Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a Department of Defense (DoD) program that enforces cybersecurity requirements for protecting sensitive information referred to as Federal Contract Information or “FCI” and Controlled Unclassified Information or “CUI”. The program requires an assessment of a Company’s cybersecurity environment using 1 of 3 CMMC model levels to determine the ability to safeguard DoD information. The CMMC rule was finalized on October 15, 2024 and is effective as of December 16, 2024.
Peerless Electronics completed a “Joint Surveillance Voluntary Assessment” (JSVA) in October 2024, achieving a perfect score of 110. This assessment was conducted by the DCMA Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity Assessment Center (DIBAC) alongside a CMMC Certified 3rd Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO) for the CMMC program. This assessment confirms our adherence to the 110 cybersecurity requirements outlined in NIST SP 800-171. When the CMMC rule becomes effective on December 16, 2024, our JSVA will convert to a CMMC Level 2 certification which is valid for the next 3 years.
The CMMC mandate for DoD contracts will be phased into contracts beginning in Q1 2025 and will be a requirement to engage with government contractors and subcontractors to protect FCI and CUI across networks and systems.
