CMMC/CPCSC Compliance

Does your organization contract with the U.S. Federal Government or the Government of Canada?

 

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework introduced by the United States Department of Defense (DoD). It's designed to enhance and standardize cybersecurity practices across the defense industrial base (DIB) and ensure that contractors handling sensitive government information, especially Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), meet specified cybersecurity requirements.

The CMMC framework consists of different maturity levels, ranging from basic cyber hygiene practices to more advanced capabilities. Contractors are required to achieve a specific CMMC level based on the sensitivity of the information they handle. This certification is becoming mandatory for all contractors and subcontractors of the DoD by mid-2025 and for all U.S. Federal agencies by the end of 2025, emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity in protecting sensitive government data.

The Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification (CPCSC) is a framework introduced by the Government of Canada in early 2025 that requires all Canadian Defense contractors and subcontractors to obtain this certification (or the U.S. CMMC) if they wish to continue doing business with the Department of National Defense (DND) and the Government of Canada.

Why do I need this service?

The finalization of CMMC/CPCSC rulemaking has resulted in many organizations facing challenges in meeting requirements under a tight deadline.

  • Many are uncertain about whether their current control documentation will stand up to auditor scrutiny.
  • Reviewing current practices and documentation against CMMC/CPCSC requirements is a time-consuming activity.
  • Improperly scoped CUI boundaries result in unnecessary work.
  • Delays in reaching CMMC/CPCSC compliance combined with high demand for authorized auditors means an increased risk of missed deadlines.

Who needs to comply?

By mid-2025, DoD contractors and subcontractors handling CUI must be fully CMMC/CPCSC compliant.  This extends to all U.S. Federal agencies by the end of 2025.

Our expert-led service ensures a thorough review of your current practices, identifying key areas for improvement while helping you achieve full CMMC/CPCSC compliance.

Our CMMC/CPCSC Compliance Program includes:

CUI Boundary Definition Careful identification and minimization of CUI locations reduces unnecessary effort and costs. This focused approach to compliance ensures that resources are allocated effectively. Establishing clear CUI boundaries also mitigates the risk of unnecessary remediation work, keeping efforts targeted and manageable.
Compliance Readiness Assessment A detailed report that outlines the current state of your organization's cybersecurity practices and how they align with CMMC/CPCSC requirements. This report highlights where your existing controls meet or fall short of compliance, providing a clear roadmap for your CMMC/CPCSC journey.
SPRS Score Breakdown Completion of your organization's SPRS score. We evaluate each control, identifying the associated risk level for protecting CUI. A minimum score of 88/110 is required to be eligible for a conditional certification, and a perfect score of 110 is required within 6 months to achieve full certification.
Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) A clear, structured POA&M to address identified cybersecurity gaps. The POA&M includes detailed remediation steps, required resources, responsible parties, and realistic timelines for closing each gap within the 6-month window. This plan ensures you stay on track toward full compliance and helps mitigate risks in a manageable, phased approach.

Mirai Security delivers rapid assessment of your existing systems and controls to accelerate your time to compliance.

We focus on taking the guesswork out of achieving CMMC/CPCSC compliance, giving you peace of mind that you’ll continue to meet contractual obligations to your DIB customers.

Frequently Asked Questions...

Why is CMMC compliance mandatory for federal contracts?

CMMC compliance is mandatory for federal contracts starting in mid-2025 to ensure that contractors effectively protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The Department of Defense (DoD) requires organizations to meet specific cybersecurity standards to mitigate risks associated with handling sensitive data. Mirai Security assists organizations by conducting a comprehensive review of current practices, identifying gaps, and providing a structured roadmap to achieve CMMC compliance.

What is the SPRS score, and how does it affect CMMC certification?

The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) score assesses the risk level of a contractor’s cybersecurity controls in protecting CUI. A minimum SPRS score of 88 out of 110 is required for conditional CMMC certification, and a perfect score of 110 is needed within six months to achieve full certification. Mirai Security evaluates each control, identifies associated risks, and provides guidance on how to improve the SPRS score as part of the CMMC Compliance Program.

What is a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) and why is it necessary?
A Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) is a structured document outlining remediation steps for identified cybersecurity gaps. It includes a detailed breakdown of necessary actions, responsible parties, required resources, and realistic timelines to achieve full CMMC compliance. Mirai Security provides a comprehensive POA&M to ensure that all identified gaps are addressed effectively, helping organizations stay on track to meet compliance deadlines.
How does Mirai Security help with defining CUI boundaries?
Mirai Security assists in defining Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) boundaries by carefully scoping and minimizing the areas where CUI data is present. This targeted approach reduces unnecessary work and costs, ensuring that compliance efforts are concentrated on critical areas without overextending resources. Establishing clear CUI boundaries is a crucial step in simplifying the CMMC compliance process.
What are the consequences of not achieving the required SPRS score for CMMC compliance?
Failing to achieve the required SPRS score can result in delayed or denied CMMC certification, potentially disqualifying an organization from federal contract opportunities. Since a minimum score of 88 is necessary for conditional certification, organizations that do not meet this threshold may face increased scrutiny and risk losing contract eligibility. Mirai Security helps by assessing existing controls, identifying risks, and prioritizing remediation efforts to improve the SPRS score and maintain compliance.
