For many business owners, Cybersecurity is for the “IT guys”. But be warned, Cybersecurity is an essential piece of any business in today’s world! If you think Cybersecurity does not matter, you are carrying an incorrect mindset that may hurt your business greatly. For years, various Cybersecurity frameworks and standards have been implemented across industries, so it is understandable if you now do not see that a model such as CMMC applies to you. The simple fact is that the mission of CMMC is to protect DoD information across the Defense Industrial Base. This means that every company from the staffing agencies to the advanced manufacturers will be affected by CMMC. If your business is exposed to DoD information that is not public information, then CMMC is for YOU.

ABOUT TECH SAGE SOLUTIONS

Founded in 2000 by a retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant, TechSage Solutions has had a focus on cybersecurity for many years.  As the presence of cybersecurity compliance standards has evolved over the past 20 years, CEO John Hill has always focused on what the current (at that point in time) regulatory environment requires and what future requirements are being developed.  At TechSage Solutions we’ve tracked CMMC developments since late 2019 because several of TechSage’s clients are DoD contractors and together, we’ve worked through NIST SP 800-171 requirements.  If your company is a DoD contractor and your MSP has not discussed the current and future implications of CMMC, the time is now to consider what this lack of preparation will truly cost you. Industry analysts have made it clear that organizations who are on the leading edge of CMMC adoption will carry a competitive advantage in a highly competitive DoD contractor industry, so don’t wait to determine your organization’s plan.
