Montie B.

I focus on providing cybersecurity compliance, cyber risk assessment, and cybersecurity consulting services to small businesses specializing on the implementation of and compliance with CMMC, DFARS 252.204-7012, and NIST 800-171 requirements. CMMC credentials are listed on the CyberAB marketplace. I have worked with NIST 800-171 since 2019 providing guidance to small businesses on meeting the requirements of NIST-171. This includes System Security Plan (SSP) development, Plan of Actions and Milestones (POA&M) creation, Policy and Procedure Development, and technical control implementation. There is more to CMMC compliance than buying a set of pre-made policy and procedure templates. As recent government legal action shows, the Department of Defense is pursuing legal action against companies not meeting CMMC and DFARS requirements after claiming to meet the requirements to win DoD contracts. Let me help your organization meet compliance and more importantly - stay compliant! I provide recommendations to small business owners that are cost-effective to meet cybersecurity compliance requirements and lessen cybersecurity risk.
