Is a CAGE Code necessary for undergoing a CMMC Assessment?

  1. No, it is only a recommendation

  2. CAGE Code is required

  3. Only larger organizations need a CAGE Code

  4. A CAGE Code is only required for initial documentation

The correct answer is: CAGE Code is required

The requirement for a CAGE (Commercial and Government Entity) Code during a CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) assessment is essential because it serves as a unique identifier for businesses working with the federal government. The CAGE Code facilitates the official recognition of an organization and is necessary for any entity bidding on federal contracts, particularly those that involve handling controlled unclassified information (CUI). Having a CAGE Code helps in tracking and validating the compliance of the organization in the context of the CMMC framework. It is also critical in ensuring that the organization meets all required regulatory standards. Therefore, for organizations intending to pursue a CMMC assessment and potentially engage in government contracts, obtaining a CAGE Code is a mandatory step in the process, reinforcing the necessity of compliance with federal procurement processes.
