The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a Department of Defense (DoD) framework that requires defense contractors and subcontractors to implement cybersecurity practices commensurate with the sensitivity of the information they handle. CMMC builds on NIST SP 800-171 and adds third-party assessment requirements to verify that organizations meet the required security controls. For companies in the defense industrial base, CMMC compliance is becoming a prerequisite for contract eligibility.

Crushable helps organizations prepare for and maintain CMMC compliance by deploying a managed security stack that directly addresses CMMC control families. SentinelOne provides endpoint security, extended detection and response (XDR), and identity protection — addressing endpoint protection, incident response, and audit and accountability controls. Qualys delivers continuous vulnerability management, policy compliance scanning, and asset inventory — supporting vulnerability management, risk assessment, and configuration management control families. Avanan by Check Point secures email and collaboration platforms against phishing, malware, and account takeover — addressing access control and system and communications protection requirements. Acronis provides encrypted, immutable backups with rapid recovery — supporting media protection and system and information integrity controls.

Crushable's Azure development services support CMMC through the design and deployment of compliant cloud environments, including Azure Government and GCC High regions. Crushable implements identity and access management through Microsoft Entra ID, enforces least-privilege access policies, configures audit logging and monitoring, and deploys Infrastructure as Code to ensure consistent, repeatable, and auditable environments aligned with CMMC requirements.

The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) are administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). EAR governs the export, reexport, and transfer of dual-use items — commercial items that have potential military or proliferation applications — as well as certain military items not covered by ITAR. EAR compliance requires organizations to implement controls that prevent unauthorized access to and distribution of controlled items and technical data.

Crushable supports EAR compliance by implementing access controls, comprehensive audit logging, and infrastructure that enforces data handling policies aligned with EAR requirements. Crushable configures Azure environments with data loss prevention policies, access restrictions based on user identity and location, and automated compliance reporting to ensure organizations maintain visibility into how controlled data is accessed and transmitted.
