(DoD Contractors)
Protect Your CUI. Secure Your Contracts.
The Department of Defense (DoD) has changed the rules. Under the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, claiming you are secure is no longer enough – you must prove it. Without certification, your organization cannot bid on or renew DoD contracts.
We guide defense contractors and subcontractors through the complex CMMC landscape. From initial gap analysis to final audit readiness, we ensure you meet the requirements for Level 1 (Foundational), Level 2 (Advanced), and Level 3 (Expert).
📊 CMMC Readiness Assessments (Levels 1–3)
Unsure where you stand? We determine exactly which CMMC level your contract requires based on the type of data you handle (FCI vs. CUI). We perform a readiness assessment to baseline your current security posture against the model, giving you a clear “Pass/Fail” preview before the real audit.
gap NIST SP 800-171 Gap Analysis
CMMC Level 2 is virtually identical to NIST SP 800-171. We conduct a granular, line-by-line analysis of all 110 controls. We identify exactly where your controls are missing or insufficient, preventing “scope creep” and focusing resources on the specific gaps that need closing.
📝 SSP & POA&M Development
Documentation is the backbone of CMMC. Auditors require evidence. We develop your System Security Plan (SSP) to describe how you meet each control, and we create a viable Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) to track and remediate deficiencies, ensuring you have the required paperwork to pass.
🏗️ Remediation & Audit Support
Finding the gaps is easy; fixing them is hard. We assist with technical remediation – configuring firewalls, implementing MFA, and hardening systems. Prior to your official C3PAO assessment, we provide “Pre-Assessment” advisory support and mock audits to ensure your team is ready for the spotlight.

It depends on the data you possess. If you only handle Federal Contract Information (FCI) – info not intended for public release – you likely need Level 1 (17 basic controls). If you handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), you will likely need Level 2 (110 controls aligned with NIST 800-171). We review your contracts to tell you exactly where you fit.
Under CMMC 2.0, Level 1 contractors can perform an annual self-assessment. However, most Level 2 contractors (those handling critical CUI) will eventually require a third-party assessment conducted by a C3PAO (Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization). We prepare you for that external audit so you pass on the first try.
In the past, you could have many open items. Under CMMC, the tolerance is much lower. While limited, time-bound waivers may be allowed for specific low-risk controls, the goal is to have a “clean” System Security Plan. Our remediation planning focuses on closing these gaps before the auditor arrives to maximize your score.
