Case Study: CMMC Compliance for Manufacturers

See how Charles IT helped a manufacturer strengthen cybersecurity, address CMMC requirements, and build a stronger foundation for protecting sensitive information.

The Challenge

This engagement was completed by our Rhode Island team (formerly MERIT Solutions), now part of Charles IT.

Droitcour, a nearly century-old manufacturing company, produces high-precision components for military, submarine, and aerospace applications—where accuracy and security are equally critical. As cybersecurity requirements evolved, particularly with the introduction of CMMC standards, Droitcour needed to transition from legacy systems to a modern, secure infrastructure capable of meeting strict compliance requirements.

The challenge was not only achieving compliance, but doing so without disrupting operations or compromising the precision and reliability their production demands.

The Solution

We implemented a comprehensive cybersecurity and compliance strategy designed to modernize Droitcour’s environment while aligning with CMMC requirements.

This included:

  • Advanced cybersecurity solutions to protect sensitive data and systems
  • CMMC compliance management to guide and support certification readiness
  • Cloud infrastructure support to improve flexibility and security
  • Server management to ensure performance and reliability
  • Daily IT operations support to maintain stability across systems
  • A structured transition from legacy technology to secure, modern infrastructure
  • Ongoing compliance monitoring and reporting

The Results

With a secure and compliant IT environment in place, Droitcour successfully elevated its cybersecurity posture while maintaining operational efficiency.

The improvements led to:

  • Alignment with CMMC compliance requirements
  • Strengthened protection of sensitive government and defense-related data
  • Improved system reliability and performance
  • A seamless transition from legacy systems to modern infrastructure
  • Increased confidence in meeting regulatory and contractual obligations
