The cybersecurity programs of defense contractors are being placed under scrutiny in order to attempt to protect the United States defense supply chain. In order to gain and maintain defense contracts, it is critical to understand DFARS requirements and align with the appropriate level of Cybersecurity Maturation Model Certification (CMMC) compliance.
Silent Sector assists mid-market and emerging defense companies with navigating CMMC compliance requirements and aligning to the standards in order to prepare for successful audits, starting with our CMMC Gap Assessment. From manufacturers to defense technologies, our team's background ranges from working with elite U.S. military units and NASA, to Fortune 50 and mid-market companies.
A CMMC assessment should never be treated as a "check the block" exercise. Our methodology includes a consultative approach designed to educate and empower your company, well beyond the completion of the assessment. Strategies and technical considerations are shared throughout the CMMC gap analysis process, bringing in a deeper understanding of security to protect controlled unclassified information (CUI). This level of clarity creates confidence throughout the organization and with enterprise customers.
In addition to CMMC compliance gap assessments, Silent Sector's team helps defense companies implement appropriate security controls and build DFARS compliance best practices into daily operations. Whether you are responsible for handling compliance yourself or manage an internal team, Silent Sector's methodology offers both guidance and hands-on support our with custom suite of defense industry cybersecurity services.

United States defense contractors are required to align with Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC/CMMC 2.0) requirements in order to win and maintain DoD contracts. CMMC has significant overlap with the NIST SP 800-171 framework and others, requiring many standard security framework practices to be in place. Each contractor will have to meet a specific CMMC level based on the criticality of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) as defined by the DoD. The higher the level, the stricter guidelines the company needs to follow.
