Supply chains are foundational in today’s business landscape, even though they’re remarkably challenging to secure. According to a report by SecurityScorecard and the Cyentia Institute, 98% of organizations are connected to at least one third-party vendor that experienced a breach within the last two years. Department of Defense (DOD) contractors have a unique and legally binding responsibility to ensure the security of their supply chains, and CyberSheath, the largest CMMC managed service vendor, has a comprehensive service to manage the risk.
The Third-Party Compliance Risk Management service regularly reviews and manages compliance with DFARS, CMMC, and NIST 800-171 standards. Through this service, CyberSheath identifies and maintains a detailed inventory of all third parties, delivering a living reflection of the dynamic nature of your supply chain. Our experts continuously ensure the DFARS clause is correctly flowed down to all relevant third parties and illuminate your risk across your entire supply chain.
“Lack of visibility into a supply chain is a major risk for defense contractors both from a CMMC compliance perspective and operationally as it relates to cybersecurity,” said Eric Noonan, CEO of CyberSheath. “Our managed service takes the guesswork out of compliance by providing deep assessments at predictable costs.”
This service goes beyond traditional, point-in-time compliance checks to deliver a culture of continuous compliance and sophisticated risk management. With an active presence throughout all levels of your supply chain, CyberSheath safeguards your DOD contracts, allowing you to bid on federal contracts with confidence.
CyberSheath categorizes third parties on an annual basis, leveraging a robust framework to highlight the most critical vendors so you can plan for detailed audits that align with your evolving business needs. The service includes proactive monitoring of your supply chain for changes that could impact compliance, reinforcing a state of continual readiness.
Our managed service is part of CyberSheath’s portfolio of managed compliance services. Join us at CMMC CON 2024 on Sept. 25, when we will dive into this service in the session “From Vendors to Verification: Ensuring a CMMC-Compliant Supply Chain.” Learn more about the Third-Party Compliance Risk Management service.
