CMMC 2.0 Level 1 Framework

We are pleased to announce the integration of support for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 Level 1 framework in Scrut.

CMMC 2.0 is a framework developed by the US Department of Defense (DoD) to enhance cybersecurity practices in the defense industrial base (DIB) by mandating third-party audits. The CMMC 2.0 Level 1 framework is the foundational level, and it includes basic cybersecurity practices such as access control, risk management, and incident response. Given below are some key features of CMMC 2.0 Level 1.

• Simplified Compliance: Scrut streamlines the CMMC compliance process by allowing organizations to assess certain requirements through self-assessment.

• Protection of DoD Information: Scrut helps organizations align their practices with the CMMC 2.0 Level 1 framework to protect DoD information.

• Industry Collaboration: Scrut provides the necessary tools to facilitate collaboration between organizations and the DoD.

Why is CMMC 2.0 Level 1 Compliance Significant?

• Protection of Sensitive Information: CMMC 2.0 Level 1 compliance ensures that organizations safeguard sensitive and controlled unclassified information shared with the DoD.

• Strengthening National Defense: CMMC 2.0 Level 1 compliance contributes to enhancing national defense by improving cybersecurity practices in the DIB.

• Consequences of Non-Compliance: Failure to comply with CMMC 2.0 Level 1 can lead to financial losses, heightened cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and potential fines.

• Broad Applicability: CMMC 2.0 Level 1 compliance is relevant to prime contractors, subcontractors, and businesses involved in projects related to the DoD.
