CMMC 1.02 Certification Cost Analysis

The DoD seeks the business of around 300,000 different contractors on an annual basis to satisfy its needs domestically and internationally. In other words, it provides billions of dollars in revenue for nearly half a million organizations. Although that is good news, it’s also a logistical nightmare. A large majority of those organizations that contract with the government work with controlled unclassified information (CUI). Although it isn’t the highest classification for information, it’s still sensitive in nature. The reality is that there has been a huge push across the globe, in both the public and private sectors, for better cybersecurity implementation. In fact, almost 70% of companies plan to increase their budget in order to comply with laws and regulations. LINKS: ____________________________________________ https://etactics.com/blog/cmmc-certif... ____________________________________________ I don’t think what I’m about to say is the case, but it seems like that statistic is almost directly targeting DoD contractors. One of the biggest reasons why I jokingly think that is because of what the DoD introduced on January 31, 2020. Of course, what I’m referring to is the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). CMMC shook the ground for DoD contractors. It requires that all 300,000 of them instill different cybersecurity safeguards based on where they land within the supply chain. The main argument you could make to my point is that CMMC isn’t a requirement until 2025. Although that is a valid argument, the deadline wasn’t put in place for contractors to procrastinate. CMMC’s deadline is so far in the future because the DoD wants to give enough time for its contractors to fulfill its requirements. Of course, accomplishing everything CMMC asks requires some upfront time, effort and budgeting. Thus, the main question for many owners of DoD subcontractors is, “How much is the CMMC certification going to cost?” Of the biggest takeaways from this video is know that where you fall within the CMMC ecosystem has a direct impact on your budget. The DoD classified five levels of CMMC. In the Accreditation Body’s own words, "The CMMC model, in effect, provides a means of improving the alignment of maturity processes and cybersecurity practices with the type and sensitivity of information to be protected and the range of threats. CMMC levels can also be characterized by [the type and sensitivity of information] and this alignment or more simply, their focus...” To put it more simply, how involved you are with sensitive information likely determines what CMMC certification level you need to achieve. That’s only the tip of the iceberg but it's a starting point in your budgeting when trying to determine CMMC’s certification cost. Before I go into and justify the costs associated with achieving a CMMC certification, let’s look at the estimated figures published inNational Defense Magazine and provided by Chess Consulting LLC. According to Chess Consulting, there are three main factors in determining the cost of this certification… Average nonrecurring engineering costs, Recurring engineering costs, and Average assessment costs. Adding up all three of those equals a total annual assessment cost. The higher level of certification you’re seeking comes with a higher annual assessment cost. The ballparked figures per level are $1,000 annually for level 1, $28,000 annually for Level 2, $60,000 for Level 3, $372,000 for Level 4 and $484,000 for Level 5. Another important aspect to understand are the factors that justify certification costs. Let’s say you’re the owner of an organization that provides specialized HVAC equipment to the DoD for military bases. You’re based in Ohio but you have 15 other satellite locations. Although the specification requirements that the DoD provided you within its contract with you aren’t anywhere near as sensitive classified information, it’s still sensitive in nature. Thus, you’re most likely going to have to pursue CMMC Level 3. That’s a great fact to know in your budgeting. However, let’s say that you’ve never set up anything related to remote work because your team has always worked at your headquarters. Since that’s the case, you have a lot of work on your hands and need to meet the requirements laid out in the Access Control (AC) controls. There’s a lot to unpack here. In this scenario, it’s safe to say that the maturity of your current IT and cybersecurity infrastructure in relation to what’s required isn’t mature. It’s not terrible, but it doesn’t fit all of the control requirements listed by the CMMC-AB. ► Reach out to Etactics @ https://www.etactics.com​ ►Subscribe: https://rb.gy/pso1fq​ to learn more tips and tricks in healthcare, health IT, and cybersecurity. ►Find us on LinkedIn:   / etactics-inc​   ►Find us on Facebook:   / ​
