Cybersecurity in Manufacturing is Rising

The demand for proof of cybersecurity in the manufactoring industry is increasing rapidly. Pressure from the Department of Defense to obtain the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) affects roughly 300,000 contractors, many in manufacturing. We are also seeing an increase is accountability from large clients to their contractors. Large questionnaires with specific requirements for documented proof can quickly overwhelm a contractor, especially when they receive more than one request.

Our client hired us for CMMC compliance, but also needed our guidance to provide vendor specific compliance to multiple contractors.

Our client was given a tight timeline to provide proof of compliance. Each contractor, however, required a unique questionnaire and set of requirements. Our client faced the loss of contracts if they were not able to fulfill the requirements. 

Our CyberCompass virtual CISO worked with the client to develop documentation and compliance programs specific to the contractor requesting proof. We were able to help them rapidly respond to these requests and come up with strategies to meet the unique requirements each contractor placed on them.
