The road to Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance can be a complex journey. To navigate it successfully, you need to work with consultants who know not only the CMMC regulations, but also the business of government contracting.
CohnReznick is uniquely positioned to assist defense contractors with the CMMC compliance process as both an authorized CMMC Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO) and an approved Registered Provider Organization (RPO). Our team of cybersecurity professionals have gone through rigorous CMMC training and have been recognized as Registered Practitioners (RP). All this is further strengthened by our extensive experience in government contracting compliance and procurement best practices. Start your journey toward success with us today.
CMMC assessments will be conducted not by the U.S. government but by Certified Assessors sponsored by C3PAOs, independent organizations authorized and accredited by the CyberAB. C3PAOs must complete an approved training and must show independence in their work. We were proud to receive our C3PAO authorization in September 2022.
