What is CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure a secure and safe environment for defense contractors. The CMMC is a five-level certification system that requires contractors to adhere to the cybersecurity best practices in order to protect sensitive government information. Microsoft Federal recently completed a voluntary CMMC assessment, making it the first cloud provider to do so.

* Improved security posture, as the CMMC certification process helps organizations identify and address security weaknesses
* Reduced risk of a data breach or cyber attack
* Increased confidence in the security of the organization’s data and systems
* A competitive edge in the market, as CMMC certification is becoming an increasingly important factor when selecting a service provider
