What We Do

CyberSheath is one of the industry’s few one-stop cybersecurity compliance service providers, going beyond assessment and software licensing to solve he whole problem. We help your organization achieve and maintain full compliance with DOD requirements at the appropriate level, with a minimum amount of pain.

CyberSheath staff members have been working with the DOD on DFARS-related issues since 2008, initially as a part of the Defense Industrial Base — Cyber Security Initiative (DIB-CSI). As a leader of that initiative, CyberSheath CEO Eric Noonan helped draft the first DFARS clause issued in 2013 and every subsequent update.

Cybersecurity compliance is all we do. With more than 600 NIST 800-171 assessments and implementations successfully completed for DOD contractors, we can help you cut through the confusion of NIST 800-171 and guarantee complete, ongoing and fully documented compliance.
