CMMC 2.0 Framework
Three Levels
- Level 1 — Foundational: 17 practices from FAR 52.204-21 (FCI protection). Annual self-assessment. All DoD contractors handling FCI.
- Level 2 — Advanced: 110 practices from NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 (CUI protection). Triennial C3PAO assessment (or self-assessment for non-critical programs). Contractors handling CUI on critical programs.
- Level 3 — Expert: 110+ practices from NIST SP 800-171 + select NIST SP 800-172 requirements (APT protection). DIBCAC-led government assessment. Contractors on highest-priority DoD programs.
17 CMMC Domains
AC (Access Control) · AT (Awareness & Training) · AU (Audit & Accountability) · CM (Configuration Management) · IA (Identification & Authentication) · IR (Incident Response) · MA (Maintenance) · MP (Media Protection) · PE (Physical Protection) · PS (Personnel Security) · RA (Risk Assessment) · CA (Security Assessment) · SC (System & Communications Protection) · SI (System & Information Integrity) · AM (Asset Management — L2) · BE (Business Environment — L2) · GV (Governance — L2)
Core Workflows
1. Gap Assessment
When performing a gap assessment:
- Confirm the CMMC level required by the contract (check DFARS clause — 7019 = Level 1, 7020 = Level 2 self, 7021 = Level 2/3 C3PAO)
