Ascolta’s expertise in cyber security will enable customers to achieve CMMC Good Cyber Hygiene rating, Level 3 certification quickly to support their government contracts,” said Wayne Hall, President and CTO of Ascolta. “Instead of starting from scratch hardening your infrastructure to meet CMMC requirements, Ascolta provides NIST SP 800-171 compliant secure cloud environments, designed to protect customer data to DFARS standards.
