By On October 7, Carahsoft Technology Corp. announced a new alliance with Redspin, Kiteworks and Cyturus to launch CMMC Compliance 360, a solution designed to help Department of War (DoW) contractors achieve and maintain Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) faster, easier and at lower cost.
By uniting these leading providers into one offering, Carahsoft simplifies procurement for the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and ensures contractors can access integrated technologies that work together seamlessly, the company said. The solution enables faster certification timelines, reduces costs, and supports sustained compliance across the lifecycle of the Level 2 certification process.
“Carahsoft is proud to bring together CMMC experts like Redspin, Kiteworks and Cyturus to provide DoW contractors with a simplified, unified path to certification,” said Alex Whitworth, CMMC solutions vertical executive at Carahsoft. “Carahsoft and our resellers are committed to helping DIB organizations achieve certification quicker and maintain compliance longer and more cost-effectively through CMMC Compliance 360. This initiative reflects our ‘better together’ approach, delivering integrated IT solutions that empower the public sector.”
CMMC Compliance 360 accelerates certification by delivering preconfigured technical controls that cover up to 90% of CMMC Level 2 requirements, helping contractors cut months off their certification preparation timeline. Unlike piecemeal solutions that often create evidence gaps and lead to assessment failures, CMMC Compliance 360 provides real-time dashboards, auto-updating System Security Plans (SSPs) and monitoring to prevent compliance drift. The program integrates four critical components into a single solution for contractors:
Redspin one of the first and most experienced Authorized C3PAOs, provides expert guidance, readiness, gap analysis, and remediation to ensure no surprises during assessments.
“At Redspin, we’ve seen too many contractors lose time and opportunity because they weren’t ready for their scheduled Level 2 assessment,” said Brian McManamon, president of Redspin. “CMMC Compliance 360 ensures contractors are fully prepared, protecting both their business and national security.”
Kiteworks delivers a FedRAMP Moderate Authorized platform for secure CUI communications, eliminating common audit findings and ensuring compliant data exchange.
“Private data exchange is essential to achieving and sustaining CMMC compliance,” said Tim Freestone, CMO, Kiteworks. “By integrating Kiteworks into CMMC Compliance 360, contractors gain the infrastructure and expertise they need to minimize risk and prove compliance.”
Cyturus powers the CRT Maturity Management Platform, transforming CMMC from a one-time certification into a continuous maturity journey with automated assessments, evidence management, and real-time visibility.
“The CRT platform is the backbone of CMMC Compliance 360,” said Robert Hill, CEO, Cyturus. “It enables contractors to scale compliance sustainably, moving beyond checkbox compliance to a continuous maturity model.”
