Teramis, a leading platform for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) discovery, validation, and continuous monitoring, has 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, having played a pivotal role in developing and implementing the Department of Defense's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program.
As Chief of Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity, Bostjanick served as the Department's focal point for implementing CMMC across more than 220,000 companies in the Defense Industrial Base and led efforts to guide the program through the federal rulemaking process. Her appointment comes as defense contractors increasingly focus on demonstrating compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC requirements while reducing costs and minimizing assessment risk.
"Stacy's leadership has been instrumental in advancing cybersecurity across the Defense Industrial Base and helping organizations understand and navigate CMMC requirements," said Brandon Sessions, President of Teramis. "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 purpose-built to address one of the most persistent challenges in CMMC compliance: knowing exactly where CUI resides. The platform enables organizations and their partners to discover CUI across Microsoft 365, file shares, endpoints, email systems, and other repositories, producing defensible evidence to support scoping, enclave design, assessment preparation, and ongoing compliance efforts.
"One of the greatest challenges organizations face is obtaining accurate visibility into where sensitive information actually exists," said Bostjanick. "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 across the Defense Industrial Base."
Prior to leading the Department's DIB cybersecurity initiatives, Bostjanick held numerous senior acquisition and contracting leadership positions, including serving as Head of Contracting Activity for the Defense Intelligence Agency and as a Senior Contracting Officer supporting major missile defense programs. Throughout her federal career, she managed billions of dollars in complex defense contracts.
Teramis is trusted by organizations supporting more than $10 billion in defense programs and helps accurately scope CMMC assessment boundaries, validate compliance efforts, manage CUI spillage, and maintain continuous awareness of sensitive data locations.
