The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Advisory Board (CMMC AB) made a major announcement on September 16, 2020, announcing that it has trained an initial group of provisional assessors. The CMMC establishes cybersecurity controls for certification of government contractors from Level 1, the basic set of controls that all government contractors to DoD must meet, to the highest Level 5, controls that contractors with Controlled Unclassified Information facing the need for security to address Advanced Persistent Threats must meet.
