For organizations working with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), achieving Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance is non-negotiable. With the latest version, CMMC 2.0, contractors must meet stringent cybersecurity standards to safeguard Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).The challenge? Many businesses struggle to implement and maintain these security controls effectively.
That’s where AgileBlue steps in. Our AI-powered SecOps platform provides 24/7 threat monitoring, automated response, and compliance support, helping organizations seamlessly align with CMMC 2.0 requirements while strengthening their overall security posture.
Understanding CMMC 2.0 Requirements:
CMMC 2.0 is structured into three maturity levels, each with specific sets of requirements:
- Level 1 (Foundational) – Focuses on basic cybersecurity hygiene, requiring 17 practices aligned with NIST 800-171.
- Level 2 (Advanced) – Requires compliance with 110 security practices from NIST 800-171 and applies to companies handling CUI.
- Level 3 (Expert) – Incorporates all NIST 800-171 requirements plus additional NIST 800-171 controls for businesses dealing with highly sensitive DoD information.
Organizations must prove their compliance through third-party assessments or self-assessments, depending on the level, to continue working with the DoD.
How AgileBlue Helps Achieve CMMC Compliance
AgileBlue’s AI-powered SecOps platform is designed to streamline compliance efforts, reduce risk, and enhance cyber resilience. Here’s how:

Continuous Threat Monitoring and Incident Response: CMMC mandates proactive risk management and threat detection—areas where AgileBlue excels. Our Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and AI-powered Security Operations Center (SOC) provide 24/7 threat monitoring with real-time alerts and automated responses, ensuring that security events are detected, analyzed, and mitigated swiftly.
-
Automated Compliance Mapping: AgileBlue simplifies compliance by mapping your security policies and controls directly to CMMC 2.0 requirements. Our Sapphire AI Insights continuously scans your cybersecurity environment, identifying gaps and recommending remediation steps to keep you audit-ready.
-
Comprehensive Risk Assessments: CMMC 2.0 requires organizations to regularly assess and mitigate cybersecurity risks. AgileBlue’s cyber risk score evaluate your risk posture, providing actionable insights across people, processes, and technology to strengthen compliance readiness.
-
Cloud Security and Compliance Automation: SLED organizations and defense contractors often use cloud-based environments. AgileBlue enables cloud-native securityby providing real-time monitoring for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments and automating compliance audits through dashboards and reporting.
-
Zero Trust and Endpoint Security: CMMC 2.0 emphasizes Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) and endpoint security to protect sensitive data. AgileBlue provides its own endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution or integrates with leading EDR solutions your organization may currently use, ensuring continuous monitoring and policy enforcement across all devices. AgileBlue can provide a unified data layer to connect to Zero Trust pillars and systems, enabling end-to-end visibility.
-
Vulnerability Scanning: To meet CMMC’s risk management requirements, AgileBlue provides vulnerability scanning, helping organizations proactively identify and remediate security weaknesses before they become compliance risks.
