# CMMC

## CMMC

### Meet CMMC standards required for all U.S. Federal DoD Contractors

Self-attest CMMC 1 or pre-assess CMMC 3 with FortMesa’s self-driving security plans.

### What is CMMC?

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program is tailored to meet the Department of Defense’s information security standards for Defense Industrial Base (DIB) partners. Its purpose is to ensure the protection of sensitive unclassified information exchanged between the Department and its contractors and subcontractors.

### Why CMMC Compliance

If you sell to the DoD — directly or as a subcontractor — CMMC certification is required to win and keep contracts.

### Bullets

- Required for prime and subcontract DoD awards
- Aligns with NIST SP 800-171 and 800-172
- Continuous monitoring keeps you assessment-ready

Strengthen Defense Partnerships with CMMC Compliance
