CMMC Compliance Solutions
The Department of Defense (DoD) requires contractors and subcontractors to meet strict cybersecurity standards under the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). Axio Networks helps businesses in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and throughout the Valley prepare for and maintain CMMC compliance with expert consulting and proactive IT security services.
What is CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a unified cybersecurity standard required by the U.S. Department of Defense for all organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) within the defense supply chain. CMMC is designed to protect sensitive federal contract information from cyber threats by enforcing tiered levels of cybersecurity maturity.
Who Needs to Comply with CMMC?
Any organization that bids on or supports U.S. Department of Defense contracts—whether as a prime contractor or subcontractor—must comply with CMMC. This includes:
Defense contractors and subcontractors
IT service providers supporting DoD projects
Manufacturers handling CUI or FCI
Consultants and suppliers within the defense industrial base (DIB)
CMMC Compliance Levels
CMMC includes three primary levels of cybersecurity maturity:
Level 1 (Foundational)
Basic safeguarding of Federal Contract Information (FCI)
Level 2 (Advanced)
Aligned with NIST 800-171; required for most organizations handling CUI
Level 3 (Expert)
Focused on reducing advanced persistent threats (APTs); required for the highest-risk projects
Most small and medium-sized contractors will be required to meet Level 2.
