What can Kimmell Cybersecurity do for you?
OUR SERVICES
Our managed security services provide continuous protection against today’s evolving cyber threats. KCFS combines 24/7 security monitoring, endpoint protection, vulnerability management, threat detection, and incident response to help safeguard your systems and sensitive information.

We serve as an extension of your organization, helping reduce downtime and improve technology operations.
What is DFARS? DFARS stands for (the) Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement. This defines a set of cybersecurity regulations and standards required by the Department of Defense. Cybersecurity has always been a concern for contractors. The concern is much stronger for contractors with sensitive information known as “Controlled Unclassified Information” or CUI. Lack of DFARS compliance will result in loss of current and future contracts. This can also hurt the company’s reputation.
CMMC stands for the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification and is designed for non-government computer systems to protect CUI data. This protects CUI with 110 controls in 14 groups, called families. CMMC contains 3 levels of certification, which will give the contractor a score that will determine your ability to bid on certain contracts and requires a third-party audit.
Kimmell Cybersecurity is able to audit your company to make sure its compliant with all of the stringent controls and standards.
Kimmell Cybersecurity is committed to safeguarding impartiality in all its CMMC assessing activities. The documented structure, policies, and procedures of the management system have been developed with the objective of ensuring impartiality.
We help organizations that handle protected health information by reviewing the administrative, physical and technical safeguards they have in place to protect the security of the information. By conducting these risk assessments, we can uncover potential weaknesses in their security policies, processes and systems.
Risk assessments also help providers address vulnerabilities, potentially preventing electronic health information data breaches or other adverse security events. A vigorous risk assessment process supports improved security of patient health data.

Companies involved with the processing, transmission, or storage of credit card data must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).
We help your company comply with the latest PCI DSS 3.0 standards to ensure a more secure environment which the organization and the customers can trust on for processing the credit card transactions.
Make sure your company has regular penetration tests and vulnerability scans performed by external experts to identify any weaknesses in your security program. Avoid using internal teams that might have a biased perspective. Protect your organization from the insider threat – consider using ethical hacking teams who have wide ranging experience and an up-to-date view of what vulnerabilities exist in other organizations.
Our vulnerability assessment offers an effective and efficient way to manage the vulnerabilities of your organization’s computer systems and network.
The automated process of proactively identifying vulnerabilities of IT systems in a network to determine if and how a system can be exploited.
Vulnerability scanning employs software that seeks out operating system and application flaws based on a database of known issues, testing systems for these flaws and generating a report of the findings that an organization can use to improve security.
KCFS helps organizations investigate, contain, and recover from cybersecurity incidents.
Our team supports ransomware, compromised accounts, data breaches, insider threats, business email compromise, and other incidents requiring rapid technical investigation and response.
