The Centerpiece Work Adopted and Promoted by the CISC

Introducing the CMMC ePU Implementation Guidance and Referen

CMMC ePU (e Pluribus Unum – latin for "Out of many, ONE"), when implemented as described, is intended to provide definitive guidance and overwhelming evidence of compliance. CMMC ePU equips and enables stakeholders to guide critical decisions and activities in order to provide unambiguous evidence of compliance.


CMMC ePU Implementation Guidance and Reference Documentation is licensed content that includes: 


  • ePU Implementation Guidance, the “Rosetta Stone” to bringing everything together. 
  • Determination statements for every CMMC Practice Objective, 
  • An array of compliant pre-written policies based on common reference architectures and workflows.
  • Guidance for building compliant documentation or enhancing your organization’s existing policies and procedures, 
  • To-Do lists and Audit Checklists for providing accurate, defendable, Risk and Security Assessments, 
  • Plan of Action & Milestones, and System Security Plans that are detailed and instructive in the sustainment of DFARS/CMMC requirements.


ePU provides a benchmark of confidence intended to meet and sustain CMMC (DFARS) requirements and reinforce the CMMC ecosystem and the missions of the CYBER-AB and US Department of Defense.


The purpose of CMMC ePU is to provide clarity and certainty in meeting Federal and DoD requirements through relevant guidance, documentation, and clearly defined best practices related to CMMC requirements.  


CMMC ePU reduces risk and complexity by expanding knowledge, quality, and consistency across the CMMC ecosystem, strengthening feasibility, adoption, and sustainment through industry-based collaboration and standardization. The documentation, training content, and resources provide consistency across the Defense Supply Chain from the largest prime contractors down to the smallest subcontractors by reducing cost and improving conformity.


CMMC ePU provides a bold first step in the future development of non-governmental standards for CMMC industry per authority in DoD Directive (DoDD) 5134.01 and DoD Instruction (DoDI) 4120.24 in accordance with sections 2451-2457 of Title 10, United States Code (U.S.C.)


CMMC ePU reinforces the DoD and CYBER-AB missions to meet and sustain CMMC requirements, strengthening the feasibility of consistency from implementation to assessment, and improving certainty and confidence for small business owners and large enterprise CMMC investments.


The CISC is aligning CMMC ePU with common reference architectures and prescribed "turn-key" architectures to provide a common “quality standard” for collaboration, improve conformity, consistency, and increase performance. 


Our goal is to reduce confusion, time, risk, and cost to secure America's defense supply chain.
