For startups in the defense sector, CMMC is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, working in the DIB is a massive opportunity for most startups.

With the rise in cyber threats targeting sensitive defense-related information, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has become more pressing than ever. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) was developed to address these concerns.
