Once you understand the differences between NIST 800-171 and CMMC and the implementation of the Interim Rule, it’s time to determine which certification is best-suited to your company’s needs in the short term and long term.

Although the CMMC has similar compliance requirements to the NIST 800-171, it requires contractors to be certified by official assessment organizations called CMMC 3rd Party Assessment Organizations (C2PAOs). Spoiler alert – most contractors achieve the necessary level of compliance to work with the DoD with a NIST 800-171 certification.
