Partner with Totem
MSPs, MSSPs, Consultants, and vCISOs supporting the Defense Industrial Base have partnered with Totem Technologies. Why?
Totem Technologies is not a “Johnny-come-lately” compliance company. We’ve been doing business as a DoD contractor ourselves since 2015, and helping our peers since 2017, way before the DoD’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) was even a thought. Our CMMC planning platform, Totem™, was built to ensure small- and medium-sized businesses like us could achieve CMMC compliance.
