Tampa, FL, June 08, 2023 –(PR.com)– Developed by the Department of Defense (DoD), The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program is designed to enforce the protection of controlled unclassified information (CUI) that is shared by the DoD with its contractors and subcontractors in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). CMMC will require third-party evaluation and certification to determine whether a contractor is fit to do business with the DoD and participate in the DIB.

“We are ecstatic to be an authorized C3PAO,” said Courtney H. Jackson, CEO of Paragon Cyber Solutions, LLC. “Being a veteran owned small business, we recognize the importance of securing and maintaining sensitive environments in support of the warfighter.
