CMMC & NIST 800-171 Compliance Services
Over the last several years, various industries across the defense industrial base have begun facing increasingly stringent cybersecurity compliance requirements. This often means navigating a complex web of regulations and standards to safeguard sensitive data, mitigate risks, and maintain regulatory compliance. Key compliance frameworks such as NIST and CMMC impose specific mandates regarding data protection, privacy, and security measures.
CMMC, the certification framework designed to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), ensures businesses meet specific cybersecurity requirements based on their level of involvement with sensitive data.
NIST 800-171 describes a set of guidelines from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that outlines how to safeguard CUI in non-federal systems.
We guide our clients working with the U.S. government through both critical standards, enhancing their security posture, which can help them win more government contracts.
CMIT is ready to assist its clients seeking to achieve CMMC Certification.
We implement necessary cybersecurity measures, including encryption, access controls, threat monitoring, incident response protocols, and more, to ensure compliance. Furthermore, ongoing compliance management, regular audits, policy creation, and employee training are essential components that CMIT provides for a comprehensive compliance strategy.
Partnering with CMIT Solutions means gaining access to a dedicated team of cybersecurity experts committed to guiding you through the web. With CMIT’s CMMC compliance services, your team can focus on a plan and roadmap to get you where you need to be.
