As Prescott celebrates its 3-year anniversary, it's an opportune moment to reflect on the significant strides made in cybersecurity through the implementation of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). Launched in January 2020 by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), the CMMC framework was designed to enhance the protection of sensitive data across the defense industrial base (DIB).
CMMC has fundamentally reshaped the cybersecurity landscape for companies involved in DoD contracts. By establishing a set of cybersecurity practices and processes across five maturity levels, CMMC ensures that contractors implement necessary safeguards to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Over the past three years, Prescott has assisted numerous clients in achieving their required CMMC certification levels, providing expert guidance on implementing practices that meet these rigorous standards. This has not only bolstered the security of sensitive data but also enhanced the overall resilience of the supply chain.
Looking back, the impact of CMMC over the last three years has been profound. It has driven a higher level of cybersecurity awareness and accountability within the DIB, with Prescott playing a crucial role in this transformation. By offering tailored solutions and support, Prescott has enabled businesses to secure their operations and comply with federal mandates, fostering a more secure and trustworthy environment for government contracts. As we celebrate this milestone, Prescott remains committed to advancing cybersecurity and supporting clients in an ever-evolving digital threat landscape.
