Earn the CMMC Certification You Need to Win DoD Contracts
Pratum is a CMMC-AB Registered Provider Organization™. Our experienced cybersecurity consultants guide organizations through the Department of Defense’s (DoD) new Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. If the DoD is ultimately your customer, you should start working now on your CMMC certification.
Anticipating CMMC’s launch in 2021, Pratum has been on the front edge of preparing clients to reach their CMMC goals. We are already working with firms on their readiness plans. Our deep experience with governing organizations means our consultants know the right questions to ask decision makers about your specific situation, better preparing you for a successful assessment.
Pratum’s work with the Federal Information Systems Management Act (FISMA), Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) and more positions us to help companies pursue CMMC certification as soon as the standards are finalized.
How CMMC Works
Beginning in 2021, the DoD will move toward requiring CMMC compliance for every vendor in its supply chain—300,000 companies when the process is complete. So whether your firm delivers completed fighter jets to the Pentagon or builds an electronic control inside those jets, your future contracts depend on earning your CMMC certification in the coming months.
Unlike previous DoD standards, you can’t certify yourself as compliant with CMMC. You’ll need to a retain a C3PAO to assess your organization. To make sure you pass that assessment, best practices suggest hiring a company to help you get ready. (The same company can not serve as both your consultant and assessor.)
Where to Start
- Allow yourself 6 months to complete CMMC certification
- Identify your desired Maturity Level to bid on DoD Contracts
- Engage a CMMC-AB registered provider organization for guidance and prep
