Beryllium InfoSec Achieves FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency for Cuick Trac Secure Enclave
Beryllium InfoSec, a leading provider of cybersecurity solutions for the Department of Defense (DoD), government contractors (GovCon), and critical infrastructure sectors, has announced a significant achievement in cloud security. The company’s Cuick Trac Secure Enclave has successfully attained the FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency (FRME) attestation. This milestone is a testament to the platform’s ability to meet rigorous cybersecurity standards, marking a key step in securing sensitive government data in the cloud.
This certification follows a thorough and meticulous assessment conducted by a recognized Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO), in compliance with the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). The Cuick Trac Managed Enclave is designed to help federal agencies and contractors meet the stringent security requirements of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), all of which are vital for the protection of nonpublic federal information, including Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
A Commitment to Cybersecurity Excellence and Compliance
Beryllium InfoSec’s attainment of FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency is more than just a certification—it’s a clear demonstration of the company’s unwavering commitment to providing secure and compliant solutions that meet the high standards set forth by the U.S. Federal Government and the DoD. The assessment was conducted in alignment with the DoD’s FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency Memorandum, which was issued in December 2023. This document provides specific guidance on achieving compliance with the FedRAMP Moderate security control baseline, which is crucial for protecting Covered Defense Information (CDI) and CUI, which are critical to supporting the DoD’s mission.
By successfully attaining FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency, the Cuick Trac Secure Enclave has proven its ability to offer robust protection for sensitive data, ensuring that the information is stored and processed in a secure, fully managed cloud environment. This milestone is vital not only for ensuring that federal data is kept safe but also for maintaining the trust and confidence of government agencies and contractors.
Strategic Value for DoD and GovCon Contractors
Lincoln Neely, the CEO of Beryllium InfoSec, expressed his enthusiasm about this achievement. “We are thrilled to achieve FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency, a key commitment of trust, confidence, security, and compliance for our customers in the federal and defense contractor space,” Neely said. “This accomplishment further demonstrates our dedication to supporting the DoD’s digital transformation with secure, scalable, and innovative solutions, specifically for small to medium-sized contractors.”
The Cuick Trac Secure Enclave’s FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency certification provides crucial support for DoD and federal government contractors, ensuring that the platform is capable of handling CUI in full accordance with DoD requirements. This includes compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012, which mandates the protection of CUI, and NIST SP 800-171, which provides a set of security controls to safeguard CUI across federal contractors’ systems.
Meeting the FedRAMP Moderate Security Control Baseline
FedRAMP is a government-wide program that sets the standards for the security of cloud products and services used by federal agencies. The program’s security control baselines are designed to ensure that cloud service offerings (CSOs) meet specific levels of security before they can be used for federal work. For a CSO to achieve FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency, it must comply with a stringent set of 325 security controls, which address key aspects of cloud security such as:
- Data Encryption: Ensuring that all sensitive data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, thus preventing unauthorized access or data breaches.
- Continuous Monitoring: Implementing mechanisms for ongoing monitoring of systems and networks to detect and respond to security incidents in real-time.
- Incident Response: Establishing comprehensive plans and procedures for responding to security incidents, ensuring that any potential threats are rapidly identified and mitigated.
Cuick Trac Secure Enclave’s successful achievement of these controls demonstrates the platform’s ability to handle the most sensitive and critical government data with the highest level of security.
Enabling CMMC Level 2 Certification
In addition to its FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency certification, Cuick Trac’s secure enclave also positions Beryllium InfoSec’s solution as a trusted partner for organizations seeking Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2. The CMMC framework is designed to ensure that contractors within the DoD supply chain meet specific cybersecurity standards to protect sensitive government data. Achieving FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency positions Cuick Trac as an essential tool for organizations that need to comply with CMMC Level 2, particularly those in the small to medium-sized contractor space.
Jeff Baldwin, Chief Information Security Officer at Beryllium InfoSec, emphasized the value of this certification for organizations seeking to improve their cybersecurity posture. “Achieving this third-party attestation positions us and our Cuick Trac solution as a trusted partner and solution for organizations seeking assessment (OSA) and organizations seeking certification (OSC) for CMMC Level 2,” Baldwin stated. “This allows them to continue leveraging a purpose-built, quick-to-deploy, low-cost, and fully managed virtual CUI environment, without compromising security or compliance.”
