Continuous Monitoring and Maturity
HOW MAD SECURITY WILL KEEP YOU COMPLIANT
A key component of increasing your security posture and cybersecurity maturity has a Continuous Monitoring Strategy in place. Our Managed Security Service (MSSP) will help continuously monitor your environment 24/7 for the peace of mind of meeting many controls. This is important because it validates controls to ensure they are functioning correctly. It provides deeper visibility into your infrastructure with continuous monitoring. Our SOC team will provide ongoing security monitoring of your systems while our CRC team will maintain your compliance through ongoing governance.
As part of the roadmap developed by the VCM, understanding the organization’s maturity is critical. There needs to be more than just putting policies and procedures in place. An organization will need to show repeatable processes. For example, an Incident Response Plan and Business Continuity procedure may be in place. Still, if it is never tested for effectiveness, the organization’s maturity level will be affected. A maturity model assessment will help you understand the level of maturity you are at now and what needs to be done for the company’s desired state.

Frequently Asked Questions
HERE WE ANSWER THE HARD CMMC COMPLIANCE QUESTIONS
What Does It Mean To Be CMMC Compliant?
Being CMMC compliant means that a company has met the cybersecurity standards outlined by the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) in NIST 800-171. These standards are designed to safeguard sensitive government data and require companies to implement various security protocols, such as access controls, incident response plans, and data encryption. Companies must pass a rigorous assessment to become CMMC compliant, and the certification level required is determined by the level of data they handle.
Does My Company Need To Be CMMC Compliant?
If your company is a supplier or contractor for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), you will likely need to be CMMC compliant. NIST 800-171 is mandatory for all DoD contractors and suppliers, and failure to comply can result in losing contracts and government funding. Even if your company does not currently have a DoD contract, it is still a good idea to become CMMC compliant, as it can increase your chances of winning government contracts.
What Are The Levels Of CMMC compliance?
There are three levels of CMMC compliance, each with increasing security requirements. Level 1 requires basic cybersecurity hygiene, such as antivirus software and firewalls, while Level 3 requires the most advanced security protocols. The necessary level of compliance depends on the level of data your company handles and processes. Companies that operate lower-level data require a lower level of compliance, while companies that handle sensitive but unclassified government data require a higher level of compliance.
Does CMMC Replace NIST, DFARS, and FISMA?
No, CMMC does not replace NIST, DFARS, or FISMA but builds on their existing security protocols. NIST, DFARS, and FISMA are cybersecurity frameworks that guide the protection of sensitive government data. CMMC, on the other hand, is a certification program that builds on these frameworks and provides third-party validation of a company’s cybersecurity readiness. CMMC certification will be required for DoD contractors and suppliers, while NIST, DFARS, and FISMA compliance are still applicable to all industries that handle sensitive government data.
When will CMMC 2.0 Be Required For DoD Contracts?
As of March 2023, the CMMC rule is going through the rulemaking process. Once this process is complete, two possible scenarios will impact the timeline of CMMC requirements in contracts. The first scenario is for DoD to receive an interim final rule which will place the CMMC requirements in contracts as early as 60 days from the release of the interim final rule. The second scenario is for DoD to receive a proposed final rule requiring a 60-day comment period, followed by a period for DoD to respond to all comments, which can take up to 12-18 months.
Interim Final Rule: As early as June 2023
Proposed Final Rule: As early as November 2023
Will Prime Contractors And Subcontractors Be Required To Maintain The Same CMMC Level?
CMMC, just like the current DFARS 7012 requirements, will require flow down to subs that will handle CUI. The prime contractor will determine what CMMC level the subcontractor must meet and will flow down contractual clauses where appropriate.
How Will My Organization Know What CMMC Level Is Required For A Contract?
For prime contractors, the CMMC level required will be stated in RFI, RFQ, or RFPs. For subcontractors, the prime contractor will determine the necessary CMMC level.
What Don’t You Cover That My Organization Will Need To Cover?
CMMC requirements are ultimately the responsibility of your organization. MAD Security services operate in a shared responsibility manner, and we can provide a shared responsibility matrix per service upon request.
Are You FedRAMP Compliant/Offer FedRAMP Compliant Services?
FedRAMP authorization is intended for CSPs (Cloud Service Providers), and since MAD Security is not a CSP, we cannot receive a FedRAMP authorization. Any cloud service MAD Security uses to deliver managed security services is FedRAMP authorized or equivalent.
Can You Certify Me As Compliant?
MAD Security focuses on helping organizations simplify their path to compliance by offering consulting and managed security services. MAD Security is not a certifying body and cannot provide a compliance certification. MAD Security does have relationships with trusted partners that can offer certifications with differing standards.
Our experience has been excellent. MAD Security is always available to answer questions regarding implementation, threats, and alerts. This has significantly improved our security posture. It has given our prime contractors and the Government customer confidence that we meet cybersecurity requirements.
