About CMMC and Core

The CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) v1.02 framework was released January 31, 2020. It is a unified cybersecurity standard for future DoD acquisitions.

It was created to focus on the security and resiliency of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) sector according to the OUSD(A&S) and the DoD. The first contracts with CMMC Certification will appear in Fall 2021. In the meantime, companies need to comply with DFARS regulations to submit a self-assessment based on NIST SP 800-171 and should start preparation for CMMC.

Core assists customers in a guided self-assessment, planning with consulting assistance (remote/online or onsite) for NIST SP 800-171 compliance and CMMC certification. Core helps customers develop a System Security Plan (SSP) and Plan of Action and Milestones (POAM) with a Roadmap and a budget for implementation and remediation to work toward certification. Core will also help your organization through the 3rd party audit to successful CMMC certification. The CORE Security Suite is included to assist you in implementation and maintenance of your certification. While CMMC certification is not yet available, Core is ready to assist when needed.

Core Business Solutions has qualified cybersecurity consultants ready to help you achieve compliance. Core also provides consulting support for companies seeking multiple standards (such as ISO 9001 and ISO 27001, ISO 20000-1) through an Integrated Management System.
