Cyber Security Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Assessment & Preparation
Virtual Chief Information & Security Officer (vCISO)
We are not just another company helping prepare DoD contractors for a CMMC audit: we are a DoD contractor ourselves. We know your business concerns because they are our concerns as a fellow DoD contractor. We speak the same language and understand the challenges you face.
Kaizen has been helping small and medium-sized contractors prepare for CMMC since 2020. We have prepared ourselves for our own CMMC Certification, and in doing so, we learned many valuable lessons and time-saving techniques that led us to help other DoD companies get prepared for CMMC.
Kaizen’s Security Architects will do more than simply perform a gap assessment and hand you a list of action items. We will partner with you to develop your policies and procedures, explain what the controls mean, assist you with selecting solutions, create processes, and aid in the configuration of services. We’ll work with your IT staff or Managed Service Provider to provide exactly what your company needs to prepare for CMMC compliance.
We are not a reseller of products or services. Any suggestions for products or services is based on our own experience or research, and as our client base expands, input from our clients.
Need security policies for CMMC?
If you don’t need help with preparation, but security policies are not yet developed, Kaizen offers robust IT security policies that you can easily make your own, not just outlines. Contact us for reasonable pricing and to see a sample policy.
Kaizen is a partner with the Maryland Manufacturing Extension Partnership (Maryland MEP) to assist Maryland manufacturers with CMMC assistance.
Don’t go into a CMMC Audit alone
Let our Cybersecurity CMMC experts act in your defense during your audit.
Anyone who has ever undergone an IT audit understands the need for Cyber and IT support during the process. Questions arise about the purpose of a control, or if a solution meets the control requirements. Participants may not understand technology or the various technical options available. For small or medium-sized companies who don’t have staff or the time to prepare and participate in a CMMC Audit, Kaizen Approach’s experts can assist. Our staff has over 25 years of experience preparing, explaining, and defending companies for third-party commercial and government audits.
A CMMC audit doesn’t have to be painful. We can help.
Every Company Deserves Excellent Cybersecurity. Employ a highly skilled Chief Information & Security Officer (CISO) when you need help, without high prices. If you find yourself grappling with questions about Cybersecurity for your business, Kaizen’s Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) can assist.
Leverage skillsets from Financial Services to the U.S. Intelligence Community. Kaizen’s vCISO provides companies of any size and industry with decades of hands-on, real world Cybersecurity expertise.
What is a Virtual CISO?
vCISO program provides security expertise and guidance to companies that do not have enough security work or a budget to justify a full-time CISO. Considering that a full-time CISO can cost more than $200,000, a company can engage our vCISO services at a fraction of the price. Customers pay only for the hours worked, and there is no retainer.
What Are the Benefits of a Virtual CISO?
We are uniquely able to provide vendor-neutral advice and make necessary implementations without bias because our company does not sell security products or services.
Our evaluations are proactive, honest evaluations, presenting both the good and the bad. The result is that you have the strongest and most advanced cybersecurity measures in place to meet your needs, but nothing in excess.
Your needs come first. We see ourselves as the customer we serve, not just a consultant. Your best interests guide the actions we take.
