Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
How iolite supports cybersecurity maturity model certifications
Where Organizations Struggle
The cybersecurity maturity model ensures contractors properly protect federal contract information and controlled unclassified information. But meeting CMMC requirements isn't simple: it demands frequent monitoring, and any gaps in visibility can create real audit and certification risks. Contractors also need strong incident response capabilities in place, yet many are working with legacy systems that simply weren't built to support modern security tools.
Consistent monitoring
Air-gapped or distributed architectures
Limited defense capabilities
Legacy systems unsupportive of modern tooling
Iolite is built to monitor and protect specialized assets
Native Internal Network Visibility
Iolite is purpose built for environments that fall outside of standard IT assumptions. Whether deployed in OT and industrial control systems, faultily connected environments, legacy infrastructures, or strict edge deployments, Iolite delivers reliable protection without requiring continuous connectivity or modern hardware.
Baseline and Anomaly Detection
- Detects deviations across cyber-physical behaviors including unapproved communications and network behavior
- identifies suspicious communication patterns and malware-like behavior
Incident Response
- Build pre-approved processes
- Controls directly into detection and monitoring systems
Vendor Electronic Remote Access Security Controls
- Monitors for electronic remote access behavior and logging
- Detects known or suspected inbound and outbound malicious communications
Physical Layer Connectivity
- Monitor industrial events like temperature, pressure, humidity, and more or disconnected cables and unexpected behaviors
- Lightweight deployment runs on minimal hardware
- Air-gapped operation is fully functional with no cloud connectivity
What is CMMC?
- A mandatory condition of contract award for DoD programs
- Enforced through the acquisition and contracting process
- Aligned to NIST Special Publication 800-171 and related DoD requirements
- Designed to ensure the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) meets baseline and evolving cybersecurity expectations
CMMC Requirements
- Contractors must meet Level 1, 2, or 3 requirements based on data sensitivity
- Assessments (self or third party) are required for contract eligibility
- Requirements will flow down to subcontractors
- Organizations may use Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms)--but only for a limited subset of controls
