Challenges
These challenges are part of the broader effort to improve national security by enhancing the cybersecurity posture of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) organizations that handle sensitive data2. GRC technology can help organizations meet these challenges by providing tools for reporting, access control, and compliance mapping
Starting out or mapping other frameworks: Aligning existing security frameworks with CMMC requirements can be complex.
Completing the ‘cyber hygiene’ phase: Ensuring basic cybersecurity practices are in place is a foundational step that can be challenging for some organizations.
Shifting focus to advanced threats: As organizations progress, they need to address more sophisticated cyber threats.
Achieving full process institutionalization: Integrating CMMC processes into daily operations to ensure they are sustained over time is a significant challenge.
Obtaining official third-party certification: Passing an audit by an accredited CMMC Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO) is required for compliance.
Benefits
These benefits contribute to a more secure and compliant operational environment, which is essential for organizations working with the DoD to protect sensitive data and maintain. The main benefits of implementing Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) technologies in relation to the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) for Department of Defense (DoD) technology are:
Holistic Compliance Perspective: GRC technologies provide a dashboard that consolidates data from various sources, offering a real-time snapshot of an organization’s compliance status. This helps in understanding and maintaining continuous alignment with CMMC regulations.
Efficient Workflow Automation: These platforms automate compliance-related tasks, reducing the likelihood of human error and ensuring that critical steps are not overlooked, thus saving time and enhancing the accuracy of compliance efforts.
Robust Documentation and Reporting: GRC technologies facilitate the generation of comprehensive compliance reports, audit trails, and evidence documentation, which are crucial for successful CMMC assessments.
Ongoing Compliance Management: Compliance is a continuous commitment. GRC technologies help establish and maintain controls, track their effectiveness, and monitor compliance on an ongoing basis.
Enhanced Efficiency and Effectiveness: The centralization of compliance-related activities, coupled with automation, leads to reduced manual effort, minimized room for error, and optimized resource allocation.
