CMMC Certified Third Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO) Assessments
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure that contractors and subcontractors implement adequate cybersecurity practices. A CMMC assessment is conducted by Kimmell Cybersecurity, a C3PAO.Key Points About CMMC C3PAO Assessment:
- Purpose: The assessment evaluates an organization’s compliance with CMMC standards, which range from basic cybersecurity hygiene (Level 1) to advanced practices (Level 3).
- Levels: There are three maturity levels in the CMMC framework:
- Level 1 (Foundational): For organizations that only work with Federal Contract Information (FCI)
- Level 2 (Advanced): For organizations that work with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and must comply with the 110 security controls in NIST 800-171
- Level 3 (Expert): For organizations that work with CUI and are subject to Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and must comply with NIST 800-172
- Assessment Process:
- Pre-Assessment: Organizations may conduct a self-assessment to identify gaps.
- Documentation Review: C3PAOs review policies, procedures, and other documentation.
- Interviews and Observations: Assessors interview staff and observe practices to verify implementation of security controls.
- Scoring: Organizations are scored based on their adherence to the CMMC practices associated with their target level.
- Results: The assessment results in a certification level, which determines the organization’s eligibility to bid on DoD contracts that require CMMC compliance.
- Recertification: CMMC certifications are not permanent. Organizations need to undergo re-assessment every three years to maintain their certification level.
- Importance: Achieving CMMC certification can enhance an organization’s credibility and competitiveness in the defense contracting space.

Make sure your company has regular penetration tests and vulnerability scans performed by external experts to identify any weaknesses in your security program. Avoid using internal teams that might have a biased perspective. Protect your organization from the insider threat – consider using ethical hacking teams who have wide ranging experience and an up-to-date view of what vulnerabilities exist in other organizations.
Our vulnerability assessment offers an effective and efficient way to manage the vulnerabilities of your organization’s computer systems and network.
The automated process of proactively identifying vulnerabilities of IT systems in a network to determine if and how a system can be exploited.
Vulnerability scanning employs software that seeks out operating system and application flaws based on a database of known issues, testing systems for these flaws and generating a report of the findings that an organization can use to improve security.
