Managed IT & Security Solutions for Government Contractors

Managed IT & Security Services for Government Contractors - NIST, DFARS, CMMC

RPO RegisteredFederal government contractors, especially those that sell into the DoD, face a challenging environment. This is especially true for contractors who need to meet the stringent federal regulations for the DoD's new Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC.)

Ntiva is now a CMMC-AB Registered Provider Organization (RPO). This means we are accredited to provide CMMC consulting and support to Organizations Seeking Certification (OSC) in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). We do NOT conduct CMMC audits as this would be in conflict with our services.

We provide a wide range of technology services to our government contractor clients, with cyber security services being an important focal point. We routinely deploy the safeguards needed to comply with NIST, DFARS and CMMC including:

  • NIST, DFARS, CMMC Assessments and Remediation
  • Intrusion Detection and Response
  • Advanced Endpoint Protection
  • Microsoft Office 365 Gov
  • Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery
  • IT User Policies
  • Security Incident Response Plan
  • Multi Factor Authentication
  • Security Awareness Training

Achieving NIST, DFARS, CMMC Compliance with Ntiva –
3 Step Program

ASSESSMENT/SSP/POAM

The first step is to conduct a detailed assessment of your current environment. A system security plan (SSP) will be created to document the security measures that need to be put in place, and a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) will outline the action items needed to reach compliance.

REMEDIATION

The next step is to address the items called out in the POA&M. This could be as simple as implementing a few minor changes, or as complex as doing an overhaul on outdated systems.

COMPLIANCE MONITORING & MAINTENANCE

Finally, ongoing cyber security monitoring and incident response can be provided by Ntiva. Cyber incidents must be reported to the DoD within 72 hours, and all systems and controls must be constantly assessed and maintained to remain compliant.

Learn How We Helped This DoD Contractor Get Ready for NIST & CMMC

A Rosslyn, VA based defense contractor began facing pressure from its primary client to provide evidence of compliance with DFARS and NIST SP 800-171. Their contracts were at risk, and they looked to Ntiva for help providing a response on short notice.

We stepped in quickly to gather information and developed a System Security Plan (SSP) followed by a detailed plan of action (POA&M).

New security measures were implemented, including a log management and auditing solution monitored by our 24x7 Security Operations Center (SOC.)

They went from concern about their contracts in jeopardy, to a strong plan and rapid progress toward NIST alignment in just 8 weeks -  a great start for CMMC compliance as well.

In order to become CMMC Level 3 certified, contractors will need NIST SP 800-171 Rev 1 as a baseline, so this contractor is well positioned to start the process.

When it comes to both NIST and CMMC compliance, there are no cookie-cutter solutions. We tailor our compliance projects to the client’s business, budget, and compliance requirements, based on the levels they want to achieve.

Ntiva continues to provide Managed IT Services for this client, in order to relieve their internal IT team of daily maintenance tasks that were preventing them from focusing on more important projects.
