It’s estimated in Q1 of 2025, all DoD contractors will need to comply with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). As both a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO) and an Authorized CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO), Edwards is ready to prepare or certify your organization, ensuring you remain competitive.
Dedicated to helping organizations achieve compliance for 27+ years, Edwards was the first organization to support the entire CMMC ecosystem (C3PAO, RPO, LTP, LPP).
More than 36% of CCAs have leveraged Edwards curriculum. We actively train the assessor base; we know what it takes for a successful assessment.
Our assessment teams are experts in numerous security frameworks including SOC 2, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, NIST CSF, HIPAA, CMMC, and CMS MARS-E.
Our experience assessing complex environments allows us to combine risks and controls across multiple systems and the enterprise, providing a comprehensive view of your enterprise risks.
We set you up for success to support the DoD through a formal assessment or compliance consulting to manage risks and prioritized actions based on business needs.
We are moving forward, we're hoping by the first quarter of calendar year [2025] we'll be able to start enforcing this and putting this in contracts.
Dave McKeown, Deputy CIO for the DoD
With CMMC 2.0 set to become a requirement for defense contractors, it's critical to ensure compliance now to avoid disruption in securing future DoD contracts. Compliance deadlines are approaching fast. Connect with our team to ensure you are ready for the future of contracting.
Proactively preparing for a CMMC assessment is essential. While the costs of preparation and undergoing assessments can be significant, a breach or a false claims act can lead to substantial financial penalties and damage to your organization's reputation. Avoid becoming a statistic—be proactive and prepare for CMMC!
