XQ is Ingram Micro’s Partner for CMMC
This year, the Department of Defense (DoD) will release the Cyber Maturity Model Certification 2.0 (CMMC 2.0) program to strengthen federal contractors' cyber defenses.
CMMC 2.0 will set precise IT security standards to protect sensitive data throughout the DoD supply chain. Only CMMC 2.0-compliant organizations will be eligible for contracts involving Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
CMMC 2.0’s impact is already visible across the DIB. Contractors and vendors entering bids are asked by primes about their CMMC status.
Vendors must pass third-party CMMC 2.0 assessments within the next eight months to continue working with the DoD.
The CMMC 2.0 assessment process is labor-intensive and expensive. XQ can prepare vendors for a fast-tracked assessment process at a lower cost.
A Secure Data Enclave for CUI
XQ protects CUI by creating a secure enclave around the information you need protected while it lives in your commercial infrastructure.
XQ provides detailed information on data location and universal insight into data access history, as well as supports data revocation. Manage compliance and control by encrypting, permissioning, and tracking every data object individually.
Safer
Protect each file with separate quantum-resistant encryption and keep it on your cloud
Easier
Simple integrations into your existing tools
Cost Effective
Save on higher license fees, transfer costs, set-up, and maintenance
Faster
Stay in your tenant & audit every interaction with all your data on one screen

Preparing For CMMC
Workshop & Guidance
Watch our exclusive workshop as we dive deep into the intricacies of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.1, your key to securing government contracts.
The Three CMMC 2.0 Compliance Levels
Level 1 compliance certifies organizations to handle Federal Contract Information (FCI). It requires self-assessment scores to be uploaded to the DoD’s Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) annually, plus implementing 17 NIST SP 800-171 measures.
Any organization responsible for CUI must be Level 2 certified. In addition to annual self-reporting to the SPRS and implementing 110 NIST SP 800-171 security controls, Level 2 certification requires that contractors handling critical government data pertaining to national security undergo triennial assessments by Certified Third-Party Assessor Organizations (C3PAO).
The highest security certification, Level 3, focuses on reducing the risk from Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). Only companies working with CUI on DoD’s highest priority programs are to be subject to level 3. While the DoD is still finalizing level 3-specific standards, the expectation is that level 3 will build on level 2 requirements. Level 3 will also require triennial government-led assessments.
The majority of DoD contracts will be subject to Level 2 standards. By 2025, an estimated 475 prime acquisitions will contain level 2 requirements. Those who are Level 2 certified will have significant opportunities.
