SysAudits: Empowering Engineering Companies with Security, Compliance, and Operational Resilience

Engineering companies operate in a dynamic and highly competitive industry where safeguarding sensitive designs, intellectual property, and operational data is critical. For those working on government contracts or defense projects, compliance with standards like the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is non-negotiable. SysAudits offers expert guidance to help engineering companies achieve compliance, enhance security, and streamline operations to meet client and regulatory expectations.

How SysAudits Supports Engineering Companies

CMMC Assessments and Compliance

Engineering companies working with the Department of Defense (DoD) or handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must achieve and maintain CMMC certification. SysAudits ensures your compliance journey is seamless through:

• CMMC Gap Analysis: Assess current operations against CMMC requirements to identify deficiencies.
• Roadmap Development: Design a step-by-step action plan to achieve the appropriate CMMC level.
• Policy and Process Implementation: Develop and document security policies, procedures, and workflows tailored to your operations.
• Pre-Assessment Audits: Conduct readiness reviews to ensure success during formal CMMC assessments.

Securing Intellectual Property and Operational Data

Engineering firms often deal with highly sensitive data, including proprietary designs and government project details. SysAudits helps protect these assets through:

• Data Loss Prevention (DLP): Prevent unauthorized access or leakage of confidential data.
• Network Security Assessments: Evaluate and fortify IT infrastructure against cyber threats.
• Secure Collaboration Solutions: Implement tools and protocols for securely sharing data with internal teams and external partners.
• Encryption & Access Controls: Ensure data protection during storage, transmission, and use.

Regulatory Compliance Expertise

Engineering companies face diverse compliance requirements, especially when operating across industries and jurisdictions. SysAudits ensures adherence to:

• ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations): Secure export-controlled technical data and designs.
• FISMA (Federal Information Security Management Act): Align your operations with federal cybersecurity standards.
• DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement): Address cybersecurity flow-down requirements for defense contracts.
• OSHA IT Compliance: Secure operational technologies (OT) to meet safety and security standards.

Operational Resilience and Risk Management

SysAudits helps engineering firms ensure uninterrupted operations and prepare for evolving risks by providing:

• Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Planning: Develop strategies to minimize downtime and maintain critical services during disruptions.
• Risk Assessments: Identify, prioritize, and address potential threats to your IT and OT environments.
