Challenge

An aviation and engineering company headquartered in Cincinnati has always maintained strict regulation, compliance and certification standards to keep current. Still, their customers have recently begun to require that all vendors meet Level 2/Version 2 Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). With this change, the company needed Cincinnati cloud migration services. 

This certification is required to increase the security of data and communications for the company and for its customers.  Without a Level 2/Version 2 CMMC certification, the customer can request an audit of compliance with a standard CMMC cert. Failing the audit would impact the company’s ability to fulfill current contracts and bid on future work.

Solution

An IT director at the local aviation and engineering company sat down with Afidence, a managed services provider that specializes in Cincinnati cloud migration services. Afidence assisted the company’s in-house technology services team to migrate their staff to a FedRamp certified cloud-hosted service from Microsoft, a government community cloud high (GCCH).  This service substantially meets the CMMC requirements being requested of them.

The benefit of having the GCCH service is that it provides a more secure environment for the organization, using tools that are familiar to employees (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, MS Teams) for an easy transition. Additionally, storage provided using OneDrive and SharePoint allows the company to securely meet government standards and enables better collaboration with customers. By using a cloud platform that helps the company meet CMMC requirements, they can continue meeting their customers’ needs.

Result

The aviation and engineering company was able to benefit from the Cincinnati cloud migration services from Afidence by meeting the certification requirements of their customer base. The company was very grateful for a seamless transition from on-prem servers to the cloud, which helped them not only become CMMC certified but also saved their business from any potential data loss or disruption.

The Cincinnati cloud migration services provided by Afidence assisted the company with the development of standardized procedures for transitioning from an on-prem network to cloud services. Additionally, integration and coordination with the company’s in-house technology team helped to quickly and efficiently manage migrations of personnel and services. Documentation has been developed for the new cloud services that were introduced to further secure the cloud environment for the company.
