Is More Better?
Kyle Gingrich, vice president for training and development at the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program’s Accreditation Body said that while not required under the new model, there is some industry demand for CMMC level 1 assessments in addition to self-attestation, particularly for larger defense companies that use subcontractors.
“We do know that there are primes that are out there that may be looking to have their subcontractors go through some kind of training and verification to ensure that when they hire them, they understand the rigor required to be an assessor and how to do it properly, as opposed to just relying on self-attestation,” Gingrich said.
“Now clearly, that's not mandated by the DOD. But that is something that we are hearing in the industry that ... if you're going to represent us as an organization, we want to make sure that you have done the proper due diligence.” Federal Computer Week, JANUARY 4, 2022
Primes and their requirements are not the only reason to seek additional certifications. The Polaris GWAC is an example:
