Frequently Asked Questions
What is CMMC and why do Durham contractors need it?
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is the DoD's required cybersecurity framework for contractors handling CUI or FCI. Durham contractors in the defense supply chain must achieve CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 to bid on and retain federal contracts.
How long does CMMC certification take?
Timeline varies based on your current security posture. Most Durham organizations complete the process in 3-9 months, including gap assessment, remediation, documentation, and C3PAO evaluation.
What is the difference between CMMC Level 1 and Level 2?
Level 1 requires 15 basic safeguarding practices for FCI with annual self-assessment. Level 2 requires all 110 NIST 800-171 controls for CUI with third-party C3PAO assessment every three years.
Do subcontractors in Durham need CMMC certification?
Yes. DFARS 252.204-7024 requires prime contractors to flow down CMMC requirements to subcontractors who handle CUI. Durham subcontractors must achieve the same CMMC level as the prime for CUI-related work.
