Your CMMC
Certification
Starts Here
Galaxy Consulting is a Cyber-AB authorized CMMC RPO helping DoD contractors achieve CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 compliance — from gap assessment and remediation through self-assessment, C3PAO preparation, and beyond.
Understanding CMMC
What is CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) program that requires all DoD prime contractors and subcontractors to verify their cybersecurity practices before being awarded contracts.
If your company handles Federal Contract Information (FCI) — any information provided by or generated for the government under a contract — you are required to meet CMMC Level 1.
If your company handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) — any information provided by or generated for the government under a contract — you are required to meet CMMC Level 2.
CMMC is not optional. As the DoD phases CMMC into contract requirements, companies that cannot demonstrate compliance will be ineligible to bid on or perform DoD contracts.
Basic cyber hygiene to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI). Annual self-assessment required. Required for all DoD contractors handling FCI.
