Audit logging and monitoring
Generate, retain and review records demonstrating that security-relevant activity is monitored.
Managed security for CMMC
Operate the security controls that produce recurring CMMC evidence.
CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 require operating security practices, not policies alone. Cyberneza can help sustain monitoring, endpoint protection, identity security, vulnerability management, awareness and incident-response capabilities that produce records for Level 2 Self assessments and later government or third-party review when required.
Phase 1 changes the current assessment type, not the need for operating controls.
The Department's current CMMC implementation is paused in Phase 1, where Level 1 Self and Level 2 Self may be required. For Level 2 Self, your organization still assesses the 110 NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2 security requirements and maintains annual affirmation. Operational evidence remains necessary even when a C3PAO is not the current assessor.
Endpoint security
Maintain anti-malware, endpoint detection, hardening and operational response across systems in the CMMC environment.
Identity protection
Operate MFA, privileged access controls, account governance and recurring access-review processes with supporting evidence.
Vulnerability management
Identify, prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities and retain records showing scanning, triage and remediation activity.
Security awareness
Run recurring training and retain completion evidence that demonstrates the awareness program is operating.
Incident response
Maintain procedures, contacts, exercises and evidence needed to respond and satisfy applicable DFARS reporting obligations.
Managed services do not transfer the contractor's CMMC responsibilities.
Tools and service providers can supply capabilities and evidence, but your organization remains responsible for the requirements that apply to its CMMC scope. External service providers may also be relevant to the scoping analysis under 32 CFR Part 170 and must be documented according to their role in the CMMC environment.
Need recurring security operations that support CMMC evidence?
Cyberneza can identify the operational requirements that need improvement, determine which activities should be performed internally or by service providers, and define the monitoring, response, documentation and evidence processes required to sustain them.
