Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) Template
The POA&M is a strategic document used to identify and track the actions required to address gaps in your organization’s controls that were identified during an internal or third-party assessment. The POA&M should be a living document that is updated continuously, no less than monthly, as progress is made. Use this template to demonstrate ongoing efforts to achieve and maintain CMMC compliance to third-party assessors, which is crucial particularly for higher-level CMMC certifications where continuous improvement is emphasized.
What you'll get:
- An auditor-approved plan of action and milestones template
- A customizable template that's easy to tailor to your organization
- One example of how you can outline an identified gap as well as associated risks, planned remediation actions, timelines, milestones, and responsible parties
