Michigan Defense CyberSmart Program Provider
As a pre-qualified provider of services to Michigan defense
contractors, B. Riley Advisory Services is proud to be part of the Michigan
Defense CyberSmart Program. We believe that the Michigan Defense CyberSmart
Program is an innovative and robust cost-sharing approach to helping small and
medium sized defense contractors in Michigan understand how to most
cost-effectively meet their new cybersecurity obligations as DoD
contractors.
Understanding the New Rules
As of November 30, 2020, the 4,000 Michigan DoD contractors must be prepared
to attest to their compliance with DFARS 252.204-7012, 7019, 7020 & 7021.
They must understand the flow of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in
their defense contracts. They must assess their compliance posture, post their
compliance scores on the DoD's Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) database
for DoD scrutiny, and close the gaps revealed in their assessments through a
Plan of Actions and Milestones (POAM). False or misleading cybersecurity
posture attestations are subject to legal actions under the False Claims Act.
Becoming compliant with these rules now will best prepare Michigan DoD
contractors to meet
the coming CMMC 2.0 requirements when federal rulemaking is complete in late 2022 or early
2023.
How B. Riley Advisory Services Can Help
The Compliance, Risk & Resilience practice at B. Riley Advisory Services works in concert with the Michigan Defense CyberSmart Program to provide these services to help Michigan defense contractors meet today's DFARS requirements as a bridge to meeting upcoming CMMC 2.0 requirements:
- low-cost gap assessments and report with remediation and improvement recommendations
- providing robust SPRS scores
- development of realistic System Security Plans (SSP) and POAMs
- support for compliance gap remediation and closure
- validation of remediation and CMMC assessment readiness
