Case Study: Electronic Components achieves NIST 800-171 and CMMC compliance with Atomus

How Electronic Components Proved Cybersecurity Compliance to General Dynamics

Electronic Components, a specialty distributor of electronic components, faced immense pressure from its major customer, General Dynamics, to achieve NIST 800-171 and CMMC compliance and improve its SPRS score. After struggling for 18 months to make progress with an in-house approach, the company turned to the vendor Atomus for a solution to meet these stringent cybersecurity requirements.

Atomus provided a solution that automated the implementation and documentation of technical controls and offered expert guidance. As a result, Electronic Components achieved more progress in just two weeks with Atomus than in the prior 18 months, successfully improving its SPRS score. This built greater trust with General Dynamics and provided a competitive advantage to attract new defense industry business.
