What Is CMMC?

Department of Defense (DoD) contractors that need to be compliant with NIST 800-171 can no longer self-attest— they must be certified.

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requires a third-party assessor to prove compliance with all necessary controls. All Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors must comply with CMMC to be considered for bids on contracts.

Latitude helps you coordinate, monitor, and carefully control the compliance process. We identify gaps, remediate them, and provide audit support. Through our consistent, tried-and-true process, we empower you to protect sensitive data and continue your work with the DoD.

CMMC Ecosystem

CMMC requires DoD contractors to implement basic security controls. The Cyber AB administers the compliance program on behalf of the DoD. That means if you’re a vendor with the DIB and must be CMMC compliant, Cyber AB conducts the audit for the certification.

Latitude is a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO) with Cyber AB. We are certified to perform a gap assessment to identify areas of non-compliance within a program and help companies comply with CMMC to pass the audit. Our registered practitioners help you determine what you need to do to gain CMMC compliance.

What Does The Journey Look Like?

Companies must engage a CMMC RPO to figure out how to set up a program. While Latitude is not a CMMC assessor, we are a certified RPO, and our registered practitioners have years of experience conducting audits. We streamline your process for preparing for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification.

Latitude does the gap assessment, builds a compliance program, and then supports you through the compliance process with a Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization (also known as a C3PAO). With our efficient process and experienced team, we help you gain compliance within your budget and deadline.
