CMMC

The Department of Defense (DoD) is stepping up its cybersecurity efforts with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). This initiative is a game-changer for all defense contractors, requiring them to prove their compliance with stringent IT security standards to secure new contracts. Any company lacking the required CMMC Certification Level at the time of contract award will be ineligible for the contract.

With the DoD planning to implement CMMC in 2025, the clock is ticking. Staying ahead of these requirements isn’t just about compliance—it’s about future-proofing your business.

At Kraken Compliance, we understand how critical this milestone is for your business. Our expert-led solutions help you seamlessly implement CMMC requirements and achieve certification faster. By strengthening your cybersecurity posture, you'll not only meet DoD standards, but also gain a significant competitive edge in a highly crowded marketplace.

Don’t wait until it’s too late—partner with Kraken Compliance today and turn CMMC compliance into your strategic advantage.

NIST 800-171 Assessments

To strengthen the security of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) took action in 2019, establishing critical assessment requirements for defense contractors. These require all contractors handling CUI to complete NIST 800-171 Basic self-assessments and report their scores to the DoD prior to contract awards or renewals. But that's not all—the DoD doesn’t leave security to chance. They also conduct 300 unannounced medium or high assessments annually, giving businesses just 5 days’ notice to prepare.

Protect your DoD contracts and avoid being caught off guard by these rigorous assessments. Our team of industry experts will perform in-depth, annual NIST 800-171 Basic self-assessments, providing you peace of mind when submitting your assessment score into SPRS (Supplier Performance Risk System).

We don’t stop at the basics. Should your organization face one of the DoD's surprise medium or high assessments, Kraken Compliance is ready to step in. Get compliance-ready with Kraken and safeguard your contracts today.
