MISI and the Purdue University Manufacturing Extension Partnership Execute a CMMC Compliance Agreement

COLUMBIA, Md., Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MISI and the Purdue University Manufacturing Extension Partnership (Purdue MEP) executed an agreement to offer MISI's sensor grid and AWS GovCloud hosted CMMC continuous cybersecurity compliance and threat monitoring solutions to Purdue MEP customers.

• CMMC-AB Registered Practitioner (RP) and experienced NIST compliance virtual coaching. MISI is a CMMC-AB Registered provider Organization (RPO).
• Since the launch of the service late last year, MISI has signed up over 50 defense industrial base suppliers across the US as well as working relationships with other Manufacturing Extension Partnership organizations.
