PBS PhantomWatch is a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO) – as seen on the CMMC-AB Marketplace website – and can enable your organization to become and maintain eligibility to respond to U.S. Defense contracts.
Our CMMC Readiness Assessment and Remediation Framework includes comprehensive and scalable elements to address successful implementation of practices to meet CMMC requirements. Our solution transforms the disconnected IT and security functions into a compliant, integrated, auditable solution, and cost-effective solution:
Most cyber incidents start because of user error. Educate people about the importance of setting strong passwords, recognizing malicious links, and installing the latest security patches. Helpful materials and training videos are available through Project Spectrum.
STEP 2: Implement access controlsLimit information systems access to authorized users and the specific actions that they need to perform.
STEP 3: Authenticate UsersUse multi-factor authentication tools to verify the identities of users, processes and devices.
STEP 4: Monitor your physical spaceEscort visitors and monitor visitor activity, maintain audit logs, and manage physical devices like USB keys.
STEP 5: Update security protectionsMake sure to download the latest security patches when new releases are available. Always double check to make sure they are coming from a trusted source.
Under CMMC 2.0, the Department intends to allow a limited waiver process to exclude CMMC requirements from acquisitions for select mission-critical requirements. DoD policies for Program Managers seeking CMMC waivers will require senior DoD leadership approval and will limit waiver duration.
