Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification is an internal compliance measure for U.S. federal government business and places an emphasis on the stringent security standards Plurilock upholds
CMMC Level 1 safeguards U.S. federal contract information
Regular cybersecurity assessments of contractors provide the Department of Defense with increased assurance that sensitive information is adequately protected
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 5, 2024) - Plurilock Security Inc. (TSXV: PLUR) (OTCQB: PLCKF) ("Plurilock" or the "Company"), a global cybersecurity services and solutions provider, announces that the Company's subsidiary, Aurora Systems Consulting Inc., has achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 1 compliance for the United States Department of Defense (DoD).
The DoD relies on private companies to provide essential goods and services. These companies, collectively known as the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), can pose considerable cybersecurity risks if there are vulnerabilities in their information systems. Cyberattacks that steal intellectual property and sensitive information threaten both the economy and national security. To manage these risks, the DoD has started including cybersecurity requirements in its contracts. The DoD sees CMMC Level 1 as an opportunity to work with contractors to improve their cybersecurity practices.
Regular cybersecurity assessments of defense contractors give the DoD greater confidence that sensitive information shared with the DIB is properly secured. The CMMC program streamlines and enhances accountability in the cybersecurity assessment process. Level 1 covers the fundamental safeguarding requirements for Federal Contract Information, which is information provided by or created for the Government under contract that is not meant for public release.
"All DoD contractors must pass independent security checks to meet CMMC standards," said Ian L. Paterson, CEO of Plurilock. "This is an internal compliance measure for U.S. federal government business and places an emphasis on the exacting security standards we maintain as a Company. The more compliance we achieve, the stronger our business position in the market."
