On October 7, WaveStrong and Carahsoft Technology Corp. announced an expanded security services delivery partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as WaveStrong’s Master Government Aggregator, making the company’s comprehensive portfolio of cybersecurity services, managed security offerings and compliance solutions available to the public sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), OMNIA Partners and E&I Cooperative Services Contract contracts.
As organizations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, evolving regulatory requirements and heightened scrutiny around supply chain security, this partnership provides organizations with streamlined access to WaveStrong’s unique compliance and cybersecurity services, including Zero Trust initiatives, security assessments, managed detection and response, incident response, cloud security, governance and compliance requirements, such as NY-DFS, HITRUST and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) readiness services.
“Organizations today need more than technology—they need trusted partners who can help them operationalize security, accelerate compliance and reduce risk,” said Harpreet Walia, CEO and founder at WaveStrong. “Our partnership with Carahsoft expands our ability to deliver proven cybersecurity services to public sector and regulated industry customers while helping organizations navigate increasingly complex compliance requirements.”
WaveStrong’s CMMC advisory and implementation practice empowers Defense Industrial Base (DIB) organizations to achieve and maintain compliance with CMMC and NIST 800-171 requirements. To help accelerate compliance efforts, WaveStrong leverages capabilities from Espresso Labs’ AI-powered compliance platform, which provides continuous monitoring, automated evidence collection, control enforcement and operational support for organizations pursuing CMMC certification.
Together, WaveStrong and Espresso Labs provide organizations with a comprehensive approach that combines strategic advisory services, remediation expertise, security operations and continuous compliance automation. The Espresso Labs compliance platform covers more than 100 regulatory compliance requirements, including NY-DFS, HITRUST, HIPAA and many others. This integrated offering helps organizations reduce the time, cost and complexity associated with achieving CMMC readiness while maintaining ongoing compliance in an evolving threat landscape.
“CMMC has become a business imperative for organizations supporting the Department of War (DoW) and the broader defense supply chain,” said Dan Joslin, senior vice president at WaveStrong. “By combining WaveStrong’s cybersecurity and compliance expertise with Espresso Labs’ continuous compliance capabilities, we can help customers move beyond checklist-based compliance and establish a sustainable, operational security program.”
Under the partnership, Carahsoft and its reseller ecosystem will support the availability of WaveStrong’s cybersecurity and compliance services, enabling public sector and regulated industry organizations to access trusted expertise through established procurement channels.
“Carahsoft is committed to delivering innovative cybersecurity and compliance services that help government agencies and regulated organizations address today’s evolving threat landscape,” said Steve Jacyna, director of innovative cybersecurity solutions at Carahsoft. “WaveStrong enables Public Sector organizations to navigate complex security requirements and support risk management objectives. Together with WaveStrong and our reseller partners, we look forward to providing customers with the expertise and solutions they need to strengthen security, streamline compliance and reduce cyber risk.”
The partnership underscores WaveStrong’s commitment to helping organizations build resilient security programs that align cybersecurity operations, risk management and compliance objectives while supporting mission-critical business outcomes.
