Reduce Risk and Secure Your Government Contracts
If you’re in the Department of Defense (DoD) supply chain, you need to understand and comply with cybersecurity regulations required of any companies that “Process, store or transmit Controlled Unclassified Information.” Failure to comply can cause the termination of your DoD contracts.
For all manufacturers, defense subcontractors or not, IT security is critical.
Polaris MEP can help you assess your current operations and evaluate risk, determine whether you need to comply with additional requirements, and provide recommendations and resources for how best to achieve compliance. You’ll receive a plan tailored for your needs and goals, your internal capabilities and budgets.
According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the manufacturing industry is the second most targeted industry based on the number of reported cyber attacks.

Cybersecurity breaches aren’t just for large businesses. No business is too small to be hacked. Over 70% of reported breaches actually affected businesses with 100 employees or less. You might be surprised to learn that represents over 90% of Rhode Island manufacturers!
