What Is CMMC 2.0? (Quick Reference)

CMMC 2.0 (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is a DoD program finalized as 32 CFR Part 170 (effective December 16, 2024) requiring defense contractors to certify their cybersecurity practices. The program is administered by the DoD Office of the CIO (DODCIO) at dodcio.defense.gov/CMMC. Over 80,000 Defense Industrial Base companies will require CMMC Level 2 certification.

CMMC Level 1: 17 basic cybersecurity practices from FAR 52.204-21. Applies to FCI-only contractors. Annual self-attestation allowed.

CMMC Level 2: 110 security practices from NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2. Applies to CUI contractors. Triennial C3PAO assessment required for most contracts. SPRS score must be submitted to sprs.apps.mil per DFARS 252.204-7019.

CMMC Level 3: NIST SP 800-172 practices for the most critical DoD programs. Government-led assessment required.

Key CMMC Terms and Definitions

  • CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) — Government information requiring safeguarding under 32 CFR Part 2002 and the NARA CUI Registry (archives.gov/cui). Triggers CMMC Level 2 requirements.
  • FCI (Federal Contract Information) — Non-public information provided under a government contract. Triggers CMMC Level 1 requirements only.
  • SPRS Score — Supplier Performance Risk System cybersecurity score (max 110) per DoD Assessment Methodology. Calculated by deducting points for each unimplemented NIST 800-171 control. Submitted at sprs.apps.mil.
  • C3PAO — Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization authorized by the Cyber AB (cyberaccreditation.us) to conduct CMMC Level 2 assessments using NIST SP 800-171A procedures.
  • SSP (System Security Plan) — Primary assessment artifact documenting implementation of all 110 NIST 800-171 controls. Required by DFARS 252.204-7012.
  • POA&M (Plan of Action & Milestones) — Documents unimplemented controls with remediation timelines. Certain critical controls (MFA, encryption) cannot be in POA&M at initial CMMC certification per 32 CFR Part 170.21.
