Yes, government contractors and subcontractors who handle sensitive information related to Department of Defense (DoD) contracts are required to comply with Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). The CMMC requirements are designed to ensure that contractors and subcontractors have appropriate cybersecurity practices in place to protect against cyber threats and safeguard sensitive information. Failure to meet CMMC compliance can result in the loss of contracts or other penalties.
There are several file sharing solutions that are CMMC compliant, but the specific solution that is best for a government contractor or subcontractor will depend on their individual needs and requirements. It is important for contractors and subcontractors therefore to evaluate each secure file sharing solution and ensure that it meets their specific needs but also demonstrates CMMC compliance.
Kiteworks, the leading platform for ensuring regulatory compliance and effectively managing risk with every send, share, receive, and save of sensitive content, makes it easy for organizations to achieve CMMC compliance. Kiteworks enables organizations to demonstrate compliance with nearly 90% of the current practices delineated in CMMC 2.0 Level 2.
