CMMC Draft Version 0.4 Released for Comments
September 6, 2019
For the past several months the defense contracting industry has been waiting with bated breath to see what would happen with CMMC and what it would require for them. As of September 4th, the Draft Version 0.4 of CMMC has finally been released to the public and the DoD is looking for industry feedback. With this first reveal of the controls there is a lot to unpack, and much of them are expected to be consolidated after the feedback period.
So, What’s New?
In its current state, CMMC contains 370 controls split across 18 domains then further split between each of the 5 maturity levels. As was known prior, the framework is based off the NIST SP 800.171 controls, and all the familiar control families return.
The four new domains are:
- Asset Management – This domain talks about asset discovery tools and maintaining a consistent up to date list of assets and their associations, as well as the identification and labeling of CUI data.
- Cybersecurity Governance – This domain is all about the cybersecurity specific policy, processes, and objectives as well as its enforcement within the company. It’s time to take security seriously!
- Recovery – Backups, backups, backups! The recovery domain covers information backups and information security continuity plans.
- Situational Awareness – This domain details the requirement to stay aware of threat intelligence via online sources as well as through threat hunting and monitoring operations.
