Praetorian Secure is proud to be a pre-qualified Vendor for the Michigan Defense CyberSmart Program (MEDC)

INTRODUCTION

The Michigan CyberSmart Program was created to help Michigan businesses with their Department of Defense (DoD) cybersecurity compliance. This program was also designed to help save our nation’s federal supply chain—and your business.

Praetorian Secure and The Michigan Defense Center (MDC/MEDC) are dedicated to supporting SMB’s throughout the State of Michigan by providing grant funding and cybersecurity services for NIST 800-171 and CMMC compliance up to the amount of $22,500. This grant was designed to address any deficiencies in IT infrastructure, and to help Michigan SMBs become fully compliant with DoD cybersecurity requirements.

Praetorian Secure is a qualified vendor and we are looking to assist local Michigan businesses with this fantastic initiative that is sponsored by the State of Michigan and as part, we are doing our best to put the word out to the masses and help offset compliance costs.

Phase 2

After completing Phase 1 Gap Analysis the next steps are as follows:

- Have us (your vendor) submit the SOW to the Michigan Defense Center for review
- Before the grant money can be received you will have to pay 25% cost matching commitment of the total value of SOW
- Once approved the project will begin and we will complete it in a timely matter (agreed upon in SOW)
- When completed the grant funding covering 75% of the proposed SOW budget will be distributed to your selected vendor directly by the State of Michigan to pay for most of your project
