What does the CMMC assessment process typically require from an organization?

It requires demonstrable evidence that required practices are implemented and operating, aligned with the assessment methodology and expectations.

Because CMMC is assessment-driven, organizations need more than documented intent. They need to show that practices exist in a form that can be evaluated using the assessment process and methodology, including the ability to interpret requirements for a given maturity level.

At a foundational level, understanding the assessment methodology helps teams anticipate what auditors or assessors will look for, and how the CMMC ecosystem expects professional behavior through its code of conduct.
