Navigating CMMC 2.0 Compliance: A Guide for DoD Contractors

If you do business with the Department of Defense (DoD), Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance is not optional—it's a critical requirement that safeguards your future in the defense industry. With CMMC Level 2 requiring 110 control

s and 320 objectives, it's a significant undertaking.

Why CMMC Compliance Matters

CMMC compliance is essential for any contractor working with the DoD. It ensures that sensitive information is protected. In today's digital landscape, threats are everywhere. Cyberattacks can cripple your business and damage your reputation. By achieving CMMC compliance, you not only meet regulatory requirements but also enhance your cybersecurity posture. This builds trust with your clients and partners.

The 5-Step Process to CMMC Compliance

Partnering with CETech and Advanced Technical Solutions (ATS) ensures a clear, collaborative path to certification. Here is the 5-step process we recommend to guide your CMMC journey:

1. Read Your Contract

Your first step is to carefully review your current customer contracts. Determine if you have a deferred 7012 clause or a FAR 21 clause, as this dictates whether you need CMMC Level 1 or CMMC Level 2 certification.

2. Meet with Experts

Fill out the form below (or contact us) to meet with the CETech/ATS alliance. We will discuss where you are in the process and confirm the level of compliance required for your business.

3. Determine Your Gaps

Once we understand your requirements, we begin the process of identifying your compliance gaps. This includes policy and procedure documentation as well as any technical requirements needed to fulfill CMMC Level 2 compliance. ATS is key in this stage, defining the mission and dissecting every complex requirement.

4. Engage and Implement

At this stage, CETech launches the implementation and deploys sustainable technology. We ensure all the technical requirements are put in place and work to harden your defenses to keep you in compliance. We ensure you are not just compliant, but secure 24/7.

5. Find Your Auditor

After completing all the requirements for CMMC Level 2, it is time to find an official C3PAO auditor for your assessment. We will help you find a "C three people" organization to perform your assessment and provide you with your official certification.
