FAQ

What is an SDVOSB and why does it matter?

DMCS Labs is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business registered in SAM.gov (UEI VY5NL4PNFEW9, CAGE 9YE50). It makes us eligible for federal set-aside contracts and reflects the discipline and accountability we bring to every engagement.

Do you offer 24/7 SOC monitoring?

Our focus is offensive security, product and AI security, compliance, secure engineering, vCISO, and incident-response readiness — not 24/7 managed SOC monitoring. We help you build readiness and can advise on monitoring strategy.

What is CMMC and do I need it?

CMMC 2.0 is the Department of Defense’s certification for protecting FCI and CUI. If you hold or pursue DoD contracts involving that data, you will likely need to demonstrate NIST SP 800-171 compliance. We provide full readiness support.

What does a vCISO actually do?

A virtual CISO provides fractional security leadership — strategy, governance, compliance ownership, risk management, and incident readiness — without the cost of a full-time executive.

How is AI security different from regular cybersecurity?

AI introduces new attack surfaces such as prompt injection, model and data poisoning, and agentic abuse. We secure AI/ML and LLM systems across their lifecycle, anchored to NIST AI RMF, MITRE ATLAS, and the OWASP LLM Top 10.

Can you help us get audit-ready for HIPAA, SOC 2, or ISO 27001?

Yes. We run gap assessments, remediate, build documentation, and support you through audit for HIPAA, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and more.
