Federal contracts require proven cybersecurity compliance, and Aalyria needed a program that could stand up to a future audit while its engineering work kept moving. To close that gap, Aalyria partnered with Echelon Risk + Cyber to build a governance program backed by real evidence and hands-on technical support.

“Echelon brought real structure and momentum to our CMMC effort. They built the System Security Plan with us, organized our evidence, and rolled up their sleeves on the ​technical side.”

- Brian Barrit, Chief Technology Officer, Aalyria

In this case study, you'll discover how Aalyria:

  • Authored a complete CMMC policy suite and System Security Plan aligned to NIST SP 800-171
  • Centralized control status and evidence tracking in Vanta to support a future third-party assessment
  • Closed technical and procedural gaps through embedded security engineering, not just documentation
  • Validated response readiness through a scenario-based tabletop exercise and CMMC training

 

The results: 

A documented program with the evidence to back it up, a workforce trained and ready, and a foundation built to sustain control effectiveness well beyond the initial engagement.
