Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

When you read through the posts on the Ignyte blog focusing on CMMC, you'll see that just about everything we talk about, unless otherwise specified, refers to CMMC Level 2. This is because it's the impact level that the vast majority of DoD contractors are going to need. CMMC Level 1 is the lowest level, protecting the least sensitive of the sensitive information the government has to offer. If all you're handling is Federal Contract Information (FCI), Level 1 is enough for you.

CMMC is increasingly important for any company that is even tertiary to the Department of Defense and the defense industrial base. Prime contractors are prime targets, but even two, three, four, or more steps down the chain, CMMC may be mandatory. It's all about protecting information, after all. This means a lot of businesses are looking seriously at CMMC, and a lot of high-level executives are being asked to put their names on things they might not understand at a glance.
