OSIbeyond has obtained NIST 800-171 compliance and is expected to garner the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0 Level 2 certification by mid-2025.
In light of the new achievement, the company said Wednesday it plans to continue supporting its government contracting clientele and promoting fidelity to the cybersecurity protocols set by the Department of Defense.
Payam Pourkhomami, president and CEO of OSIbeyond and one of Executive Mosaic‘s GovCon Experts, said, “Our number one priority is to ensure that our GovCon clients achieve certification by the time the CMMC rollout begins.”
OSIbeyond has reportedly met all 110 controls outlined in the NIST 800-171 Rev. 2 framework.
According to the CMMC 2.0 proposed final ruling, if an organization seeking certification uses an external service provider—or ESP—the provider will also be required to be certified at the same level as the corresponding organization. If the organization’s ESP is unsuccessful in reaching the certification level, the contractor will be unable to receive CMMC certification.
“We recognize that as a [managed service provider], it is our responsibility to meet the CMMC compliance obligations and not become a roadblock to the success of our client’s business, but also to help facilitate their competitive advantage in the Defense Industrial Base,” Pourkhomami added.
