What We Do

  • Scoping & Requirements Analysis -
    We begin by identifying the systems, people, and processes that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or Federal Contract Information (FCI). This helps determine the appropriate CMMC level and define the boundaries of the assessment to avoid unnecessary complexity or cost.

​

  • Gap Analysis & Risk Identification -
    Our consultants perform a detailed gap analysis against the required CMMC practices (e.g., Level 2/NIST SP 800-171). We assess your existing cybersecurity posture, identify non-compliant areas, and evaluate current risks related to access controls, incident response, system integrity, and more.

​

  • Remediation Strategy & Planning -
    A prioritized remediation roadmap is developed to address identified gaps. This includes technical upgrades (e.g., MFA, logging, encryption), policy development, employee training, and process improvements — all tailored to your operational needs and budget.

  • Implementation & Documentation Support -
    We work closely with your IT and compliance teams to implement required controls and update or develop supporting documentation (such as SSPs, POA&Ms, and security policies). Our goal is to embed compliance into your daily operations without disrupting business continuity.

  • Internal Readiness Review -
    Before the official assessment, we conduct a mock audit to verify compliance, test your evidence packages, and ensure that all processes and controls are properly documented and functioning. This significantly increases the chances of passing the CMMC assessment on the first attempt.

  • C3PAO Assessment Support -
    During your official assessment by a Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO), we provide hands-on support, helping you present evidence, respond to assessor queries, and resolve any last-minute findings to ensure successful certification.

What Is CMMC?

  • Cybersecurity Standard for DoW Contractors -
    The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework developed by the U.S. Department of War to ensure contractors and subcontractors safeguard sensitive government information like Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI).

​

  • Required for Defense Contracts -
    CMMC is a mandatory requirement for all suppliers in the Department of War (DoW) supply chain. Without it, companies will not be eligible to bid for or win defense contracts involving sensitive data.

​

  • Based on NIST SP 800-171 -
    CMMC Level 2 aligns with the 110 security requirements from NIST SP 800-171, covering areas such as access control, system integrity, incident response, and physical security.

  • Third-Party Certification Required -
    Unlike past self-assessments, CMMC requires an independent assessment by a Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO) for certification at Level 2 and above.

​

  • Designed to Reduce Risk in the Defense Industrial Base -
    The goal of CMMC is to reduce cybersecurity risks across the defense supply chain by enforcing consistent security practices and improving the overall cyber resilience of contractors.

​

  • Scalable Across Business Sizes and Types -
    CMMC is structured to be scalable, meaning small businesses and large enterprises alike can achieve compliance through tailored implementation of the required controls.
