The Department of Defense (DoD) developed the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program to ensure defense contractors adequately protect federal contract information (FCI) and controlled unclassified information (CUI) from cybersecurity threats.
Though CMMC is important to safeguarding national security, it can quickly overwhelm contractors with its complexities and nuances. Still, if you want to work for the DoD, you must comply with CMMC.
Watch BTI’s Kevin Schaaff in the C3PAO Spotlight Series, where he discusses BTI’s capabilities as an authorized C3PAO and what organizations in the Defense Industrial Base can expect when working with us to achieve CMMC certification.
Complying with CMMC isn’t just about making the DoD happy. CMMC compliance has many advantages for your business, as it allows you to:

The CMMC program is a powerful credibility benchmark developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). It ensures your organization meets rigorous standards for operational integrity and data protection of federal contract information (FCI) and controlled unclassified information (CUI).
Beyond contract eligibility, the true value of CMMC comes from process improvement and risk reduction, helping organizations:

Compliance with the CMMC program showcases your commitment to protecting federal contract information (FCI) from evolving cybersecurity threats. CMMC compliance is also a preventive measure to protect government contractors and their supply chains from unauthorized access to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). With a CMMC, you can work for the DoD.
CMMC is required for businesses seeking eligibility to bid on DoD contracts. Compliance with the CMMC frameworks highlights your role in national security and dedication to upholding cybersecurity requirements.
CMMC applies when DoD includes it in a solicitation. It applies to all companies performing under that DoD contract, including non-U.S. companies, but it’s not a general requirement outside DoD contracting.
The program is designed to give a competitive edge to any business that wants to protect its data, systems, and network from cybersecurity threats.
There are three levels of CMMC:
Noncompliance with CMMC means being at risk of evolving threats that impact your systems, network, and data. Without CMMC, you are not allowed to bid on DoD contracts, limiting your business coverage.
As the pinnacle of the CMMC program, Level 3 is tailored for organizations that need to achieve an elite level of cybersecurity readiness. The CMMC expert level is a mandatory assessment for those dealing with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and highly sensitive DoD projects. Most of these are organizations part of critical infrastructure sectors like energy, water, and transportation. CMMC Level 3 assessments are conducted by the DIBCAC.
CMMC is more than a buzzword — it’s a requirement if your organization wants to grow in contracting with the US DoD. Let us help you on that journey!

BTI succeeds in its mission when an organization is measurably better in a way that makes a real difference, is able to sustain the change for the better, knows that it is better, and is satisfied with the result.
Business Transformation Institute, Inc. (BTI) joined in partnership with Raytheon SAS to help us bring together many diverse business units and to stabilize and improve our performance. Throughout the years we have worked together and achieved CMMI Maturity Level 5 while bringing together geographically and process diverse units. This has allowed us to have a much higher fluidity in our staff and contract execution locations without suffering performance degradation. Also, BTI has led the way in choreographing novel appraisal methodologies that have significantly reduced the cost of maintaining CMMI certification and ensuring that the programs do not suffer “set-back” during the gap between certification renewals.
CNI was going to graduate from the federal government’s 8(a) program. We had to be prepared to compete. Part of this is having good processes. BTI helped us to do it.
I was fortunate to work with the BTI team on deploying the CMMI Level 2 practice at Western Union. There were a number of obstacles in garnering top-down changes and support everyone that the team was able to work through and make it successful.
Implementing CMMI practices and procedures in an unstructured environment is surely difficult, but the BTI team was able to see the big picture and also make sure that the details were correctly addressed and implemented.
I highly recommend the BTI team!
