Dochterman Insurance's new program combines CyberCube analytics with RCS compliance services, targeting manufacturers facing CMMC 2.0 deadlines. Phase 2 certification required by Nov 2026.
Dochterman Insurance, a commercial brokerage that works exclusively with U.S. manufacturers, launched a cyber risk program that bundles CyberCube's analytics platform with IT assessment and CMMC 2.0 compliance services from Resource Computer Solutions (RCS).
The program gives manufacturers a single point of contact for risk identification, IT remediation, federal compliance certification, and insurance placement. Previously, those tasks required managing multiple independent vendors, Dochterman said.
The launch coincides with the Department of Defense's enforcement of CMMC 2.0 across its supply chain. Phase 1 took effect November 10, 2025. Phase 2, beginning November 10, 2026, will require third-party certification for most contracts involving Controlled Unclassified Information. Manufacturers that fail to certify will be ineligible to bid on or retain Department of Defense work.
Using CyberCube's Broking Manager, Prep Module, and Cyber Connect tools, the program models potential financial losses from threats such as ransomware and supply chain attacks. RCS evaluates security gaps against NIST 800-171 controls and manages the remediation and documentation required for CMMC certification, Dochterman explained.
Dochterman then designs the insurance policy based on both the risk data and the client's enhanced security posture, offering discounts on premiums, the firm said.
Michael Dochterman, CEO of Dochterman, said manufacturers recognize the importance of compliance but often lack internal resources. "Many who attempt to handle it themselves fail, and the process can be highly disruptive to their operations," he said. The program provides a single team responsible for identifying risks, fixing vulnerabilities, preparing for CMMC certification, and selecting appropriate insurance, all from experts who understand the realities of a shop floor. Since manufacturing is Dochterman's sole focus, this dedicated approach is what makes it effective, he added.
Nate Brink, head of broker partnerships at CyberCube, said the partnership translates technical cyber risks into financial conversations manufacturers can act on. Tim Coates, CEO of RCS, said the goal is to help manufacturers turn cybersecurity and compliance into a strategic advantage while maintaining operational efficiency.
Phase 2 of CMMC 2.0 takes effect November 10, 2026.
