GovSky has officially launched its software platform today, aiming to revolutionize compliance processes for businesses and streamline their focus on national defense.
Founded by a team of experts in compliance and security, GovSky is dedicated to cutting compliance time and costs by half for its customers. The platform offers essential features such as implementation guidance, project management, evidence organization, and document automation.
Conor McClintock, Co-Founder and CEO of GovSky, explained the company’s mission, stating, “We established GovSky because we recognized the formidable challenges most Defense Industrial Base companies face in achieving and passing a CMMC audit—challenges stemming from complexity, time constraints, and high costs. Fortunately, our software optimizes many compliance workflows to address these issues directly. Our objective is to assist customers in achieving and maintaining compliance swiftly and cost-effectively, thereby safeguarding their businesses from potential threats.”
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a rigorous cybersecurity compliance standard mandated by the U.S. Department of Defense. It ensures that government contractors handling sensitive information meet specified cybersecurity criteria, ranging from foundational cybersecurity practices to advanced security measures. The rollout of CMMC across government contracts is slated to span several years, impacting over 500,000 companies within the Defense Industrial Base in the United States.
Implementing CMMC and successfully passing an audit can be arduous, costly, and time-intensive, typically taking between 6 to 18 months and costing upwards of $200,000 for small businesses. GovSky aims to alleviate this burden, allowing businesses to achieve compliance efficiently and focus on their pivotal role in national defense.
With the platform now available to the public, GovSky plans to onboard its backlog of customers while enhancing its functionality to further save time for users.
GovSky has secured $2.5 million in funding to date, with support from prominent investors including Peterson Ventures, Revolution, SaaS Ventures, Sequoia, and others.
