NetSuite CMMC

StratoKey delivers technical controls to help organizations meet CMMC requirements when using NetSuite. By utilizing a patented data protection engine, StratoKey stores your NetSuite CMMC regulated CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) and FCI (Federal Contract Information) in your own on-premise or cloud hosted (FedRAMP) storage. When a trusted user accesses the CUI or FCI StratoKey automatically substitutes back the regulated data. StratoKey data protection capabilities, paired with monitoring and security policy enforcement helps organizations meet NIST 800-53 and NIST 800-171 requirements for CMMC compliance.

StratoKey provides data protection products that help organizations satisfy specific NIST SP 800-171 controls and store regulated data on-premises or in their FedRAMP-authorized environment. It is not a C3PAO and does not provide CMMC compliance advice. For advice, assessment and certification, consult an accredited C3PAO via the Cyber AB Marketplace.

Meet Your CMMC Compliance Requirements

NetSuite’s robust capabilities for global business operations also introduce CMMC compliance challenges for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI). NetSuite is considered a Cloud Service Provider (CSP); the responsibility for CMMC compliance flows down to subcontractors and CSPs like NetSuite. This means that prime contractor organizations must ensure the compliance of CSPs and subcontractors handling CUI and FCI or risk non-compliance. The less CUI and FCI exposed the smaller the compliance scope. This is where StratoKey comes in, providing granular control and visibility over access to CMMC-regulated FCI and CUI.

FedRAMP Storage for CUI

If NetSuite processes, stores, or transmits CUI, as the CSP they should be FedRAMP Moderate Authorized, or meet an equivalent security baseline. A solution is to remove CUI from their system and replace it with tokens.

The StratoKey Tokenization Engine for FedRAMP Storage

StratoKey's tokenization engine can keep CUI out of NetSuite. StratoKey carefully extracts your CUI before it's dispatched to NetSuite. This CUI extraction process is paired with a storage process, that secures your CUI in an encrypted vault. StratoKey is deployed into your infrastructure, such as a FedRAMP approved environment. This extraction of sensitive data helps organizations meet CMMC compliance requirements as no CUI is exposed or accessible to NetSuite. 

  • Store CUI in a FedRAMP-authorized environment such as AWS GovCloud, Microsoft Azure Government and GCC High.
  • Reduces scope of compliance by removing CUI from NetSuite
  • Supports data residency and sovereignty whilst continuing to use NetSuite, by storing sensitive data in specific, controlled environments.
  • Maintains data integrity and operations, NetSuite functions as normal, while still keeping sensitive data protected.

End-to-End Encryption to Secure CUI and FCI in NetSuite

Compliance for CMMC level 2 and level 3 requires FIPS-validated cryptography to protect CUI (NIST 800-171r3). StratoKey encrypts CUI and FCI end-to-end using FIPS 140-3 validated encryption, this provides organizations control over who can access CUI through the supply-chain including NetSuite employees.

  • Secures CUI and FCI in NetSuite to NIST 800-53 and NIST 800-171 standards.
  • Encrypts data before it leaves your environment for NetSuite to control "flow-down" responsibility.
  • Provides encryption at arms-length from NetSuite.
  • Enables the separation of key management system from encrypted data in NetSuite per NIST standards.

StratoKey is Your NetSuite Compatible Cloud Data Protection Stack for CMMC Compliance 

The StratoKey CDP platform provides features beyond encryption and tokenization. CDP features work together to layer security controls, helping organizations meet a wider range of CMMC compliance requirements in NetSuite, not merely a small subset.

Securing CUI and FCI in NetSuite for an Aerospace Parts Manufacturer

A large manufacturer of aerospace parts uses NetSuite’s cloud ERP to manage global operations. The company routinely handles CUI and FCI, including sensitive designs and compliance documents, which must be securely managed and shared across international teams and subcontractors.

CMMC Challenge

To remain compliant, the company must achieve CMMC Level 2 compliance by ensuring that only authorized personnel can access CUI and FCI within NetSuite, preventing inadvertent exposure to offshore or non-cleared staff, and storing sensitive information exclusively in FedRAMP-authorized environments rather than directly in NetSuite. Additionally, the company must maintain detailed audit trails and enforce NIST 800-53 controls for all activities involving CUI and FCI.

StratoKey Solution

StratoKey integrates seamlessly with NetSuite to help the aerospace parts manufacturer meet CMMC requirements tokenizing CUI and FCI before it enters NetSuite, storing sensitive data in a FedRAMP-authorized vault controlled by the organization. The platform enforces granular access controls to ensure only authorized users can view regulated information, provides real-time monitoring and comprehensive audit trails for all CUI and FCI activity. As a result, the company confidently secures sensitive data, maintains compliance, and upholds its reputation as a trusted defense and aerospace supplier while leveraging NetSuite’s robust global operations capabilities.
