CMMC’s tiered certification program explained
There are three different levels of CMMC certification—Foundational, Advanced, and Expert. It can be tough for organizations to determine which level is relevant to them.
Certification requirements are based on the type of data and information an organization handles, whether it is FCI, CUI, or critical CUI. Each certification level has its own set of required security practices and controls, and different requirements for assessment and recertification.
