From preparation to compliance, our team provides the expertise needed to address challenges, implement solutions, and better position your business for success in the incredibly competitive defense sector.
Types of CMMC Audits
CMMC audits typically involve a range of evaluations to assess an organization’s cybersecurity posture and readiness for certification.
Data Checks
Auditors review the types of data your organization processes to determine the appropriate CMMC maturity level. Properly categorizing sensitive data and identifying any compliance-critical information are the primary objectives of this step.
Cyber Health Checks
Through this assessment, the organization’s security framework is evaluated to reveal any potential vulnerabilities and suggest actionable improvements. It also assesses the implementation of cybersecurity practices required by CMMC standards.
Staff Awareness Checks
Auditors focus on evaluating the cybersecurity training and awareness of your personnel. An integral part of this is assessing how well security education programs perform, as their relevance increases at elevated CMMC levels.
Domain and Capabilities Audit
Auditors examine the organization’s compliance with specific Domains and Capabilities outlined in the CMMC framework. The process involves verifying the implementation of Practices required for the target maturity level.
Process Integration Audit
Through this important assessment, organizations can measure the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures in aligning with their operations and broader organizational culture. Successful completion of this audit is necessary for certification, as it reflects the maturity of your processes.
