On February 20, CISO Global, Inc. announced that its compliance division has successfully completed the DIBCAC audit and passed the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements.
When authorized by the CyberAB, CISO Global will be among an elite group of organizations authorized to assess and certify defense contractors under the CMMC framework. The CyberAB is the official accreditation body of the CMMC ecosystem and the sole authorized non-governmental partner of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to oversee CMMC conformance.
The CMMC assessment framework, established by the DoD, is designed to enhance the cybersecurity posture of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) by enforcing rigorous controls for the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI). Passing the C3PAO CMMC audit is a complex, multi-phase process that requires organizations to demonstrate adherence to advanced cybersecurity practices and risk management principles. CISO Global’s compliance division successfully navigated this process, affirming its expertise in implementing and evaluating security controls that meet the highest industry standards.
“We are so proud to have passed the CMMC audit and be a step closer to achieving C3PAO status. It is an honor to be among the select group of firms responsible for evaluating organizations under this important program,” said Baan Alsinawi, managing director of strategy and risk, CISO Global. “This accomplishment is another example of our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of cybersecurity to help our clients achieve their own federal compliance requirements, ensuring that the nation’s critical defense supply chain remains secure.”
With this milestone, CISO Global reaffirms its commitment to leading cybersecurity advisory services. Upon final certification by the CyberAB, the company will offer full-spectrum support for businesses within the Defense Industrial Base—ranging from compliance preparation consulting to conducting official CMMC assessments.
“We congratulate Baan and her team on their continued success and dedication,” said David Jemmett, CEO of CISO Global. “Compliance is the foundation of cybersecurity, and CISO Global is proud to be a leader in helping defense contractors navigate the complexities of cybersecurity regulations while safeguarding sensitive information.”
