QOMPLX Launches the CMMC Pre-Assessment Solution to Better Prepare Defense Contractors for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification

Pre-Audit Assessment Helps Defense Contractors Prepare for New Compliance Requirement With Confidence

QOMPLX, an intelligent decision platform provider, announced the release of the CMMC Pre-Assessment, a solution to help prepare defense contractors to pass their Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) audit.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) created CMMC to enhance the cybersecurity posture of the companies that make up the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). As part of this upcoming prerequisite, all 300,000+ DIB companies will be required to meet specific maturity levels to be awarded a contract from the DOD. Previously, companies could self-certify with the appropriate Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations (DFARS) and other regulations such as NIST 800-171, but CMMC now requires third-party auditors to validate if contractors are compliant with the required cybersecurity practices and procedures.

Understanding the challenges and tight timeline of the certification, QOMPLX released the CMMC Pre-Assessment to help defense contractors understand and prepare for this new requirement. The solution, developed by former government security auditors and powered by QOMPLX’s data analytics platform, allows users to walk through each control measure to understand what is needed for certification and how to report it. A comprehensive recap is provided to the auditors once the assessment is completed providing government contractors with the assurance they need to pursue certification.
