On May 6, Exostar<\/a> announced it has been selected by the U.S. Army to participate on its Next-Gen Commercial Operations in Defended Enclaves (NCODE) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract.<\/p>\n

Small businesses in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) provide vital technological innovation in support of U.S. national security. However, they face persistent cybersecurity threats from criminal and nation-state actors, putting them and warfighters at risk.<\/p>\n

The NCODE initiative provides DIB small businesses with a streamlined, Department of Defense (DoD) funded vehicle to improve their cybersecurity posture and reduce mission risk through Verified External Service Providers (VESPs). By working with VESPs such as Exostar, small businesses can implement National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards including NIST Special Publication 800-171 (NIST SP 800-171) required to receive Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) accreditation and qualify for DoD contracts.<\/p>\n

Exostar\u2019s selection reflects its deep experience supporting small businesses across the DIB, along with its early achievement of\u00a0CMMC Level 2 accreditation\u00a0and FedRAMP Moderate Equivalent authorization. These capabilities power the company\u2019s\u00a0CMMC Ready Suite, a secure, cloud-based environment that enables organizations to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and more efficiently meet evolving cybersecurity requirements at scale, the company said<\/p>\n

\u201cPrograms like NCODE are critical to ensuring small businesses can participate fully and securely in priority Army initiatives,\u201d said\u00a0Richard Addi, president and chief executive officer at Exostar. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to support a scalable approach that helps suppliers meet cybersecurity requirements while accelerating mission readiness.\u201d<\/p>\n
