NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

CyberSheath’s compliance solution was not built to check a box, but to solve the most persistent and consequential compliance problem in the defense industrial base: the gap between what contractors are required to demonstrate and what most organizations can realistically sustain on their own.

The solution integrates managed IT, cybersecurity operations, and regulatory compliance into a single, beginning-to-end service model. Every element, from ticketing systems, security monitoring protocols, documentation workflows, evidence collection procedures, and incident response testing, is designed from the ground up to support CMMC, DFARS, and NIST SP 800-171 compliance and to generate the artifacts required for a successful C3PAO assessment.

This is the critical distinction. Standard MSSPs build security stacks for operational performance and then attempt to map them to compliance requirements after the fact. CyberSheath inverts that model: compliance readiness is the design constraint, and every operational component is built to serve it.

Key outcomes from the solution:

-1,000+ NIST 800-171 assessments and implementations completed across the DIB
-100% CMMC Level 2 certification success rate — CyberSheath has never had a client fail a C3PAO assessment
-99% customer satisfaction** and a **Net Promoter Score of 78+

The solution is also built for the compliance lifecycle, not just the certification event. CMMC compliance is expected to be maintained continuously throughout the three-year certification period, with annual affirmations and recertification every three years as applicable. CyberSheath’s model maintains ongoing monitoring, evidence collection, and control validation so clients do not drift from their compliance posture between assessments, which is the single most common failure mode in the market.

Clients retain full transparency into their own environments throughout. Every ticket, every process, every piece of evidence is visible and accessible to the contractor, ensuring they own their compliance posture rather than depending on a provider they cannot audit.
