Currently, only four companies are officially approved by the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Accreditation Body (CMMC-AB) as authorized C3PAOs, and just under 200 organizations are currently listed as C3PAO Candidates pending a CMMC Maturity Level 3 Assessment.
The emerging Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) will mandate nearly the entire federal government supply chain and over 300,000 contractors to get audited and certified against the CMMC protocol. The caveat is that some organizations that build Commercial-Off-The-Shelf items or Commercially Available Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products for the Department of Defense (DoD) do NOT require a CMMC certificate . However, the devil is in the details!
Business owners whose revenue streams depend significantly or partially on government contracts have been recently faced with the mandatory emerging regulations called Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, also known as CMMC. All organizations working with the Department of Defense (DoD) and Federal government as their prime or subcontractors must be audited against these requirements by a competent third-party CMMC auditor.
If you are dealing with vulnerability management, chances are you’ve been wondering if there is a better way to store, manage, and link Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) scan data. The answer is yes! With Ignyte’s machine learning capabilities. The new SCAP module, recently released by Ignyte Assurance Platform, reimagines the user-friendly interface to visualize and compare scan data in one place, as well as track changes and progress over time.
The Ignyte Assurance Platform team has been awarded $100,000 from the Ohio Third Frontier Technology Validation and Startup Fund (TVSF) to develop and commercialize their cybersecurity and compliance automation software. “We are thrilled to have received this grant and to continue to drive towards our goal of fundamentally improving the way the defense industrial base complies with regulatory obligations like CMMC and FedRAMP,” said Max Aulakh, CEO of Ignyte.
