Posted December 1, 2025 by Ashley Washburn

UNL has released guidance information about the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, which ensures that organizations handling Federal Contract Information and Controlled Unclassified Information implement appropriate cybersecurity practices to safeguard sensitive data. Compliance is required for recipients of funding from the Department of Defense and is increasingly relevant across federally sponsored research and partnerships.

CMMC integrates cybersecurity standards and best practices from multiple sources, including NIST SP 800-171 and NIST SP 800-172, into a unified framework.

Visit the website for complete information about CMMC and the timeline for implementation, which is now in effect.
