Earthling Security, LLC (Earthling Security) has been approved by the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Accreditation Body (CMMC-AB) as a CMCC Registered Provider Organization (RPO).

The CMMC model covers 17 areas of cybersecurity including Access Control, Asset Management, Risk Management, and Incident Response, and consists of five cybersecurity levels ranging from basic to advanced. Certification will ensure that DoD contractors create and implement processes to adhere to the established cybersecurity standards.

Earthling Security helps businesses prepare for and follow required policies like CMMC and will perform a NIST SP 800-171 assessment, create a system security plan, and advise DoD contractors throughout the accreditation process.
