Advice from a Chief Operating Officer on navigating the challenges of compliance
As a Chief Operating Officer, Daniel oversees operations at Sedaro. One of the complex requirements Sedaro faces is becoming compliant with NIST 800-171 and CMMC, which can be very technical. Daniel’s approach at Sedaro involved building a high-level understanding of the requirements before finding a trusted partner within the Aerospace and Defense industry to implement, manage, and provide advice to the company.
While looking for a trusted partner, Daniel was looking for:
1. A trusted industry expert
2. A solution for small businesses
