Seamless CMMC Certification

Achieve CMMC compliance with automated server hardening

cybersecurity maturity model

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) created the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) to improve the cybersecurity readiness of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). Key points include:

  • CMMC Audits and Certification: All prime contractors and subcontractors in the supply chain must undergo CMMC audits and obtain certification.
  • Impact on Supply Chain: Companies in the supply chain must make significant adjustments to meet CMMC requirements.
  • DoD’s Goal: The DoD implements CMMC to ensure a consistent level of cybersecurity preparedness across the DIB, protecting the federal government from emerging cyber threats.
    CMMC Levels: The CMMC model has three levels, each representing a higher standard of cyber hygiene.

3 CMMC Levels

The CMMC model consists of three levels, each representing a higher standard of cyber hygiene:

Level 1: Foundational Cyber Hygiene Standard

Level 2: Advanced Cyber Hygiene Standard

Level 3: Expert Practice

CMMC vs. NIST

The key difference between CMMC and NIST:

  • NIST 800-171: A set of guidelines developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help businesses protect their systems and data.
  • CMMC: A certification program developed by the DoD that ensures cybersecurity for contractors and outlines the pathway to achieving NIST compliance.

Automated Configuration

If your organization requires CMMC certification, we provide tailored configuration services to ensure full alignment with the NIST framework, streamlining your path to compliance. CalCom Hardening Suite (CHS) is an automated hardening solution that reduces operational costs and eliminates the risk of production downtime by indicating the impact of a security baseline change directly on the production environment.

Decrease Operational Expenses

CHS mitigates the risk of production interruptions by directly demonstrating the impact of security baseline adjustments in the production environment, eliminating the need to test changes in a lab environment first.

Enforce Security Policies

Implement security policies seamlessly without disrupting the production environment, reduce costs and resource allocation for secure configuration and compliance, oversee the entire infrastructure hardening process through a centralized control point, and prevent configuration drifts and the need for repeated hardening procedures.

CIS Compliance Q&A

What is CMMC compliance?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework established by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure contractors and their suppliers protect sensitive federal contract information (FCI) and controlled unclassified information (CUI). Compliance is mandatory for DoD contractors and critical for maintaining eligibility to bid on defense contracts.
Who needs to comply with CMMC?
Any organization within the DoD supply chain—including prime contractors and subcontractors—that handles FCI or CUI must comply with CMMC requirements. This includes service providers, software vendors, and IT partners supporting defense projects.
What are the levels of CMMC?
CMMC defines multiple maturity levels (from basic cyber hygiene to advanced practices) that reflect the depth of cybersecurity controls required. Organizations must certify at the level that matches the sensitivity of the data they manage.
Can CMMC compliance intergrate with other standards?
Yes. Many CMMC controls align with frameworks such as NIST 800-171, CIS Benchmarks, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
How does CalCom help with CMMC compliance?
CalCom’s automated server hardening and compliance solution enforces secure configurations aligned with CMMC practices, reduces vulnerabilities, and generates compliance reports. This helps organizations close security gaps quickly and prepare for certification audits with confidence.
