Case Study: RIB U.S. Cost achieves CMMC Level 2 certification with Summit 7's Commander Managed GRC

RIB U.S. Cost achieves CMMC Level 2 certification with Summit 7 after a 2021 breach

RIB U.S. Cost, a provider of construction cost estimating and project controls, faced significant pressure to meet CMMC Level 2 requirements after a 2021 data breach. With limited internal resources and informal documentation processes, they struggled to formalize a cybersecurity program aligned with NIST SP 800-171. They partnered with Summit 7 for a managed solution.

Summit 7 implemented its Commander Managed GRC service, along with Guardian and Vigilance, working closely with RIB U.S. Cost to develop tailored policies and procedures. This partnership enabled the company to achieve CMMC Level 2 certification in early 2025 without expanding their internal security team. The solution provided a measurable return on investment, as the cost of the breach forensics had exceeded a full year of Summit 7's services in just one month.
