Which CMMC level requires an organization to demonstrate good cyber hygiene as a minimum standard?

Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4

The correct answer is: Level 1

The requirement for an organization to demonstrate good cyber hygiene as a minimum standard aligns with Level 1 of the CMMC framework. At this level, the focus is on basic safeguarding of Federal Contract Information (FCI). Implementing foundational practices such as access control, identification and authentication, incident response, and basic security training establishes a baseline of cyber hygiene. Good cyber hygiene involves maintaining a clean and secure working environment regarding cybersecurity measures, which includes ensuring that software is updated, monitoring systems for vulnerabilities, and promoting awareness among all employees. Level 1 sets the stage for more advanced practices at higher levels, which build upon these foundational requirements to enhance overall cybersecurity maturity. The higher levels in the CMMC model demand increasingly sophisticated security controls and practices, moving beyond basic hygiene to manage Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and implementing more comprehensive security measures. Therefore, while all levels contribute to organizational cybersecurity, Level 1 serves as the entry point dedicated to establishing essential cyber hygiene practices.
