CMMC

CMMC / NIST 800-171 โ€” Madison Defense Contractors

Madison's defense contracting community, supporting Truax Field Air National Guard Base and various federal research initiatives, must achieve CMMC certification to maintain Department of Defense contracts. Local contractors providing engineering, research, and support services to military installations face increasing pressure to demonstrate cybersecurity maturity through formal CMMC assessments. The University of Wisconsin's extensive defense research programs create a network of subcontractors and partners who must meet NIST 800-171 requirements for handling Controlled Unclassified Information. Madison's technology companies often support defense applications without realizing their CMMC obligations, creating compliance gaps that threaten contract renewals and business development opportunities. Our CMMC consulting services help Madison organizations navigate the assessment process, implement required security controls, and maintain ongoing compliance with Department of Defense cybersecurity requirements. We provide gap analyses, remediation planning, policy development, and preparation for third-party assessments. Our team understands the specific challenges facing Madison's defense contractors, from small research firms to larger technology companies supporting federal missions through Truax Field and University partnerships.

ITAR

ITAR Export Control โ€” Madison Manufacturers

Madison's manufacturing and technology sectors, including companies supporting defense research through University of Wisconsin partnerships and Truax Field Air National Guard Base operations, must navigate International Traffic in Arms Regulations when dealing with defense-related technologies. Local manufacturers developing components, software, or services with potential military applications face ITAR registration and compliance requirements that can significantly impact business operations. The University of Wisconsin's extensive research programs often involve international collaboration that triggers ITAR considerations, affecting both university operations and private sector partners. Madison's growing technology sector includes companies that may inadvertently develop dual-use technologies subject to export controls without proper ITAR compliance frameworks. Our ITAR compliance services help Madison organizations determine applicability, complete registration processes, implement required security measures, and establish export control procedures.
