Gray Analytics Named an Authorized C3PAO

Gray Analytics recently earned its accreditation from The Cyber AB and is now an authorized C3PAO (CMMC Third Party Assessment Organization).

“Cybersecurity was one of the key focus areas in the founding of Gray Analytics, helping both commercial and government organizations defend themselves from the growing cyber threat. Since that time, we have helped hundreds of organizations from across the country with a full suite of cyber services. CMMC is a major step forward in securing the Defense Industrial Base, and we have been working on it since its inception. We are proud to be approved as a C3PAO and to be able to provide this important service for the Department of Defense and defense contractors,” Scott Gray, President Gray Analytics.

The C3PAO designation authorizes Gray Analytics to provide assessment and examination services to contractors within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). A C3PAO is an organization that has passed a rigorous series of requirements to become acknowledged by The Cyber AB, on behalf of the DOD, as being objective and competent to perform assessments, consulting, and remediation of Organizations Seeking Certifications (OSC). The designation also certifies that Gray Analytics has built a secure environment to maintain its clients’ Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in accordance with the DOD’s and The Cyber AB’s expectations.

As an authorized C3PAO, Gray Analytics is one of a few firms currently approved to provide surveillance examinations of OSCs in collaboration with the Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity Assessment Center (DIBCAC) during the interim rulemaking process.

CMMC is a DOD program built to protect the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) from increasingly frequent and complex cyber attacks. It aims to enhance the protection of controlled unclassified information (CUI) and federal contract information (FCI) shared within the DIB. CMMC is designed to provide DOD increased assurance that a DIB company can adequately protect sensitive CUI and FCI, accounting for information flow down to subcontractors in a multi-tier supply chain.

“We at Gray Analytics are committed to protecting the war fighter and the intellectual property created by the men and women of this great country,” Brandon Sessions, Commercial Division Vice President.
