We take defense suppliers through NIST 800-171 control by control: scoping where CUI actually lives, writing the system security plan, closing gaps, and getting the SPRS score to where a prime can accept it. We are not a C3PAO, so the readiness work carries no stake in the assessment outcome.
Ransomware reaches most plants through IT, then spreads into OT wherever nothing separates the ERP and MES layer from the controllers below it. We design that segmentation, plan incident response around production priorities, and schedule every intrusive step inside maintenance windows, because an hour of unplanned downtime often costs more than the control that prevents it.
Defense work is one audience. Your OEM customers are another, and their supplier security questionnaires and attestation requests keep arriving whether or not a contract requires CMMC, so a stalled answer can hold up a purchase order. We build the evidence once, in a form that serves a CMMC assessment, an OEM questionnaire, and an ISO 27001 audit from the same control set.
In the competitive world of consumer hardware manufacturing, the company has carved a niche for itself with its high-quality products that find their way into countless homes. As a testament to its commitment to excellence in manufacturing cybersecurity, the company sought to achieve ISO certification for its enterprise security, ensuring that its products and processes met the highest global standards.
Achieving ISO certification is no small feat. It requires meticulous documentation, rigorous processes, industrial control systems and adherence to stringent global standards. The company faced the challenge of documenting its controls for audits, ensuring that every aspect of its supply chain and operations met the ISO criteria.
BD Emerson, leveraging its strategic partnership with Vanta, stepped in to assist the manufacturer. Vanta, serving as a control plane, facilitated the rapid documentation of controls, streamlining the audit process. With BD Emerson's guidance and Vanta's capabilities, the company was able to navigate the complexities of ISO certification with ease. Every control was meticulously documented, processes were optimized, and the company was well-prepared for the rigorous audits.
The collaboration with BD Emerson and the capabilities of Vanta ensured that the company not only achieved its ISO certification but also established a framework for continuous improvement of security controls. With the ISO certification in place, the company further solidified its reputation as a trusted manufacturer, ensuring consumers that their products were backed by globally recognized standards of cybersecurity in manufacturing sector.
