Cybersecurity Services for JMARK

JMARK has been privately owned since 1988, and it puts that on the front page next to a promise that clients will never sit through an acquisition cycle or a service disruption caused by a change of ownership. The firm works from Springfield, Missouri, with a second office in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Independence sold that way becomes a constraint on how capability gets bought. A firm that sells to a roll up inherits somebody else's bench on closing day. JMARK has to grow its own, in southwest Missouri, for six industries whose regulators share almost nothing. Banking and insurance clients bring FFIEC and GLBA. Healthcare brings HIPAA. Anyone handling cards brings PCI DSS, education and public services bring their own review cycles, and the control mapping underneath all of it runs through NIST and CIS. JMARK also holds SOC 2, so its own attestation is exposed every time an engineer touches a client environment. Recruiting a genuine specialist for each of those regimes into Springfield, then keeping that person busy enough to justify the salary, is a different exercise from hiring a strong generalist engineer, which JMARK has clearly been good at for over three decades

CWS puts specialist engineers into those engagements under the JMARK name. The work is delivered to a single standard across the United States and Canada, in English and in French when a Quebec or Canadian federal client requires it, and the people involved present as JMARK's team throughout. Scoping, quoting and project tracking run through Corova, the CWS platform, so the client sees JMARK's process rather than a subcontractor's
