Level 1 includes a simple degree of cybersecurity, while level 5 reflects a quite advanced stage.

An overview and background of CMMC
The DoD plans to use the CMMC to handle cybersecurity risks around the DIB – primarily in terms of securing federal contract information (FCI) and controlled unclassified information (CUI) – through independent certification to validate the cybersecurity posture of defense contractors. The effects of such certifications within the DoD’s recruitment and award systems will become discriminatory.
In addition, the DoD seeks to extend and strengthen the current guidelines for effective cybersecurity controls by the CMMC, aligning cybersecurity safeguarding criteria with the risk perception of contractors in managing FCI and CUI in executing DoD contracts. Essentially, all companies that do business with the DoD, whether as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor, would need to obtain a “level 1” sophistication rating at the very least.
