Compliance

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)

Secure Your Federal Contracts. Strengthen Your Cyber Resilience.

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a mandatory framework developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to safeguard Controlled Unclassified

Information (CUI) within the defense industrial base. Achieving CMMC compliance is now essential for contractors and subcontractors supporting DoD programs.

At Praxtion, we simplify the path to CMMC certification by providing practical, security- driven solutions tailored to your organization’s needs. Our services ensure you’re not only prepared for certification but that your operations remain resilient, secure, and competitive.

Why CMMC Compliance Matters

• Mandatory for defense contractors and subcontractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
• Strengthens your organization’s ability to defend against cyber threats
• Increases eligibility for DoD contracts and enhances your competitive advantage
• Supports a secure, resilient defense supply chain

CMMC 2.0 has introduced a simplified three-level structure:

• Level 1 – Foundational | Basic cyber hygiene (17 practices) – self-assessment required |
• Level 2 – Advanced | Full protection of CUI (110 practices from NIST 800-171) – third-party assessment required |
• Level 3 – Expert | Highly advanced security controls for organizations handling the most sensitive information |
