Overcoming the CMMC Readiness Chasm

A CMMC Guide for the DIB

Over the past few years, Redspin has observed a noticeable trend among Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors. Many of them do not have a comprehensive, common understanding of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, its background, and the key players involved.

This guide aims to provide clarity to the DIB space by covering:

• The history of the CMMC initiative, its purpose, and its significance in safeguarding information
• The relevant regulations that apply to DIB contractors and their subcontractors
• Explanation of key acronyms within the CMMC ecosystem and their meanings

Consider this your quick reference to help you, and all DIB contractors identify the next steps in your CMMC journey.
