Prepare for CMMC with Data-centric Protection for NIST CUI
Stay on commercial AWS and Microsoft 365 without moving to GCC High to position your organization for CMMC.
XQ’s Zero Trust Data Security Platform protects Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) everywhere it goes with NIST and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) compliant protections.
Additionally, keep ahead of the DoD Zero Trust mandate going into effect in 2027 with the only patented, commercially available solution that meets the DoD’s Zero Trust Data requirements.
XQ provides a solution that helps organizations comply with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 while using commercial Microsoft 365. The key features mentioned in the statement include:
Microsoft 365 Integration: Enclave emails and files directly within M365
CMMC Level 2 Compliance: XQ offers organizations a way to achieve compliance with CMMC Level 2, a cybersecurity standard required for defense contractors.
Platform Superiority: XQ's platform outperforms other solutions in terms of securing data, chain of custody, and rights management.
Secure Data Wrapping: XQ wraps data in a secure enclave, ensuring it is not compromised.
Rights Management (DRM): XQ adds digital rights management to the data, which controls who can access and modify it.
Cross-Environment Security: The XQ platform can secure data across different environments, which can be crucial in multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud setups.
Chain of Custody: XQ's solution establishes a secure chain of custody for each data object, vital for maintaining data integrity and traceability.
Impact on Defense Industrial Base: XQ can significantly help assess a large portion of the defense industrial base successfully.
Enable Secure CUI Sharing and Collaboration Workflows
By 2025, prime acquisitions will contain CMMC requirements. As certification takes, on average, six months to complete, any organization bidding on DoD tenders should consider starting the process in advance of expected bids. This is true of subprimes and their vendors.
Defense contractors that handle CUI need to implement access controls for CUI within NIST SP 800-171 and safeguards from DFARS 252.204-7012.
In cloud environments, workflows risk the exposure of CUI to unauthorized users. Supply chain communications and data transfer are especially vulnerable.
XQ helps streamline your organization’s preparations for CMMC by protecting CUI from unauthorized access everywhere it goes throughout its lifecycle.
XQ’s easy end-to-end ephemeral encryption and granular access controls help you:
Protect CUI stored and shared via Gmail and Outlook from access by unauthorized users.
Protect CUI in Secure Chat from access by unauthorized users.
Protect CUI collected in secure forms from access by unauthorized users.
Protect Data, including files, transferred and stored in the cloud from access internally and by external primes, subcontractors, agencies, and other mission partners.
Support remote workers and distributed teams throughout supply chain collaboration workflows.
Simplify CMMC and NIST Compliant Defense CUI Workflows
-
CUI Protection
Zero Trust data protection is the best solution for CUI from unauthorized access and audit to meet CMMC requirements for access control and accountability, integrity, and protections for communications and data transfer across disparate networks.
-
Data Residency
XQ uniquely geolocates each data access request. This also means XQ can geofence data. XQ is the only solution providing geofencing at the data level for HIPAA compliance. With XQ, data stays where it is supposed to.
-
Chain of Custody Visibility Across Environments
Each interaction with your data, whether it is IoT, CCTV, email, or chat, is logged with who, where, and when the access was attempted. XQ provides a complete auditable trail.
-
Secure Sharing
As private consumer data is shared across cloud environments and disparate networks, XQ keeps it secure with continuous protection and lets you govern access throughout the data lifecycle.
-
Ease of Use
XQ is the easiest way to have digitally secure workflows and to extend that security to customers, vendors, and coworkers. XQ is layer on security and control that works where you already work.
-
Data Control
Your data is most at risk after it leaves your possession. With XQ, you retain the ability to know what happens to your data, revoke access to it or reprovision it with granular access controls for Data Lifecycle Management.
Everywhere CUI Goes, Maintain Control
-
Seamless End-to-End Encryption for CUI
XQ’s seamless end-to-end email, file, chat, support, form and data transfer encryption streamlines your preparations for CMMC. XQ covers NIST security requirements and facilitates CMMC practices and processes that protect CUI. This includes protecting communication within email, files, chat, support, and forms, as well as data in flight and at rest from unauthorized access throughout its lifecycle.
-
Enable Sustained Supply Chain Collaboration
Provide end-users and administrators easy-to-use protection embedded in existing applications like Gmail, Outlook, chat, support, and forms. Complement user protections with DLP rules that automatically enforce CUI protections.
-
Maintain Control and Access Visibility
Enable secure communication and data transfer between primes, subcontractors, and mission partners by implementing CMMC practices for Access Control, Audit, and Accountability. Revoke access immediately, set expiration, and reprovision on a per data object basis to maintain control of CUI.
Audit who has accessed CUI, when, and where. Integrate event logs with your SIEM such as qRadar, Splunk, or SolarWinds for advanced threat intelligence or export for analysis.
-
Automatic CUI Protections with Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Automatically enforce encryption and access controls that persist throughout supply chain workflows, by configuring DLP rules that detect CUI data before it is sent.
-
On-Prem to Hybrid Cloud Data Transfer
XQ Secure Gateway is the most secure, scalable, and simple to maintain offering for a completely auditable trail of your micro-segmented data wherever it travels. For the first time, connect GCP, AWS, and Azure seamlessly and compliantly for new powerful workflows.
For the first time, GCP, AWS, and Azure can be connected seamlessly while maintaining compliance and allowing you to unlock new and powerful workflows.
-
Chain of Custody for Visibility Across Environments
Each interaction with your data, whether is it IoT, CCTV, email, or chat, is logged with who, where, and when the access was attempted. XQ provides a complete auditable trail for CUI compliance.
-
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
Configure DLP rules that determine if CUI Data will leave white-listed domains, then automatically enforce encryption and authorization code input that save your organization from costly compliance violations.
Overall, XQ is a game-changing solution for organizations in the defense industry that need to achieve CMMC compliance while using Microsoft 365 and want robust data security and management features.
