CISA Issues Shields Up Warning
In light of the heightened risk of cyber warfare following Russia's invasion of Ukraine this week, JAMIS is closely following the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) “Shields Up” guidance. CISA recommends that all organizations - regardless of size - adopt a heightened posture when it comes to cybersecurity and protecting their most critical assets.
While there are no specific or credible cyber threats to JAMIS customers or the United States at this time, Russia’s has been involved in cyber-attacks on Ukrainian government and critical infrastructure organizations, that may impact organizations both within and beyond the region, particularly in the wake of sanctions imposed by the United States and our Allies. CISA advises that every organization, large and small, must be prepared to respond to disruptive cyber activity.
CISA’s guidelines include actions that will: reduce the likelihood of a damaging cyber intrusion, take steps to quickly detect a potential intrusion, ensure that the organization is prepared to respond if an intrusion occurs, and maximize the organization's resilience to a destructive cyber incident.

JAMIS Security and Compliance:
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)
The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) recently updated the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program with a version 2.0. The idea behind this initiative is to merge several cybersecurity control standards, including NIST SP 800-171, into a single, unified standard. The DOD will ultimately place CMMC requirements into its contracts, and the CMMC Accreditation Body (CMMC-AB) is the third-party entity that issues the accreditations to assessors. Once CMMC 2.0 is codified through rulemaking, the Department will require companies to adhere to the revised CMMC framework according to requirements set forth in regulation.
JAMIS is actively incorporating the CMMC 2.0 framework as it becomes available into its JAMIS Cloud compliance and security posture.
Secure Code
With approximately 30 percent of all breaches occurring as a result of a vulnerability at the application layer, software purchasers are demanding more insight into the security of the software they are buying. CA Veracode Verified empowers JAMIS to demonstrate its commitment to creating secure software. Organizations that have their secure development practice validated, and their application accepted into the Standard Tier, have demonstrated that the following security gates have been implemented into their software development practice:
- Assesses first-party code with static analysis
- Documents that the application does not allow flaws in first-party code
- Provides developers with remediation guidance when new flaws are introduced

NIST SP 800-171 (DFARS 252.204-7012)
The JAMIS Cloud Services Team has applied the required risk management framework including conducting the activities of security categorization, security control selection and implementation, security control assessment, system authorization, and security control monitoring, and has taken the necessary steps in meeting data security standards and regulations of NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 252.204-7012 for our customers.
Defense contractors routinely process, store and transmit sensitive federal information to assist federal agencies in carrying out their core missions and business operations. Federal information is also shared with state and local governments, universities and independent research organizations.
To keep this information secure, Executive Order 13556 established the Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Program to standardize the way the executive branch handles unclassified information that requires protection, such as personally identifiable information.
JAMIS has performed all of the mandatory procedures to meet the requirements of the DFARS guidelines and meet or exceed the information security requirements established for Department of Defense (DoD) contractors.
SSAE-18 SOC 1 and SOC 2
SSAE (Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements) SOC (Service Organization Control) reports were created by the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) in order to set compliance standards and keep pace with the rapid growth of cloud computing and businesses outsourcing their services to third-party providers.
The SSAE 18 SOC 1 report focuses on a service provider’s processes and controls that could impact their client’s internal control over their financial reporting (ICFR). The SOC 2 is a separate report that focuses on controls at a service provider relevant to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a system. It ensures that your data is kept private and secure while in storage and in transit and that it is available for you to access at any time.
The SOC 1 and SOC 2 reports come in two forms: Type I and Type II. Type I reports evaluate whether proper controls are in place at a specific point in time. Type II reports are done over a period of time to verify operational efficiency and effectiveness of the controls.
Multi-Factor Authentication
The U.S. Department of Defense’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) will require that companies implement Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) to protect “controlled unclassified information” (CUI). JAMIS Prime version 7.0 is the only GovCon ERP offering native Multi-Factor Authentication as a turnkey solution. We think it’s essential that your organization take the necessary steps to keep your data safe and secure. With JAMIS, you only have to enable the feature, without the hassle of implementing a 3rd party tool.
