What is CMMC compliance for AI?
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) compliance for AI ensures that defense contractors handling controlled unclassified information (CUI) protect that data when using AI tools. CMMC adds certification requirements on top of NIST 800-171 controls.
CMMC Requirements
How CMMC applies to AI usage
Every feature designed to help your team work smarter with AI.
CUI protection
Prevent controlled unclassified information from being shared with AI tools that lack appropriate security controls and authorization.
Access management
Implement access controls that limit AI tool usage to authorized personnel with appropriate clearance levels.
Audit and accountability
Maintain comprehensive audit logs of all AI interactions that may involve CUI or defense-related information.
Configuration management
Control and document the configuration of AI tools and browser extensions used in defense contractor environments.
Awareness training
Train personnel on the risks of sharing CUI with AI tools and the organization's policies for AI usage.
Assessment readiness
Prepare for CMMC assessments by documenting AI-related controls, policies, and security practices.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can defense contractors use commercial AI tools?
Use of commercial AI tools must be evaluated against CMMC requirements. CUI must not be shared with AI services that lack appropriate security controls. DLP scanning provides a safety net to prevent accidental CUI exposure.
How does TeamPrompt help defense contractors?
TeamPrompt's DLP scanning catches sensitive data before it reaches AI models, access controls limit who can use AI tools, and audit logging provides evidence for CMMC assessments.
What CMMC level addresses AI usage?
CMMC Level 2 and above include controls for access management, audit logging, and data protection that apply to AI tool usage. The specific controls depend on the types of CUI your organization handles.
