Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Compliance

Let's Talk

Minimize risk and maintain compliance with CMMC certification.

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance is now a business requirement, not just a cybersecurity requirement. Organizations that cannot demonstrate compliance may lose eligibility for Department of War contracts, creating significant revenue and growth risks.

Built on standards like DFARS and NIST 800-171, CMMC protects Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) across the defense supply chain. For contractors and subcontractors, it is essential for competitiveness, resilience, and the ability to win and retain government work.


How We Help

Eide Bailly is a strategic partner that helps defense contractors assess their current cybersecurity posture, identify gaps, and build a practical roadmap toward readiness. From discovery activities such as inventorying systems and mapping sensitive data flows to preparing assessments and strengthening internal controls, organizations need guidance that connects technical requirements with business priorities.

Our risk and advisory professionals show how proactive CMMC preparation supports compliance, reduces risk, and protects long-term growth in the defense marketplace.

Our services help across a variety of CMMC maturity levels, including:

  • Level 1: Applicable organizations working with FCI only. These organizations must focus on basic cyber hygiene and adhere to the practices outlined in FAR52.204-21.
  • Level 2: Designed for organizations handling CUI. These organizations must comply with the 100 security practices and 320 assessment objectives specified in NIST 800-171.
  • Level 3: Reserved for organizations handling CUI and exposed to Advanced Persistent Threats. These organizations must demonstrate advanced cybersecurity capabilities in line with NIST 800-172.
