CMMC

You reduce CUI exposure and assessment scope by segmenting the enclave and enforcing a clear, monitored boundary that you can prove to an assessor.

FedRAMP authorization or equivalency for a cloud service does not create CMMC reciprocity for a contractor, but the FedRAMP body of evidence can support CMMC Level 2 assessments when you scope it and map it to NIST SP 800-171 objectives.

CMMC Level 2 expects you to define the CUI system boundary and enforce it with managed interfaces at external and key internal network points across on-premises and cloud environments.

CMMC Level 2 assessors expect complete audit coverage across your CUI boundary, so identify, collect, protect, retain, and review logs from identity, endpoints, networks, applications, cloud services, and security tools in line with NIST SP 800-171 AU controls.

DoD assigns self-assessments and third-party assessments by level and by solicitation, and contractors need to align their approach to the rule, the DFARS clause, and the data in scope.

CMMC limits POA&Ms to Levels 2 and 3 and requires remediation and a recorded closeout assessment within 180 days of the Conditional CMMC Status Date.
