The Department of Defense (DoD) has recently released new CMMC 2.0 audit and assessment scoping guides. The awaited CMMC 2.0 Level 1 and Level 2 scoping guides provide insight into how a certified CMMC third-party assessor organization (C3PAO) may scope the CMMC audit and how businesses can potentially scope their own environments. These scoping guides are critical for the CMMC audit and boundary diagrams developed as part of your business’s System Security Plan (SSP).

Today we are going to discuss controls in the context of any variation of the NIST 800-53 and NIST 800-171 requirements. NIST SP 800-53 provides us with a fundamental understanding of how government and many commercial organizations structure control language.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is an emerging program created to ensure cyber protection of vulnerable Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for companies within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
Currently, only four companies are officially approved by the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Accreditation Body (CMMC-AB) as authorized C3PAOs, and just under 200 organizations are currently listed as C3PAO Candidates pending a CMMC Maturity Level 3 Assessment.
The emerging Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) will mandate nearly the entire federal government supply chain and over 300,000 contractors to get audited and certified against the CMMC protocol. The caveat is that some organizations that build Commercial-Off-The-Shelf items or Commercially Available Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products for the Department of Defense (DoD) do NOT require a CMMC certificate . However, the devil is in the details!
