Exciting News for CMMC Compliance!

On Monday, Microsoft announced that it has achieved FedRAMP HIGH approval for using OpenAI GPT products in its Azure Government Cloud. This includes ChatGPT-4o. The approval means tools like ChatGPT can now be used securely to streamline CMMC documentation and tracking.

For those of us dealing with CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) compliance, this is big news. I have been cautious about using OpenAI for CMMC because of data privacy concerns. This approval is a huge reassurance. It will likely speed up the process of achieving and maintaining CMMC compliance. It could also help lower compliance costs.

Companies like SMPL-C are already using LLMs to assist with compliance documentation. With this new development, I expect more organizations will feel confident using tools like SMPL-C.

For those in the DIB, where CMMC timelines are tight, this could not have come at a better time. It’s a major step in making our documentation processes more secure and efficient.

This is just the beginning of what AI can do for compliance. I’m excited to see how it will continue to evolve and support our industry.
