Overview of Sustainment's Secure File Sharing

Sustainment's Secure File Sharing Capabilities
Sustainment has integrated secure file sharing capability into our platform to reduce the burden of compliance costs on small businesses and to help improve the overall cybersecurity of our nation’s manufacturing ecosystem, furthering our mission of connecting and serving the U.S. SME Manufacturing Base.
Secure file sharing is a growing requirement for manufacturing businesses serving the U.S. government and is becoming increasingly important in many commercial markets due to an increase in cybersecurity attacks in supply chains.
A Secure Platform For Vendor Discovery & Communication
Not only is the Sustainment platform secure to FedRAMP moderate, ITAR, and other CUI standards, we also provide the ability for companies to easily find compliant vendors who can perform specific manufacturing processes, and rapidly onboard vendors to a secure file sharing process directly on our platform.

How does Sustainment help me find compliant or certified vendors?
Many of our users are contractually obligated to ensure that their subcontractors meet certain cybersecurity standards, so Sustainment provides its community the ability to list certifications and upload proof of compliance. Sustainment Professional customers can then select and prioritize certifications using our best-fit sourcing algorithm to scout for compliant partners and invite them directly into a secure network.
