CMMC Compliance FAQs
What is CMMC Security Compliance and why does it matter for DoD contractors?
CMMC security compliance is a Department of Defense (DoD) requirement designed to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI). Achieving compliance proves your organization can meet strict cybersecurity standards—essential for bidding on or maintaining DoD contracts.
What are CMMC Compliance Solutions and how do they help?

Yes. CMIT Solutions offers tailored compliance programs designed for subcontractors. These packages address specific Level 2 requirements, simplify documentation, and ensure your organization can meet DoD standards without unnecessary complexity.
What does achieving CMMC Level 2 compliance involve?
Level 2 compliance focuses on implementing 110 practices from NIST SP 800-171. This includes access controls, incident response plans, continuous monitoring, vendor assessments, and proper handling of CUI. Meeting these requirements positions your business as a trusted defense partner.
How does a CMMC gap analysis support certification readiness?
A CMMC gap analysis identifies weaknesses in your current security posture. This helps prioritize remediation efforts, reduce risks, and create a clear action plan to achieve and maintain compliance efficiently.
Is cybersecurity training required for CMMC compliance?
Yes. CMMC requires role-based cybersecurity awareness training for all employees who handle or have access to CUI. Training reduces human-factor vulnerabilities, improves incident reporting, and ensures staff follow best security practices.
