As the cybersecurity landscape for federal contractors continues to evolve, CMMC Day 2025 arrived at the perfect time — bringing together leaders from across government, industry, and cybersecurity to discuss what’s next for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program. Quzara was proud to be part of this critical conversation, showcasing how our Cybertorch™ platform is helping the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) meet compliance demands while strengthening their security posture.
Why CMMC Day Matters to the DIB
The rollout of CMMC is placing new emphasis on not only achieving cybersecurity compliance, but sustaining it through continuous assurance. For contractors within the DIB, the stakes are high: failure to meet CMMC requirements can mean losing contract eligibility, while compliance opens doors to long-term growth and trust within the DoD supply chain.
That’s why events like CMMC Day are so important. They offer a platform to share best practices, clarify expectations, and connect with solution providers who understand the complex needs of regulated environments.
Our Presence at CMMC Day
Quzara’s team was on site and energized — ready to engage with attendees, demonstrate our solutions, and offer one-on-one insights into the challenges facing today’s defense contractors. Visitors to our booth got a first-hand look at how Cybertorch™, our FedRAMP High-Ready Managed Detection and Response (MDR) platform, supports organizations in tackling compliance frameworks like:
- CMMC 2.0 (Levels 1–3)
- NIST SP 800-171 and 800-172
- DFARS Clause 252.204-7012
- FedRAMP High & DoD IL4 cloud requirements
We had the opportunity to meet with cybersecurity leaders, IT directors, and compliance professionals — all navigating various stages of CMMC readiness. The conversations were dynamic and centered around the need for proactive security, control inheritance, and continuous monitoring in today’s high-stakes threat environment.
Powered by Cybertorch™: Built for Compliance and Resilience
At the heart of our presence was Cybertorch™, a purpose-built solution designed to meet the strictest requirements of federal cybersecurity programs.
Key capabilities include:
- 24/7 monitoring and incident response by U.S. citizen–only, CONUS-based analysts
- Inheritance of 40+ NIST SP 800-171 controls through our managed services
- Integrated SIEM/SOAR, vulnerability management, and log retention
- Seamless alignment with FedRAMP and CMMC documentation needs
Cybertorch™ was developed with one mission in mind: to help government contractors achieve compliance without sacrificing agility or security depth.
Key Takeaways from the Event
Three big themes emerged from CMMC Day 2025:
- Clarity is still needed: Many contractors are still uncertain about exact timelines, assessment readiness, and the transition from self-attestation to third-party audits.
- Continuous monitoring is essential: One-time compliance isn’t enough. DIB orgs are seeking long-term partners to support continuous risk management.
- Trusted partnerships are rising in value: Attendees expressed strong interest in turnkey solutions that offer expert guidance, control mapping, and managed response in one platform — like Cybertorch™.
We were proud to answer these questions and share how Quzara helps contractors move beyond checkbox compliance toward lasting cybersecurity maturity.
