How scaleups can benefit from ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials

In today’s threat environment, it’s not if you’ll be targeted, it’s when.  That’s why WGS Systems is advancing toward Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). But for us, this milestone is more than compliance, it’s the continuation of a journey we began years ago.  We’ve invested heavily in the systems, processes, and people required to achieve certification. From building secure IT infrastructure, to refining our workflows, to empowering our teams with the right training, every step has been deliberate. That investment ensures we not only meet the standards, but that we’re positioned to exceed them, protecting sensitive data across every mission and collaboration.  CMMC represents the next step in an ongoing commitment: delivering solutions operators can trust, not just in performance, but in security. Because cybersecurity isn’t an afterthought, it’s mission assurance.  In defense, there’s no room for uncertainty.  At WGS Systems, We Listen. We Deliver. And when it comes to cybersecurity, we don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk.  #CMMC #Cybersecurity #DefenseIndustry #DefenseInnovation #WeListenWeDeliver #entrepreneurship #govcon #governmentcontracting #rfp #procurement #federalcontracting #signalsintelligence #CybersecurityAwareness

💡 Many companies see FedRAMP and CMMC as “checkbox compliance.” But here’s the reality: ✅ FedRAMP = Access to federal contracts. ✅ CMMC = Ability to win DoD work. ✅ Both = Doors open to billion-dollar markets. If your organization hasn’t mapped compliance into your growth strategy, you’re leaving opportunities on the table. Cybersecurity isn’t a cost center—it’s a revenue enabler. #Compliance #Cybersecurity #FedRAMP #CMMC #BusinessGrowth
