As a Department of Defense (DoD) contractor, achieving Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance is not just a regulatory requirement—it’s a crucial step in safeguarding sensitive government data and ensuring the security of national defense operations. Among the many requirements of CMMC, having a robust Vulnerability Management Program (VMP) in place is essential. This is where Systems Management Enterprises, Inc. (SME) can be your trusted partner.
The Importance of Vulnerability Management in CMMC
CMMC is designed to ensure that DoD contractors have the necessary cybersecurity controls to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI). One of the critical areas of focus within CMMC is the identification, management, and remediation of vulnerabilities within a contractor’s IT infrastructure.
A Vulnerability Management Program (VMP) systematically identifies, evaluates, and addresses security weaknesses across your network, systems, and applications. Without a VMP, your organization is at risk of cyberattacks that can lead to data breaches, financial loss, and the loss of valuable contracts.
