Finally, as a C3PAO, we will formally assess OSCs to determine their suitability for certification against the CMMC.

Evolved Cyber Solutions (ECS) was founded on the principle that traditional approaches to protecting sensitive information are not sufficient in today’s cyber environment. Today’s information security requires a holistic approach, focused at the convergence of people, process, technology and business. ECS’s approach starts with your business imperatives and examines the people, processes, regulatory, business and technology environments involved to produce a business-driven information and cyber security roadmap. ECS assists organizations in the identification and scoping of your cybersecurity program, development and analysis of your cybersecurity profiles, analysis of gaps and action planning to close gaps, and structuring or process improvement required to make your organization successful.
