Hoptroff Confident In Supporting Strict US Cybersecurity Needs
Hoptroff self-attests to CMMC Level 1 to support clients working with US government contracts.
What is CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a security framework created by the US Department of Defense (DoD). It ensures companies handling government information meet strict cybersecurity standards.
CMMC Level 1 requires implementing specific security practices across six areas:
Access control and user authentication
Data protection and secure storage
Physical security of facilities and equipment
Network security and communications protection
System monitoring and threat detection
Regular security updates and maintenance
Recent studies show only 4% of defence contractors believe they're ready for CMMC certification. The self-attestation process involves rigorous documentation, testing, and annual verification.
Why Self-Attestation for Level 1?
The DoD adopted self-attestation for CMMC Level 1 as a risk-based approach that balances security with practicality. Level 1 protects data that, whilst sensitive, poses lower national security risks than the technical data protected by higher levels.
Self-verification means that organisations like Hoptroff conduct annual assessments of security practices, formally affirming their compliance. This approach enables companies in the defence supply chain to participate without prohibitive barriers, whilst maintaining security standards.
What This Means for Your Business
If you're bidding for US government contracts or working with American defence contractors, your suppliers increasingly need CMMC compliance. Many prime contractors now require their entire supply chain to meet these security standards.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) ensures companies handling government information meet strict cybersecurity requirements. Without compliant suppliers, you could be excluded from bidding opportunities or lose existing contracts when they renew.

Protect Your Contract Eligibility
Using suppliers without CMMC compliance can disqualify you from US defence work. Our self-attestation demonstrates your timing infrastructure meets DoD Level 1 requirements..
Reduce Your Compliance Burden
Working with CMMC compliant suppliers simplifies your own compliance efforts. You can demonstrate that critical infrastructure components meet government Level 1 security standards.
Avoid Supply Chain Complications
Recent studies show only 4% of defence contractors believe they're ready for CMMC certification. Sourcing from compliant providers now prevents later headaches..
Enhanced Security Assurance
CMMC Level 1 self-attestation covers 17 specific security practices including access controls, data protection, and system monitoring.
Proven Security Infrastructure
Our CMMC achievement builds on established security credentials that protect your timing requirements:
