Meeting CMMC Compliance with JobBOSS² and M1 ERP Solutions

The JobBOSS² and M1 ERP systems are cloud-native solutions tailored to the unique needs of the manufacturing sector. JobBOSS² caters specifically to job shops and make-to-order manufacturers, while M1 serves small to medium-sized discrete manufacturers across various industries. These solutions are now equipped to help manufacturers comply with CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) 2.0 standards, a crucial requirement for those working with government contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

• CMMC 2.0 Compliance: Essential for manufacturers working with sensitive government data, ensuring secure handling of technical, financial, and personnel information.
