Summit 7 Systems, a leading national provider of Cybersecurity Compliance Solutions for the Defense Industrial Base, announced an expansion of their Cybersecurity Practice Area with the addition of new software and services to prepare Defense and Aerospace Contractors for compliance with the new Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification regulations.

The CMMC regulations were created by the U.S. Department of Defense to strengthen Cybersecurity in the supply chain of the Defense Industrial Base, and version 1.0 was released on January 31, 2020.

"CMMC is about creating critical thinking skills for Cybersecurity, and not another checklist. I don't want to lose a single supplier, but the culture of the DoD has changed and cyber best practices are now mandatory."

The new CMMC regulations eliminate self-certification of compliance, and DIB Contractors will be required to undergo 3rd-party Audits of their IT Systems and Cybersecurity Policies by independent Assessment companies trained in CMMC regulations to receive a CMMC compliance Level ranging from Level 1 to Level 5.

Scott Edwards, President of Summit 7 Systems, commented, "Our new CMMC Compliance Solutions are built on our deep expertise with Microsoft Cloud Platforms and DoD Cybersecurity regulations, and will be available this quarter." Edwards added "We are honored to partner with the DIB in helping secure the supply chain and ultimately protect the Warfighter."
