First in class solution to reduce CMMC Certification costs. CAMO is a different approach for achieving CMMC compliance. Most service providers focus only on technical aspects of support, whereas CAMO provides complete oversight of your CMMC program.”

— Diane Bellegarde, CEO of SoundWay. SILVER SPRING, MD, UNITED STATES, September 19, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SoundWay Consulting, Inc. (SoundWay), an authorized CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO), and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as SoundWay’s Services Distributor, making the company’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program Management Solution, CMMC Adaptative & Managed Operations (CAMO), available to the Public Sector and Government contractors through Carahsoft’s reseller partners.

“It is an exciting period of growth for SoundWay, and we are excited to collaborate with our new channel partner, Carahsoft,” said Carter Schoenberg, Vice President of Cybersecurity at SoundWay. “Adherence to CMMC regulations will soon be mandatory for those looking to do business with the Government, and this partnership enables us to help small and midsize business (SMB) entities comply with required cybersecurity mandates so they can focus on supporting the Public Sector.”

CAMO users see rapid improvements in their corporate cyber risk programs and ability to demonstrate compliance with CMMC and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplements (DFARs) CUI safeguarding clauses. SoundWay uses a clearly defined shared responsibility matrix and collaborates with other C3PAOs, to reduce the costs of a Level 2 certification. In addition, CAMO utilizes Microsoft, CrowdStrike and other industry recognized Government Risk Compliance tools to bolster organizations’ cyber resilience. When these technical capabilities are joined with quarterly onsite collaboration sessions and monthly updates, CAMO clients can be confident that they will be ready for the release of the Government’s CMMC Final Rule.

“Public Sector contractors are working diligently to adhere to the Government’s CMMC proposed rule in preparation for the CMMC Final Rule rollout coming in late 2024 or early 2025,” said Alex Whitworth, CMMC Solutions Vertical Executive at Carahsoft. “Through the collaboration with SoundWay and our reseller partners, we can support our joint SMB customers in their efforts to achieve timely and successful CMMC compliance.” SoundWay’s offerings are available to the SMB market through Carahsoft.

Why CAMO CAMO solves common issues that many SMBs face regarding CMMC as they do not have and/or cannot afford the in-house expertise needed to achieve, operationalize, and maintain CMMC compliance and certification. Many SMBs experience sticker shock after receiving CMMC-services-related quotes from external vendors.

For SMBs seeking a CMMC Level 2 certification, CAMO is virtually a one-stop-shop for CMMC compliance. Not only does CAMO reduce the cost and stress of achieving CMMC compliance for our clients, it also significantly reduces the cost of our client’s independent C3PAO certification assessment. Additional benefits of CAMO include (i) a portal (tool) that gives our clients a view of their entire CMMC program via a single pane of glass, (ii) regular on-site visits by SoundWay to review conformance, discuss pertinent issues, and provide real-time support, (iii) monthly CAMO status reports that include the evidentiary artifacts needed for proof of CMMC compliance and maturity, and (iv) a fixed monthly price with no hidden fees lets our clients spread out the costs of their compliance journey over time – easier for budget planning and less strain on cashflow.
