If your company works with the Department of Defense (DoD), handles CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information), or has a requirement for developing an IT-based quality system, you can receive assistance with the cybersecurity compliance process from LaScala’s Managed CMMC Compliance service. A failed CMMC Assessment could potentially lead to lost contracts and loss of revenue.
LaScala utilizes the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0 (CMMC) as a cybersecurity compliance standard using the NIST-800-171 revision 2 framework. CMMC compliance is a mandatory directive for all companies doing business with the DoD and its prime contractors..
Begin The Managed Compliance Process
LaScala will help you thoroughly understand your compliance requirements and the 110 controls that form the basis of the framework. A Gap Analysis with a formal review of your IT infrastructure will detail how you stack up to regulatory requirements for your business.
Advance The Certification
Continue the process with a System Security Plan (SSP) documenting all 110 controls and a Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) roadmap required for compliance tracking and defining the necessary plan for remediation and improvement in your overall security posture, policies, and procedures.
Implement Compliance Improvements & Remediation
With the POA&M in place, start with the highest priority items that you need to resolve based on your overall business requirements and workflow..
Ensure Compliance
Complete the final steps by building a compliance audit trail for your contracting needs, get assistance with the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) Score, conduct a pre-audit assessment, and continuously monitor and maintain your compliance. LaScala will train your staff in the use of an effective and efficient compliance portal to maintain the progress of your compliance initiative.
Did you know that you don’t have to be a government contractor to utilize this framework? Many LaScala customers utilize this approach as a Quality System to improve their overall security posture against a wide range of threats, including malware, phishing, ransomware, DDoS attacks, APTs, cloud security risks, data breaches, AI, and social engineering.
