Case Study: Nautilus Cables achieves NIST 800-171 compliance with Atomus

Nautilus Cables' NIST SP 800-171 Compliance Journey

Nautilus Cables, a custom cable manufacturer for the defense industry, faced the challenge of meeting stringent NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 7012 cybersecurity requirements to bid on critical contracts and access key industry groups. Their internal efforts and work with traditional IT consultants were unsuccessful, as they needed a partner that could fully implement and manage the complex compliance controls rather than just offer advice. This led them to seek the services of Atomus.

Atomus provided a complete solution by implementing, monitoring, and documenting all necessary cybersecurity controls for Nautilus Cables. The result was a smooth and timely onboarding process that built immense trust and achieved full compliance. This success allowed Nautilus to bid on and gain a competitive advantage for a major defense contract, which a non-compliant competitor could not access, and ensured their continued participation in the Undersea Technology Innovation Consortium.
