Business Wire
One of only a handful of organizations accepted
into the CMMC Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO)
and Registered Provider Organization (RPO) programs.
CynergisTek, (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leading cybersecurity firm
helping organizations in highly regulated industries navigate
emerging security and privacy issues, today announced that Redspin,
a division of CynergisTek, received approval from the Cybersecurity
Maturity Model Certification Accreditation Body (CMMC-AB) to
perform CMMC assessments as a C3PAO and to perform pre-assessment
security consulting as a RPO.
The United States Department of Defense (DoD) is the first
government agency to require third party cyber security assessments
of contractors with access to controlled unclassified information.
This is part of a broad effort from the DoD to reduce the estimated
$600 billion in cybercrime losses impacting the nation’s military
supply chain every year. In a phased rollout, 300,000 Defense
Industrial Base (DIB) contractors will be required to meet varying
levels of CMMC certification as a requirement for the DoD to award
a contract. As one of only a handful of C3PAO organizations
approved today, Redspin is authorized to perform Levels 1-3 CMMC
assessments as part of the provisional program defined by the
CMMC-AB.
CMMC is based on U.S. federal acquisition rule (48 FAR
52.204-21) mandating implementation of basic safeguarding
requirements and the DoD federal acquisition rules (DFARS
252.204-70xx Series) to protect Controlled Unclassified
Information. These regulations are similar to those governing HIPAA
and PHI in healthcare, and based on NIST Special Publication
800-171, which is similar and complementary to the assessment,
consulting, and remediation work that CynergisTek provides
today.
“Offering our expertise to the DoD as a C3PAO and RPO is a
natural progression, evolving our healthcare practice and knowledge
to address the needs and high demand in adjacent markets. For
example, many of our academic medical center clients need to comply
with CMMC. As a result, Redspin is proud to be one of the
organizations having one of the first one hundred CMMC-trained
assessors on staff,” says Caleb Barlow, CEO and president at
CynergisTek.
Mr. Barlow goes onto say, “We’re honored to be one of the first
public companies chosen to help ensure controlled unclassified
information flowing down from the DoD to the DIB contractors and
their subcontractors is protected. Getting in on the ground level
aligns extremely well with our growth strategy and expansion of the
Company. It is a simple pivot for us leveraging existing resources,
skills, and technology, and dramatically expands our total
addressable market.”
