CMMC compliance support for defense and government supply chains
SmartAssessor supports organizations working within the defense industrial base to manage compliance evidence aligned to Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements.
Our platform helps defense suppliers structure control evidence, coordinate assessments, and demonstrate operational maturity across security, governance and risk functions.
SmartAssessor provides digital tools to support CMMC-aligned compliance workflows. SmartAssessor does not provide certification, accreditation or formal assessments.
What is CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to strengthen cybersecurity and information protection across the defense supply chain.
CMMC defines maturity levels and practices designed to protect:
-
Federal Contract Information (FCI)
-
Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
It integrates and builds on established security standards and government requirements, and is a mandatory contractual requirement for organizations seeking to work on applicable U.S. defense programs.
CMMC compliance requires organizations to implement, operate and demonstrate cybersecurity practices across policies, systems, people and processes — and to provide verifiable evidence of maturity under formal assessment.
