Staying compliant with standards like CMMC and NIST 800-171 is critical for government contractors to protect sensitive data and maintain contracts in today’s cybersecurity landscape. At First Column IT, we offer CMMC Managed Services to help businesses nationwide safeguard their sensitive data and meet regulatory requirements. Our proven processes ensure that your company maintains its operational efficiency while remaining compliant.
Government contractors face unique cybersecurity challenges. Non-compliance with certain frameworks may lead to contract loss and potential legal issues. These standards protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and reduce vulnerabilities to Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), making them key for businesses that handle sensitive government data.

● Level 1 – Foundational: This covers implementing basic cybersecurity practices. We focus on ad hoc processes to ensure initial compliance. Our team checks your practices to ensure they meet self-assessment criteria.
● Level 2 — Advanced: We ensure that all of your processes have documentation so that you can repeat them. This requires meticulous attention to detail. Our team will help build a reliable compliance framework to keep your company consistent.
● Level 3 – Expert: We’ll help develop a strong cybersecurity plan to provide advanced protection against APTs. Our team offers ongoing support to help develop and maintain this high-level process.

ADVANCE YOUR BUSINESS
Although compliance is there to protect you and your clients, it can be catastrophic should you ever fail to be compliant with your regulatory body. Our team of compliance experts is fluent in the latest requirements in CMMC, NIST, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FINRA, GDPR, DFAR, SOX, and more.
Without your data, how would you operate your business? We protect your data with non-disruptive backups to multiple locations and ensure that you and your team have a plan in place should a disaster take your business offline for any reason.
We go beyond the basics of firewall, anti-virus and intrusion prevention services (IPS) to ensure you have multiple layers of zero trust ongoing protection beyond what most of our competitors provide. Because if your security offers only a single point of protection, you’re more vulnerable to breaches – and that just doesn’t work for us.
The password - as an adequate security measure - is long dead. In 2022, about 30,000 websites are hacked each day and 64% of companies worldwide have suffered at least one form of a cyber-attack. Two Factor (2FA) deployed for all entry points including workstations, terminal servers, Office 365, and VPN is critical to protecting your valuable data!
