The correct answer is: 5 Levels

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework comprises five levels. Each level progressively builds on the previous one, increasing the complexity and depth of cybersecurity practices and processes necessary for compliance. The levels are designed to help organizations enhance their cybersecurity posture in a structured manner, where each level includes specific practices and processes that are intended to manage risk effectively. Level 1 focuses on basic cyber hygiene, while Level 5 represents advanced or progressive capabilities. This graduated scale allows organizations to achieve a level of certification that corresponds to their actual cybersecurity maturity and the sensitivity of the information they handle, especially in the context of defense contracts. Understanding these levels is crucial for organizations seeking to achieve compliance and for comprehending the framework's purpose in promoting a standardized approach to cybersecurity across the defense industrial base.
