UND is seeking a qualified partner to support its efforts toward achieving Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance. The initial engagement will focus on conducting a comprehensive gap assessment against CMMC Level 2 requirements, with deliverables including a detailed roadmap, Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), and scoping recommendations for a defined CMMC enclave. Following the assessment, the selected partner will provide implementation support to address identified gaps, assist in building a fully compliant System Security Plan (SSP), and guide the university through the necessary steps to establish and maintain a CMMC-compliant environment. The university seeks a collaborative approach with a partner experienced in higher education and federal research environments, who can provide both strategic and technical expertise throughout the readiness process.
