Simplifying Cybersecurity to Protect Your Reputation
Foundation for Growth
Executives agree that their business reputation is one of their most valuable assets, and a robust cybersecurity program helps reinforce your standing as a trustworthy partner. Customers, employees, investors, and vendors expect strong cybersecurity from you; this drives trust, and with that - growth.
Hard to Recover
It’s far less costly to strengthen your cybersecurity than to manage the reputational and financial devastation of a breach. In fact, some companies never recover from the hit. The threat landscape is increasing, but a solid cybersecurity plan with the right partner can reduce your risks.
Ready to get started on a cybersecurity journey that’s right sized for your business?
Cybersecurity impacts every facet of your business - from what you're focused on today to what you're building for tomorrow. AXIOTROP works closely with your team to ensure your business needs drive your cybersecurity program. Your reputation is too important to risk with a sub-par cybersecurity program.
Why Do Business Leaders Choose AXIOTROP?
AXIOTROP, like most cybersecurity teams, is technically sophisticated, but AXIOTROP is uniquely capable of translating complex compliance projects into bite-sized pieces in a way that C-suite executives and business leaders understand. As true compliance partners, we start with you and stay with you, reducing your risk and helping you achieve your business’s goals

Projects: We create discrete projects from the POA&M, linking each item to one or more projects so you can see what work must be accomplished to achieve CMMC compliance.
AXIOTROP will work with your team to:
-
Create a project portfolio detailing project objectives, potential technology solutions, estimated labor time and costs, and all impacted CMMC controls.
-
Create a prioritized technology implementation plan, and high-level overview (roadmap) to CMMC Level 2 certification.
Discovery: Identify key data, business processes, and technology. CMMC is about protecting data! Understanding which data to protect, how it flows in, is stored, used and flows out is critical to right-sizing your cybersecurity plan.
AXIOTROP will work with your team to:
-
Develop a high-level data flow diagram.
-
Implement a CMMC compliance platform to provide leadership with oversight and governance of all CMMC related activities in one place.
Risk Management: CMMC compliance is a journey not a destination. As the organization grows, business processes and technologies change, items will be uncovered that need to be added to the POA&M to close gaps. The Risk Management process assures continuous improvement and CMMC compliance.
AXIOTROP will work with your team to:
-
Schedule and hold Risk Management meetings to identify and document continuous improvement efforts.
-
Risk Management meetings also provide evidence of compliance work and process maturity.
-
Test the Incident Response Plan.
-
Create commitment matrix with daily, weekly, monthly cadence.
Validation: Prepare for the upcoming CMMC third party assessment. Our compliance software (Future Feed) tracks your requirements, documented SSP, and objective compliance evidence to put your assessor at ease right from the start.
AXIOTROP will work with your team to:
-
Collect and store evidence of cybersecurity maturity in Future Feed to demonstrate CMMC compliance.

Assess your organization on all NIST 171 controls and objectives.
-
Develop an updated network map, a list of all technology tools and services, a list of application vulnerabilities, and a detailed data flow diagram.
-
Create a detailed Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M).
Remediation: We guide you through the prioritized technology implementation plan. Our scalable remediation approach allows you to move forward at the expense and time commitment rate that matches your needs.
AXIOTROP will work with your team to:
-
Develop a training plan to increase CMMC awareness.
-
Select the technology solutions for each project through a vendor agnostic analysis.
-
Implement technology upgrades and security controls in accordance with the project plans.
-
Document your system security plan (SSP) including policies, plans, procedures, and lists.
What We Do
C-suite executives are inundated with breach warnings as well as recommendations to deploy myriad cybersecurity technologies and tools. In many cases, these technologies add complexity and don't lower risk. In fact, some may inhibit a company's ability to conduct business such as accepting customer purchase orders or payments electronically.
AXIOTROP starts with your C-suite’s business goals and priorities. We then assess the current cybersecurity program against those goals and priorities. This effort culminates in a high-level roadmap and detailed implementation plans that allow for right-size actions to strengthen your cybersecurity maturity posture, achieve compliance, and reduce the risk of a breach.
AXIOTROP's roadmaps are based on the U.S. government’s NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF), which is widely used and accepted across defense and other industries.
