Document Your Practices: Maintain thorough documentation of your cybersecurity practices and controls. This will be crucial during the assessment and any subsequent audits.
Perform a Self-Assessment: Use the CMMC Level 2 assessment guide to evaluate your compliance. This involves reviewing each practice and ensuring it is fully implemented
Prepare for Continuous Monitoring: Establish processes for ongoing monitoring and improvement of your cybersecurity practices to maintain compliance over time.
By following these steps, you can ensure your organization is well-prepared for a CMMC Level 2 assessment and ready to demonstrate your commitment to cybersecurity.
