Acceleration through Prioritization
Practices in CMMC are assigned a criticality factor of one to five - and missing the mark on any practice with a weight of five is an automatic "hard failure" of your assessment. Once the gaps in implementation have been identified, we get to work addressing practices in their order of criticality to provide the most coverage in the least amount of time.
Optimization through Resource Reallocation
With a vast arsenal of intellectual property and processes available after a decade of implementing security frameworks, Highground also brings valuable man-hours to bear on your implementation activities. The lack of dedicated resources and expertise is no longer an obstacle in getting compliant. Highground knows what skills and subject expertise is required to make this journey in organizations of all sizes. We bring these skills and this knowledge as needed to get you where you need to be, helping you implement at every level of granularity.
We are not Managed Service Providers (MSPs). We are not Resellers. We are Assessment Preparation Professionals and Cybersecurity Practitioners. We have zero interest or allegiance to any particular solution beyond what is determined to be most effective for you at the enterprise architecture level. Assessors are barred from making value judgments regarding tools or providers used - so long as they have proven to satisfy controls. We uphold the same standard as consultants preparing you and your environment for assessment.
