What is the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification CMMC?

Understanding CMMC and Enhancing Cybersecurity with GTB’s Data Security that Works®

Currently, the ability to guarantee strong cybersecurity measures is paramount, particularly for organizations handling sensitive information, especially those operating within the defense industrial base (DIB). The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) has emerged as a pivotal framework mandated by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to fortify the cybersecurity posture of contractors and subcontractors in the defense supply chain. Alongside this, GTB Technologies’ Data Security that Works® offers a comprehensive solution tailored to meet the stringent requirements of CMMC Levels 4 and 5.

Understanding CMMC

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification* (CMMC) is a structured framework developed by the DoD to assess and enhance the cybersecurity capabilities of organizations operating within the defense industrial base. Unlike its predecessors, such as the NIST SP 800-171 framework, CMMC introduces a tiered approach comprising five levels, each delineating a progressive level of cybersecurity maturity.

  • Level 1 (Basic Cyber Hygiene): Focused on safeguarding Federal Contract Information (FCI).
  • Level 2 (Intermediate Cyber Hygiene): Builds upon Level 1 requirements and introduces practices from NIST SP 800-171.
  • Level 3 (Good Cyber Hygiene): Further expands cybersecurity practices, incorporating additional controls.
  • Level 4 (Proactive): Introduces proactive cybersecurity measures to mitigate advanced threats.
  • Level 5 (Advanced/Progressive): Denotes a pinnacle of cybersecurity maturity, emphasizing continuous improvement and cutting-edge security practices.

Blue Cross ... Meeting our complicated needs

Over the years, our environment has become increasing complicated as we continue to improve our security and data protection posture. GTB Technologies has demonstrated time and time again its ability to be agile in meeting our needs. We have seen other (larger) companies struggle to understand issues and communicate them within their company to work toward delivering a solution. This has not been the case with GTB.

GTB Is A DLP Market Leader

Our deployed Digital Guardian deployment was failing miserably. The product did not function properly and support was non-existent. The inability to address audit issues, inaccurate data provided by the system, and the lack of reporting prompted us to implement GTB after a detailed evaluation of DLP products.
