Authorized CMMC assessment and consulting services
Start your journey toward success
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 an authorized C3PAO by the Cyber AB and can conduct CMMC Level 2 maturity assessments for organizations seeking certification. The CMMC Level 1 assessment is a self-assessment and Level 3 is currently being positioned to be completed by the DOD Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity Assessment Center (DIBCAC).
