About CMMC

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a unified cybersecurity standard for future Department of Defense (DoD) acquisitions. It is designed to provide increased assurance that a DIB contractor can adequately protect controlled unclassified information (CUI) at a level commensurate with the risk.

The Edwards Team

Edwards Performance Solutions is the first organization that can fully support the entire CMMC Ecosystem. As an RPO and a C3PAO, we have the capability and expertise to assist with every step of the CMMC journey, from initial consulting and gap assessments to formal Level 2 assessments.

Impact on DoD Contractors

CMMC is a game-changer for DoD contractors. It will be included in select DoD Requests for Information (RFIs) and Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and will affect every DoD contractor and subcontractor. Failure to achieve CMMC can result in not being awarded DoD contracts.

Selecting a C3PAO

When selecting a C3PAO, it’s important to consider the organization’s credibility, technical expertise, and track record. C3PAOs must demonstrate their ability to protect your sensitive information while providing accurate and reliable assessments. Always look for a C3PAO that has the experience and credentials to support your cybersecurity needs.

Edwards and the CMMC Ecosystem
