SoundWay Consulting, a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification third-party assessment organization, is partnering with information technology services provider Carahsoft Technology to bring its CMMC program management offerings to the public sector and government contractors.
Carahsoft said Thursday it will serve as the distributor of SoundWay’s CMMC Adaptative & Managed Operations.
Under the deal, Carahsoft will offer CAMO through its reseller partners, making it readily available for small and midsize businesses, or SMBs, to use in obtaining CMMC Level 2 certification.
Carter Schoenberg, vice president of cybersecurity at SoundWay, expressed excitement over the deal, saying, “Adherence to CMMC regulations will soon be mandatory for those looking to do business with the government, and this partnership enables us to help small and midsize business entities comply with required cybersecurity mandates so they can focus on supporting the public sector.”
Alex Whitworth, a sales director at Carahsoft, citing the need for CMMC compliance, said, “Public Sector contractors are working diligently to adhere to the government’s CMMC proposed rule in preparation for the CMMC Final Rule rollout coming in late 2024 or early 2025. Through the collaboration with SoundWay and our reseller partners, we can support our joint SMB customers in their efforts to achieve timely and successful CMMC compliance.”
