Cybersecurity in San Diego: A CompuOne Case Study
Discover How An Engineering Firm Secured Government Contracts By Achieving CMMC Level 2 Compliance Through Cybersecurity In San Diego.
When a San Diego-based engineering firm approached CompuOne, they were overwhelmed and uncertain where to begin. A combination of outdated systems, no formal IT policies and no cybersecurity safeguards fostered an environment of risk and vulnerabilities for their business. One of the most pressing risks they faced was the chance of losing government contracts due to noncompliance with cybersecurity regulations.
In this blog, we explore how CompuOne created a safe, secure and strong IT infrastructure to ensure the firm aligned with CMMC Level II requirements positioning them for stability, growth, and long-term government contract success.
CompuOne Client Focus
The firm had 20 employees and multiple locations, yet their systems were overly complicated for their size. Additionally, their environment(s) lacked critical structure and protections including:
- IT policies and procedures which were non-existent or inadequate
- Cybersecurity safeguards that were not in place
- Server updates and patches that were not run for over 2 years
- Mismanagement and false reports from prior IT vendor on system maintenance
⚠️️ The risk? Disqualification from federal government contracts requiring CMMC compliance. This would result in loss of current business contracts and prevent future growth significantly.
