THE CHALLENGE
As XTO, Inc. continues to serve an expansive portfolio of customers, it became more and more important for them to be able to ensure all of their, as well as their customers’ proprietary information is kept protected. As the world of technology continues to evolve, so does the need to maintain secure systems and processes for the safety of your business’ sustainability and growth.
XTO, Inc. completed a NIST 800-171 Gap Assessment to identify areas where improvements were needed. To reach compliance to the standard, they recognized the need to seek out remediation services from an external service provider. At this time, XTO, Inc. reached out to TDO, part of the New York Manufacturing Extension Partnership and the MEP National Network™, to help explore funding assistance opportunities and to secure a resource to support their Cyber Security remediation needs.
MEP’S ROLE
When TDO received the call from XTO, the first action was to reach out to FuzeHub, the NY MEP Center, to inquire about the NY MEP Cyber Security Grant available to manufactures. TDO learned that XTO would be an eligible candidate and worked with a Third-Party Cyber Security Service Provider to develop a statement of work that would address the needs of XTO. TDO facilitated the contract with the Third-Party Contract and assisted XTO with the application for the NY MEP Cyber Security Grant.
