Redspin Momentum Continues for DoD’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Services
09 September 2021 - 3:00PM
Business Wire
Redspin, the first Authorized C3PAO, reports
steady growth and demand for its CMMC readiness and assessment
services.
Redspin, a division of CynergisTek (NYSE American: CTEK), and
the first organization authorized as a Cybersecurity Maturity Model
Certification (CMMC) Third Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO),
announces continued momentum for its CMMC readiness and assessment
services with the signing of nearly $400,000 in multiple new client
agreements.
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 a
third-party cybersecurity assessment of contractors with access to
federal contract information (FCI) and controlled unclassified
information (CUI). The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense
(OUSD) will begin a phased rollout requiring contractors to achieve
CMMC certification and many Organizations Seeking Certification
(OSCs) realize that becoming CMMC certified is not a simple process
and requires months of preparation which is driving demand for CMMC
readiness services in the market. In addition, there are only a
limited number of Authorized C3PAOs able to perform CMMC
assessments today, making it a race for organizations to secure a
spot in line once these authorized vendors, including Redspin, are
eligible to start assessments.
“As the first organization to pass a CMMC assessment, we know
first-hand the work it takes to not only evaluate that policies and
procedures include provisions around FCI and CUI but that practices
are in place and understood at the enterprise level – meaning the
entire company in some fashion is involved in being CMMC ready,”
says Mac McMillan, CEO and President of CynergisTek. “In recent
weeks, we’ve seen an uptick in requests from Defense Industrial
Base (DIB) contractors who are feeling the pressure to ensure they
are ready to meet changing DoD contract requirements. Many of those
starting to prepare for their assessment, are choosing to partner
for pre-assessment consulting work to help ready them for a CMMC
assessment, while others are scheduling their CMMC Level 1 or Level
3 certification assessments which we anticipate will start next
quarter. Our early preparation to meet this demand is showing
positive results in driving revenue growth.”
