SysAudits: Empowering Manufacturing Companies with Security and Compliance Solutions

Manufacturing companies are critical to global supply chains and often handle sensitive data, including proprietary designs and defense-related information. Compliance with frameworks like the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is essential for manufacturers working with the Department of Defense (DoD) or handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). SysAudits provides the tools, strategies, and expertise needed to strengthen cybersecurity, ensure regulatory compliance, and protect critical manufacturing operations.

How SysAudits Supports Manufacturing Companies

CMMC Compliance for Manufacturers

Manufacturers that supply products to the DoD or subcontractors must meet CMMC requirements. SysAudits makes compliance achievable by offering:

• CMMC Gap Analysis: Assess current systems and identify areas requiring improvement to meet compliance standards.
• Compliance Roadmap Development: Create a detailed plan for achieving the necessary CMMC maturity level, including Level 2 or Level 3 for contractors handling CUI.
• Policy and Process Implementation: Develop robust cybersecurity policies tailored to your manufacturing environment, from network security to data handling protocols.
• Pre-Assessment Audits: Conduct readiness evaluations to prepare for formal CMMC assessments.

Securing Manufacturing Operations and Intellectual Property

Manufacturing environments are increasingly digitized, making them prime targets for cyberattacks. SysAudits helps protect your operations through:

• Operational Technology (OT) Security: Secure industrial control systems (ICS) and ensure the safety of production environments.
• Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Safeguard sensitive designs, prototypes, and manufacturing plans from unauthorized access or leaks.
• Network Segmentation and Access Control: Limit access to critical systems and reduce the risk of lateral movement during cyberattacks.
• Threat Detection and Response: Implement advanced tools to identify and mitigate threats in real-time.

Regulatory Compliance Expertise

Manufacturers often face multiple compliance requirements, both domestic and international. SysAudits ensures your business adheres to:

• CMMC and DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement): Meet DoD cybersecurity requirements and contract mandates.
• ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations): Protect export-controlled technical data and manufacturing processes.
• FISMA (Federal Information Security Management Act): Align your IT and OT operations with federal security standards.
• NIST 800-171 Compliance: Implement required security controls for handling CUI.

Operational Resilience and Risk Management

SysAudits ensures manufacturing companies can maintain continuity and recover quickly from disruptions through:

• Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning: Develop plans to minimize downtime and protect production lines.
• Risk Assessments: Identify vulnerabilities in IT and OT environments and prioritize mitigation efforts.
• Incident Response Planning: Prepare for and respond to cyber incidents with effective recovery protocols.

Supply Chain Security

Manufacturers depend on a complex network of suppliers and partners. SysAudits helps secure your supply chain by:

• Third-Party Risk Assessments: Evaluate the cybersecurity practices of suppliers and subcontractors.
• Vendor Compliance Management: Ensure partners meet regulatory standards, including CMMC.
• Secure Data Sharing Protocols: Protect sensitive information exchanged across the supply chain.

Audit and Governance Services

SysAudits provides the auditing and governance expertise manufacturers need to enhance cybersecurity and operational efficiency:

• Internal IT Audits: Evaluate IT systems and processes to ensure compliance and security effectiveness.
• Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Scanning: Uncover and address vulnerabilities in IT and OT systems.
• Cybersecurity Governance Frameworks: Implement and optimize frameworks like ISO 27001 or NIST 800-53.
