CMMC-ready in 12 weeks
U.S. university research team
Challenge: Stand up a CMMC-aligned secure environment for DoD-adjacent research, covering NIST 800-171 controls, DFARS clauses and ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 management systems, without adding load to a small research and IT team.
Solution: ORCA Opti delivered a managed CUI environment end to end: NIST 800-171 controls deployed and tested automatically, SOPs and policies aligned to DFARS and CMMC Level 2 expectations, and ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 management systems at the core. Controls and evidence were assembled inside ORCA, ready for CMMC assessment, with very little load on the customer's research and IT teams.
It was a priority for the organization to do Defense and Federal Government research projects. We needed an environment for under 10 people and couldn't wait for the network uplift project to complete. This solution was cost-effective and fast.(Name withheld), Research Department
