CMMC 2.0 Compliance: Google Workspace as a Secure Solution

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has implemented the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 to address growing cybersecurity concerns and protect intellectual property and sensitive information. This standard is crucial for contractors and supply chain companies working with the DoD. Compliance isn’t optional; it’s a fundamental requirement.

Fortunately, cloud-based solutions like Google Workspace Enterprise Plus and Assured Controls Plus offer a pathway to CMMC 2.0 compliance. These solutions provide robust security features that meet the stringent requirements of CMMC 2.0, often at a lower cost and without the need for a GovCloud.

Google Workspace and CMMC 2.0 Compliance

Google Workspace aligns with CMMC 2.0 by prioritizing security:

• Comprehensive Data Protection: Google Workspace ensures data security with encryption (in transit and at rest), vendor access control, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
• Advanced Security Features: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), AI-powered phishing and malware protection, and security key enforcement provide layers of advanced security.
• Security-First Culture: Google Workspace promotes a security-first culture through security awareness training, clear security policies, and proactive security monitoring.

Why Choose Google for CMMC Compliance?
