Using Cmmc 2.0 To Transform Your
Cybersecurity Program
By Richard Caralli, Senior Cybersecurity Advisor, Axio and Brian Benestelli, Director, Cyber
Risk Engineering, Axio
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a United States Department of Defense (DoD)
program that will require the assessment of existing security requirements for the protection of federal
contract information (FCI) and controlled unclassified information (CUI). These requirements apply to
over 220,000 prime contractors and subcontractors that comprise the defense industrial base (DIB).
Regardless of the maturity level of an organization’s cybersecurity program, adhering to a framework
such as CMMC can serve as a catalyst for transformative organizational change.
