Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification is a requirement for organizations that work with the Department of Defense or operate within the Defense Industrial Base. CMMC exists to ensure that suppliers properly protect Federal Contract Information and Controlled Unclassified Information.
NetX IT Solutions helps organizations across Ohio, including Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, and surrounding regions, prepare for CMMC compliance through structured assessments, remediation planning, and security implementation.
CMMC replaces the self-attestation model previously used under DFARS requirements. Instead of declaring compliance, organizations must now demonstrate compliance through third-party certification.
CMMC is built on existing standards such as:
