DESCRIPTION
The government authority located in Virginia is seeking vendors to provide Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO) services. This initiative requires one or more certified C3PAOs capable of conducting Level 2 CMMC Certifications across multiple system types and networks.
The systems to be covered include secure enclaves with network architectures that support virtual desktop infrastructure and network-attached storage with remote access capabilities, individual systems not connected to networked environments but managed via a master system security plan with individualized addendums, and high-performance computing (HPC) cluster architectures. The selected organization(s) will be responsible for performing assessments and certifications to ensure compliance with CMMC Level 2 requirements.
Qualified vendors must demonstrate their ability to evaluate the specified environments, possess the proper credentials, and operate in accordance with current CMMC guidelines.
