CMMC Compliance — Built to Withstand Assessment

What CMMC Actually Requires

 

CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is built around NIST SP 800-171, but it goes further:

Level 1 — Foundational cyber hygiene 

Level 2 — Advanced, assessment-based (C3PAO audited) 

Level 3 — Expert-level protection (DoD-led) 


For most organisations in the defence supply chain, Level 2 is the target — and that means:

✔ Independent assessment by a C3PAO
✔ Demonstrable, operating controls
✔ Clear handling of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
✔ Evidence that is consistent, traceable, and defensible

Where Organisations Go Wrong

How Black Kyte 17 Supports CMMC

How Black Kyte 17 Supports CMMC

CMMC failure rarely comes from lack of effort — it comes from false confidence.

  • Controls are designed, but not operationally embedded 
  • Evidence exists, but isn’t linked or repeatable 
  • Environments are built, but boundaries are unclear 
  • Documentation says one thing — operations show another 


CMMC exposes gaps that traditional compliance approaches miss.
