An Aeronautical manufacturer adds value and reduces risk with a global business impact analysis (BIA)

A large Aerospace manaufacturer embarks on a global business impact analysis to understand and mitigate post pandemic risk to revenue.

THE PROBLEM

‍

The federal government asked a leading manufacturer of space and aeronautical parts to perform a business impact analysis as a condition of a contract renewal.

A new rule passed in the fall of 2020 requires DoD contractors and subcontractors to complete a cybersecurity self-assessment.

The rule, technically an interim rule, amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, or DFARS, by requiring the implementation of a DoD Assessment Methodology and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework to ensure unclassified information within the DoD supply chain is protected.

The deadline was tight, the team working on the project needed security clearances, and the previous BIA focused almost entirely on facilities.
