Teramis, a platform specializing in Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) discovery, validation, and continuous monitoring, announced the appointment of Stacy Bostjanick, former Chief of Defense Industrial Base (DIB) Cybersecurity within the Office of the Department of Defense Chief Information Officer, to its Advisory Board.
Bostjanick brings over three decades of federal acquisition, cybersecurity, and defense contracting experience. During her government career, she was instrumental in developing, evolving, and implementing the Department of Defense's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, shaping cybersecurity requirements across the Defense Industrial Base. As Chief of DIB Cybersecurity, she served as the Department's focal point for implementing CMMC across more than 220,000 companies and led efforts to guide the program through federal rulemaking.
Brandon Sessions, President of Teramis, stated, "Stacy's leadership has been instrumental in advancing cybersecurity across the Defense Industrial Base and helping organizations understand and navigate CMMC requirements. Her experience, insight, and perspective will be invaluable as Teramis continues to help defense contractors and compliance partners accurately identify, validate, and continuously monitor Controlled Unclassified Information across their environments."
Teramis was built to address the challenge of knowing exactly where CUI resides. The platform enables organizations to discover CUI across Microsoft 365, file shares, endpoints, email systems, and other repositories, producing evidence to support scoping, enclave design, assessment preparation, and ongoing compliance. Bostjanick noted, "One of the greatest challenges organizations face is obtaining accurate visibility into where sensitive information actually exists. Effective cybersecurity and compliance programs depend on sound data and informed decisions. Teramis is helping organizations replace assumptions with evidence, which is increasingly important as CMMC requirements become operational."
Before leading DIB cybersecurity, Bostjanick held senior acquisition and contracting leadership positions, including Head of Contracting Activity for the Defense Intelligence Agency and Senior Contracting Officer supporting major missile defense programs, overseeing billions in defense contracts. The appointment comes as defense contractors focus on demonstrating compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC while reducing costs and improving accuracy of CUI management.
Teramis, trusted by organizations supporting over $10 billion in defense programs, offers a platform designed for the Defense Industrial Base and CMMC advisory firms. More information is available at www.teramis.us.
