These breaches have resulted in the unauthorized disclosure of a wide range of sensitive information. The Federal government has now instituted measures to protect this data by imposing legal and contractual requirements on defense contractors, through a mechanism known as the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).
