The completion of this assessment is a major milestone in Microsoft’s commitment to providing secure cloud services to their Government customers.
What is the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a Department of Defense (DoD) program that verifies and validates DoD contractors’ cybersecurity capabilities. The CMMC was developed to help the DoD protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) from malicious actors.
The CMMC is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Framework, which is a comprehensive set of cybersecurity standards and best practices for organizations of all sizes. The CMMC program is designed to help organizations meet the highest standards for cybersecurity and protect their data.
Why is Microsoft Federal’s Successful Completion of the CMMC Important?
The successful completion of the CMMC assessment is an important milestone for Microsoft Federal and their Government customers. This certification demonstrates Microsoft’s commitment to providing secure cloud services to their Government customers.
By demonstrating their ability to meet the DoD’s stringent security requirements, Microsoft Federal is showing their customers that they are a trusted partner in providing secure cloud services. This is especially important for organizations that are dealing with sensitive data and need to ensure that their data is secure.
