Join us on June 18th for the Odyssey All Hands 3RD Thursday!
This month’s event will feature IT’s Bobby King presenting on Odyssey’s ongoing Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). CMMC is the framework that aims to ensure that IT systems used by contractors of the United States Department of Defense (DoD) are compliant with mandatory IT security requirements.
A few key points about CMMC:
- CMMC verifies compliance with security requirements.
- CMMC strengthens accountability for prime contractors to ensure security across their supply chain.
- CMMC provides assurance that contractors and subcontractors meet DoD’s cybersecurity requirements.
- CMMC establishes a unified standard for assessing and enhancing cybersecurity posture.
