Egnyte introduced a powerful, yet easy-to-use solution that makes
CMMC 2.0 compliance attainable for every organization. According to the
Department of Defense (DoD), Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)
standards will affect more than 300,000 organizations by the time it goes into
effect, currently scheduled for 2025. The Egnyte for CMMC Compliance solution
can help shorten the time it takes organizations who currently work or plan to
work with the DoD to become CMMC 2.0 compliant, from months to weeks.
CMMC applies to all contractors and
subcontractors who engage directly with the DoD and includes best practices,
controls, and assessments to certify that protections are commensurate with
risk for handling and processing Federal Contract Information (FCI) and
Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
"Egnyte for CMMC enables businesses of all
sizes to accelerate their compliance efforts by leveraging our highly-secure
EgnyteGov environment and a specialized CMMC data enclave," said Jeff Sizemore,
Chief Governance Officer at Egnyte. "Organizations benefit from a secure
solution that not only protects their data per CMMC requirements but also helps
to automate much of the detailed work that's required. In addition, it
eliminates the complex issue of demonstrating CMMC compliance year over year
through a complete compliance framework."
The unified solution - powered by the
combination of capabilities from Egnyte, Google Cloud, and Truyo- fast-tracks
certification and lays the foundation for a confidential, protected environment
for sharing and managing FCI and CUI. This provides one of the most
cost-effective paths to compliance by helping government contractors of all
sizes shorten their time to compliance by 50 percent.
The Egnyte for CMMC Compliance solution
simplifies the path to compliance with:
- Egnyte CMMC data enclave with explicit
configuration settings to help identify and avoid risks that could cause
noncompliance.
- Pre-populated configuration artifacts from
Egnyte to automatically produce ~50 percent of required CMMC control
documentation that makes compliance easier to facilitate.
- Technically-isolated, fully-managed EgnyteGov
environment to provide governance controls, including audit settings and
reporting, alerting policies, and advanced log and event analysis.
- Inherited controls from FedRAMP-certified
Google Cloud.
- Self-assessments using a standardized
framework, powered by Egnyte's partnership with Truyo, supporting CMMC 2.0 self-attestation
and creating an audit-ready compliance roadmap required by the model.
- Trusted advisers who act as an extension of
the organization to assist with the design and implementation process.
"Being an electrical contractor that does
federal work, it's an important part of our security posture to be able to
satisfy all of the necessary requirements, especially when it comes to the
protection and access of files," said Mark Mandarelli, Chief Information
Officer at Egnyte customer Helix Electric. "We were really excited to see the
EgnyteGov product because in a very simple way we could meet the requirements
as outlined in CMMC."
