Mission-Ready Cybersecurity for Federal and Defense Organizations
Defense contractors and federal agencies operate under some of the most rigorous cybersecurity mandates in existence. Dark Rock provides the specialized expertise to achieve and sustain compliance across CMMC, FedRAMP, and NIST standards - protecting national security assets and mission-critical systems.
Industry Challenges
FedRAMP authorization complexity: Navigating the boundary definition, System Security Plan development, and 3PAO coordination required for cloud service providers seeking federal authorization.
CMMC certification burden: Defense contractors face multi-level CMMC assessments with stringent evidence requirements and third-party assessment timelines that can stall contract awards.
Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling: Properly identifying, marking, and protecting CUI across systems, personnel, and supply chain creates compliance risk at every layer.
Continuous monitoring requirements: Federal frameworks mandate ongoing system monitoring, POA&M management, and annual assessment updates - a persistent operational burden for most organizations.
Cybersecurity workforce shortfall: Cleared personnel with deep federal compliance expertise are scarce, making it difficult to staff in-house programs at the level frameworks require.
