News Release

WINONA LAKE — Timothy Poyner, owner and founder of Creative Technology Solutions Inc., an information technology services company serving small business owners in north-central Indiana and the surrounding region, released a new book Thursday, March 30.

The book, “The Compliance Formula,” aims to help business owners establish practices to guarantee protection against aggressive cybersecurity attacks and to better understand how they can follow new Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification guidelines required by the U.S. Department of Defense.

The book describes how to achieve and remain compliant regardless of whether a small business works directly with the government.

“Cyberhackers are costing the DoD and its contractors billions each year,” said Poyner, chief executive officer for Creative Technology Solutions. “Any company that works with them must become CMMC compliant in order to stand out from competitors and avoid hefty fines.”

Poyner encourages small businesses and organizations to begin embracing the CMMC framework because it is anticipated that it will become the standard.
