Insights
The successful CMMC audit marks a pivotal strategic advancement for CISO Global, potentially transforming its market position in the defense cybersecurity sector. The significance of this achievement cannot be overstated - C3PAO certification is an extremely selective designation, with fewer than 50 organizations currently authorized to conduct these critical assessments.
The market opportunity is substantial. With over 300,000 defense contractors in the Defense Industrial Base required to achieve CMMC certification by 2026, this creates a significant recurring revenue stream potential. The Department of Defense's mandate that all contractors must obtain CMMC certification establishes a captive market for assessment services.
This development provides CISO Global with three distinct competitive advantages:
- Enhanced credibility in the federal contracting space, as the company has demonstrated compliance with the same rigorous standards they will assess in others
- Ability to offer end-to-end CMMC services, from preparation consulting to official assessments
- First-mover advantage in a market with high barriers to entry, as achieving C3PAO status requires significant expertise and resource investment
The timing is particularly strategic, as the DoD is accelerating CMMC implementation across its supply chain. This positions CISO Global to capture early market share in what will become a mandatory certification process for defense contractors. The recurring nature of CMMC assessments - required every three years - suggests a sustainable, long-term revenue stream that could significantly impact CISO Global's financial performance.
Scottsdale, Ariz., Feb. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CISO Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: CISO), an industry leader in proprietary software, managed cybersecurity, and compliance, has announced that its compliance division has successfully completed the DIBCAC audit and passed the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements.
When authorized by the CyberAB, CISO Global will be among an elite group of organizations authorized to assess and certify defense contractors under the CMMC framework. The CyberAB is the official accreditation body of the CMMC ecosystem and the sole authorized non-governmental partner of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to oversee CMMC conformance.
The CMMC assessment framework, established by the DoD, is designed to enhance the cybersecurity posture of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) by enforcing rigorous controls for the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI). Passing the C3PAO CMMC audit is a complex, multi-phase process that requires organizations to demonstrate adherence to advanced cybersecurity practices and risk management principles. CISO Global’s compliance division successfully navigated this process, affirming its expertise in implementing and evaluating security controls that meet the highest industry standards.
“We are so proud to have passed the CMMC audit and be a step closer to achieving C3PAO status. It is an honor to be among the select group of firms responsible for evaluating organizations under this important program,” said Baan Alsinawi, Managing Director of Strategy and Risk, CISO Global. “This accomplishment is another example of our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of cybersecurity to help our clients achieve their own federal compliance requirements, ensuring that the nation’s critical defense supply chain remains secure.”
With this milestone, CISO Global reaffirms its commitment to leading cybersecurity advisory services. Upon final certification by the CyberAB, the company will offer full-spectrum support for businesses within the Defense Industrial Base—ranging from compliance preparation consulting to conducting official CMMC assessments.
