Air-gapped, on-premise, and hybrid cloud MFA
MFA for NIST 800-171 and CMMC 2.0
Converged credentials
SurePassID is a leading provider of multi-factor authentication (MFA) compliance solutions to the U.S. defense industrial base (DIB).
Take the pain out of DoD MFA requirements with SurePassID
The U.S. defense industrial base faces unprecedented cybersecurity challenges. Employees, contractors, and partners need access to applications and data across the IT/OT spectrum, often while working remotely using their own devices. Meanwhile penetration attempts using stolen credentials and insider attacks are at an all-time high, threatening Intellectual Property (IP), Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Classified Information (CI), and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
This has led to multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirements that defense contractors must meet:
- Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 Levels 2 and 3
- Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) NIST 800-171 Self-Assessment (DFARS Interim Rule 252.204–7019)
- Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.204-21
- Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 252.204-7012
- Cyber Liability Insurance (CLI)
SurePassID specializes in advanced, deploy-anywhere MFA solutions for compliance with DoD MFA requirements. Customers from Top 5 prime contractors to small manufacturing companies rely upon us. You can too.

Frequently asked questions about SurePassID MFA for the U.S. DIB
What makes SurePassID experts in MFA for defense?
SurePassID has been providing air-gapped, on-premise, and hybrid cloud MFA solutions for defense contractors since 2012.
50% of our customer base is comprised of companies that fall within the U.S. DIB.
We don't talk about what we do for our defense customers - silence isn't just golden, it's our ironclad policy - but you can see some of their logos above.
I need an MFA solution yesterday. How long does it take to deploy SurePassID?
Cloud deployments can occur same day.
On-premise and air-gapped deployments will vary depending on the complexity of your requirements.
Regardless, our Customer Success team will be with you every step of the way.
Phishing-resistant MFA - am I required to implement it?
It depends.
For most CMMC 2.0 Level 2 or 3 compliance, no. If you handle highly sensitive CUI, maybe. It will depend on the DoD contract. Always consult your compliance department or outside expert.
For defense contractors that are covered entities and subject to flowdown requirements for OMB M-22-09, yes - with a caveat. Here the key language is "wherever possible." Phishing-resistant MFA is not always possible in highly-constrained environments, meaning you may not need a 100% phishing-resistant solution across all user access. Again, always consult your compliance department or outside expert.
For cyber liability insurance (CLI), maybe. Depending on the size and sophistication of your company, your insurer may incentivize - or require - phishing-resistant MFA in order to qualify for coverage. This requirement is already impacting large enterprises in the Fortune 1000. We expect to see more companies in the U.S. DIB impacted by it in the future.
Can SurePassID integrate with my IAM solution?
As a SAML 2.0 IdP, SurePassID easily and seamlessly adds MFA to any existing IAM solution, such as Okta or Ping Identity.
