Control Matrix

The Control Matrix is an interactive and dynamic placemat view that provides an overview of the 14 Domains and 110 Controls, along with their status and other useful information. This page serves the purpose of offering users an in-depth understanding of their current compliance with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), specifically focusing on Met vs. Not Met assessments.

The first element displayed on the Control Matrix page is the Current SPRS Score. This numeric value represents the grade utilized by the Department of Defense (DoD) to evaluate and assess a supplier's cybersecurity posture. Additionally, the count of met controls enables users to easily track their adherence to Met controls compared to the total number of controls.
