CMMC Certification vs. Compliance: Which Do You Need? The DoD's CMMC program assesses the cybersecurity of its supply chain. To participate in DoD contracts, organizations must comply with CMMC requirements. Certification involves a formal audit by a third-party, while compliance means aligning with standards without certification. Start now to build trust and gain a competitive edge.

🔐 Embracing the Future of Cybersecurity in Defense Contracting 🛡️ During a recent insightful discussion on CMMC compliance in the DoD contracting world, I gleaned valuable insights that I believe are worth sharing with my professional network. 1️⃣ The Compliance Mindset: One striking revelation was the prevailing mindset among contractors when it comes to CMMC compliance. Some believe that they can evade audits due to the sheer number of contractors out there. But remember, the contracting officer is required to verify you are CMMC compliant before awarding the contract, so chances of winning bids with CMMC in them is 0, if you're not compliant. 2️⃣ The Importance of Compliance: Non-compliance can have dire consequences, not only for your business but also for national security. 3️⃣ Data Preservation: Today's security strategy is all about preserving data even in the face of breaches within traditional IT boundaries. It's a paradigm shift we need to adapt to. 4️⃣ Audit Insights: When undergoing audits by DIBCAC or C3PAO, preparation is key. DIBCAC audits require moderate effort, and having your system security plan ready is crucial. . 5️⃣ Non-Negotiable Compliance: As emphasized by the CISO of Northrop, compliance is nonnegotiable. No matter how good you are at what you do, if you don't adhere to CMMC requirements, contract opportunities will be out of reach. 6️⃣ The Value of Outsourcing: All five panel members stressed the significance of outsourcing SOC and collaborating with a trusted RPO. It's gratifying to see industry leaders acknowledge the value provided by firms like ours. In conclusion, CMMC compliance is not just a checkbox; it's a vital part of securing our nation and your business's future. Let's stay vigilant, adapt to new security strategies, and ensure we're always ready to meet the compliance standards. 🌐🔒 Lets chat! https://lnkd.in/gGniVmYn #CMMC #Cybersecurity #DoDContracting #ComplianceMatters

A well-functioning GRC program is not about strict adherence to security protocols, but rather about agility. Organizations must be flexible and quick to adapt to changes. Similarly, your GRC program should be capable of rapid adaptation and responsiveness to evolving scenarios. #informationsecurity #grc #compliance

Are you tired of sifting through endless vendor security questionnaires and struggling to respond with the required information? One effective solution is completing a third-party assessment or certification report, like a SOC 2 examination. Not only does this provide the necessary information, but it also differentiates your organization from competitors who have not undergone a qualified assessment or certification. However, not all SOC 2 reports or issuers are created equal. Learn more about the SOC 2 process and how to select a qualified partner in our latest blog post written by Alan DeVaughan, Sr. Manager ITRM, and Shannon McNally, Delivery Manager, ITRM, "Demystifying the SOC 2 Process." #SOC2 #Cybersecurity #Compliance #VendorSecurityAssessments

CMMC compliance is on the horizon, and now's the time to ensure you're prepared! Partnering with the right MSP can make all the difference and there are a few key things to look out for when choosing your compliance partner: 1. RPO Status with Cyber-AB: Make sure your MSP is a Registered Provider Organization (RPO) with the Cyber-AB. This ensures they are recognized and vetted to help you navigate the CMMC requirements effectively. 2. Certification Plans: Verify that your MSP is planning to get their own CMMC certification. This shows their commitment to meeting the same standards they are helping you achieve. 3. Comprehensive Services: Look for an MSP that offers a full range of services, including basic IT helpdesk, cybersecurity, and compliance services tailored to meet DFARS 7012, NIST 800-171 r2, and CMMC 2.0 Level 2 requirements. 4. Special Projects Expertise: Ensure they can handle special projects like migrating to Microsoft GCC High and other critical infrastructure changes. At IsI, our MSP division was specifically designed around compliance. From tool selection to policy creation, nothing was put in place without first evaluating its importance on CMMC status.
