manufacturer for a successful CMMC audit. We are CompTIA Trustmark+ certified,
and have been ranked as one of the Top Managed Service Providers in the world.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a comprehensive framework designed by the Department of Defense (DoD) to safeguard sensitive information within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). If your company handles Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), CMMC compliance is not just beneficial-it’s mandatory. Compliance with the CMMC ensures your organization is protecting sensitive data in line with DoD requirements. Non-compliance can result in lost contracts, diminished trust, and even legal consequences.
For manufacturers involved in DoD supply chains, CMMC is more than just a requirement; it’s a competitive advantage. Achieving compliance signals that your company is secure, reliable, and ready to meet the stringent demands of government contracts. Beyond the DoD, many prime contractors now require CMMC certification from their partners, making it essential for maintaining and growing your business relationships. Don’t let non-compliance put your contracts-and reputation-at risk.
Identify where your organization currently stands in relation to CMMC requirements.
Develop a tailored plan to close gaps and strengthen your cybersecurity framework, working hands-on with your team to ensure all controls are implemented effectively.
Conduct internal assessments to prepare your organization for the official audit and avoid surprises.
Receive continuous guidance to maintain your CMMC status and be prepared for future audits as CMMC standards evolve.
The level of the CMMC certificate is dependent upon the type and nature of information that flows down from your
prime contractor. There are three levels of CMMC that range from basic cybersecurity hygiene to
advanced/progressive cybersecurity hygiene. Each level has its own set of controls observed in a CMMC audit. The
three levels of CMMC best practices are:
January 2025: Full CMMC 2.0 implementation is expected across all DoD contracts. By this date, contractors handling FCI or CUI must meet the appropriate CMMC level to maintain or win new contracts.
Mid-2024: The DoD is anticipated to begin including CMMC requirements in new Requests for Information (RFIs) and Requests for Proposals (RFPs), meaning contractors need to demonstrate compliance readiness soon.
End of 2024: Companies seeking to compete for significant contracts should aim to have their CMMC Level 1 or Level 3 certification in place by year-end to avoid disruptions in bidding opportunities.
These deadlines are approaching quickly, and achieving compliance can take several months, depending on your current cybersecurity posture. Acting now is essential to avoid missed opportunities or contract delays.
