The United States Department of Defense (DoD) is aiming to
reduce the estimated $600 billion in cybercrime losses impacting
the nation’s military supply chain every year by requiring
third-party cybersecurity assessments of contractors with access to
controlled unclassified information (CUI). The DoD is adopting CMMC
for its 300,000 Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors to meet
varying levels of CMMC certification as a requirement to award a
contract.
“CMMC is new and along with it comes new best practices to
demonstrate not only a robust security posture but also the
required documentation and demonstration of matured processes. We
felt it was important to take a proactive approach by partnering
with Redspin, a CMMC Registered Provider Organization, to evaluate
our security posture and the associated controls, processes and
procedures as we prepare for CMMC,” said Don Carter, Information
Security Manager of Pacific Medical Centers. “CMMC is about more
than having the right tools in place, we have to be able to
demonstrate maturity in our processes and that means we need to
start preparing for this initiative so that our organization is
ready when we start seeing the CMMC requirement in contracts.”
“Many DIB suppliers, especially those in healthcare, are on the
edge of grasping the complexity of CMMC – this type of
certification is not a simple check the box, it requires
organizations to show a history of acceptable cyber hygiene and
have the documentation in place to prove it. We applaud Pacific
Medical Centers for taking the first step towards CMMC
certification,” said Caleb Barlow, CEO of CynergisTek.
