Meeting CMMC Compliance without Hassles
As cybersecurity threats continue to escalate, compliance with CMMC and NIST standards has become increasingly crucial, especially for organizations in government contracting. According to a study by Cybersecurity Ventures, damages from cybercrime are expected to reach $6 trillion annually by 2021. Another report from Verizon revealed that 28% of data breaches in 2020 involved small businesses, who are also a sizeable part of the government supply chain. As a result, there is an urgent need for robust cybersecurity measures and compliance.
The Challenges Faced
RMD Inc., which operates in a unique workflow environment of shared lab stations for multiple users, faced several new challenges in meeting CMMC/NIST requirements. These included:
1. Compliance with specific CMMC/NIST controls.
2. Preventing unlocked and unattended computers (AC.L2-3.1.10).
3. Accurately auditing users on shared workstation access (AU.L2-3.3.2).
4. Enforcing robust 2FA (two-factor authentication) for PC access (IA.L2-3.5.3).
5. Implementing a 2FA solution without compromising employee login speed.
6. Finding an easy-to-integrate solution that would not disrupt regular operations.
