• CMMC Program Management Solution for the SMBs (May 21, 2024)
  Silver Spring, MD. May 14^th, 2024 / EINewswire / SoundWay Consulting, Inc. (SoundWay) an authorized Certified Third Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO) announces its formal partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as SoundWay’s Public Sector distributor for SoundWay’s CMMC Program Management Solution known as CMMC Adaptative & Managed Operations (CAMO).  “CAMO is a different approach towards demonstrating conformance with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). Most external service providers focus merely on the technical aspects of support whereas SoundWay provides complete oversight of technical, operational, and managerial aspects of a Government Contractor’s system. With CAMO, our clients benefit from the lessons SoundWay learned during its own efforts we underwent to become a Cyber AB accredited C3PAO.”, says SoundWay’s CEO Diane Bellegarde.
  
  “It is an exciting period of growth for SoundWay as we partner with carahsoft® as our channel partner. With forward movement on the final rule slated for release in the coming months where CMMC obligations are mandated in contract language, we wanted to help the SMB markets better position themselves so they can focus on what they do best – support the U.S. Government.”, advises Carter Schoenberg, SoundWay’s Vice President of Cybersecurity.
  
  CAMO clients see dramatic and rapid improvements with their corporate cyber risk programs and ability to demonstrate conformance with CMMC and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplements (DFARs) CUI safeguarding clauses. This is directly attributed to the use of a clearly defined shared responsibility matrix and collaboration with other C3PAOs towards reducing the costs of a Level 2 certification.  CAMO utilizes Microsoft, CrowdStrike, and industry recognized GRC tools. When these technical capabilities are joined with quarterly onsite collaboration sessions, and monthly updates, CAMO clients have higher assurances of their ability to be ready for the final rule, once implemented.
  
  Why CAMO:
  CAMO solves common issues that many SMBs face regarding CMMC as they do not have and/or cannot afford the in-house expertise needed to achieve, operationalize, and maintain CMMC compliance and certification.  Many SMBs experience sticker shock after receiving CMMC-services-related quotes from external vendors. 
  
  For SMBs seeking a CMMC Level 2 certification, CAMO is virtually a one-stop-shop for CMMC compliance.  Not only does CAMO reduce the cost and stress of achieving CMMC compliance for our clients, it also significantly reduces the cost of our client’s independent C3PAO certification assessment.  Additional benefits of CAMO include (i) a portal (tool) that gives our clients a view of their entire CMMC program via a single pane of glass, (ii) regular on-site visits by SoundWay to review conformance, discuss pertinent issues, and provide real-time support, (iii)  monthly CAMO status reports that include the evidentiary artifacts needed for proof of CMMC compliance and maturity, and (iv) a fixed monthly price with no hidden fees lets our clients spread out the costs of their compliance journey over time – easier for budget planning and less strain on cashflow.
