CMMC Scoping

Scoping is a foundational step in the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) assessment process, determining which systems, assets, and environments are subject to evaluation. Accurate scoping is essential for both self-assessments and certification assessments. Scoping directly affects the assessment boundary and the number of assets and controls an assessor will review. Inaccurate or incomplete scoping can lead to delays, higher costs, or even assessment failure.
