About Atomus

Atomus was founded in 2019 as part of a DoD initiative to research and develop cutting-edge cybersecurity for the Department of Defense.

While selling our technology to multiple branches within the Department of Defense, our military customers started asking about the NIST 800-171, DFARS 7012, ITAR, and upcoming CMMC cybersecurity requirements in our contracts. Through this process, it led us to understand the complexities that were expected of a small business to become compliant.

After speaking with dozens of vendors in search of a solution, we discovered there were many repetitive, time-consuming, and costly tasks associated with these requirements that could be automated using software.

We initially built Atomus Aegis for internal use within our company. However, we soon realized that many other small businesses encounter the same problem. As of today, Atomus is being used by almost 100 defense contractors and major customers in the Department of Defense to meet NIST 800-171, DFARS 7012, ITAR, and upcoming CMMC compliance requirements.
