CMMC Culture

building habits that support ongoing compliance

CMMC readiness is not a one-time event. It requires consistent practices, documented habits, and ongoing proof that your security program is working every day. Many organizations underestimate the effort needed to maintain a culture that supports the CMMC requirements.

We help you build simple, repeatable processes that keep your evidence current, your activities tracked, and your team aligned so you remain ready long after the initial assessment

CMMC Level 1 Requires 17 Safeguards 15 Controls

The official FAR clause lists 15 safeguards, but CMMC documentation often references 17 practices. Here is why: 

CMMC inherited the DoD’s earlier mapping from the DFARS 252.204-21 “Basic Safeguarding” table, where two of the FAR requirements were split into multiple CMMC practice IDs during modeling. They are not additional requirements—just a structural carryover from the original DoD-to-NIST mapping exercise.
