CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is a relatively new framework for safeguarding FCI (Federal Contract Information) and CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) which is established by the Department of Defense (DoD) and applies to the entire Defense Industrial Base (DIB) suppliers or contractors.
DoD contractors hold sensitive information for developing and delivering their products/services to the government. This certification indicates that the DoD Contractors handle and protect sensitive information according to the CMMC framework and guidelines. Hence, effective implementation and certification of the CMMC framework ensure that they secure such sensitive information just like any other government body or military would.

The benefits of CMMC can be understood as below:
- Helps ensure DoD that their FCI and CUI is protected
- Helps win DoD tenders & contracts by fulfilling their requirements
- Helps with increased revenues and market share
- Helps to create a USP against competitors
