Case Study: Preparing a Smart Factory for CMMC Evaluation

Challenges

A mid-sized manufacturer seeking to secure a Department of Defense (DoD) contract needed to achieve Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance. Their interconnected IT and OT systems posed unique challenges in meeting stringent security requirements.

Solutions Provided By Bawn

Bawn implemented a structured and tailored approach to prepare the factory for CMMC evaluation:

Conducted a detailed gap analysis to identify non-compliance areas with CMMC requirements.
Established a robust system of network segmentation to isolate OT systems and protect sensitive DoD-related data.
Deployed compliance-focused monitoring tools to track and manage controlled unclassified information (CUI).
Created and implemented a tailored incident response plan aligned with CMMC guidelines.
Provided specialized training for staff on cybersecurity best practices and CMMC-specific protocols.

Results

The manufacturer successfully passed their CMMC evaluation within the required timeframe, securing their eligibility for DoD contracts. This achievement not only enhanced their cybersecurity posture but also increased their competitive edge in the defense supply chain.
