CMMC CONSULTING & ROADMAPPING

SECURITY ASSESSMENTS

Defense contractors must prove they have identified and mitigated security risks. Firethorne performs vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and compliance gap analyses that map findings directly to frameworks like DFARS 252.204-7012 and CMMC. This provides both technical security improvements and audit-ready documentation.

FRAMEWORK CONSULTING

Staying compliant with NIST 800-171, DFARS, and other regulatory frameworks is essential for maintaining DoD contracts. Firethorne provides framework consulting services that align your policies, procedures, and technical safeguards with required standards. This ensures you’re not only compliant, but also prepared for evolving regulations.

MANAGED IT SERVICES

Defense contractors need secure, reliable IT management that doesn’t compromise compliance. Firethorne’s Managed IT Services cover everything from helpdesk support to endpoint monitoring, backup and recovery, and 24×7 security operations. Every service is delivered with a compliance-first mindset, making IT a strength instead of a liability.

CLOUD & INFRASTRUCTURE CONSULTING

No defense contractor can pass an audit without formalized policies and procedures. Firethorne helps you build incident response plans, access control policies, and data handling standards that meet DoD contract requirements. All policies are tailored to your environment and provide the written evidence auditors demand.

OUR APPROACH FOR DEFENSE CONTRACTORS

Defense contractors face more than just IT challenges — they face regulatory requirements that directly affect their ability to win and maintain DoD contracts. Frameworks like CMMC and NIST 800-171, coupled with DFARS 252.204-7012 incident reporting requirements and sometimes ITAR restrictions, create a complex environment where compliance is not optional. Firethorne’s approach is tailored to help defense contractors meet these obligations while strengthening their overall security posture.

  • Discovery & Gap Assessment

    We begin by mapping your current environment against NIST 800-171 controls, identifying gaps in areas like access control, encryption, incident response, and documentation. This includes reviewing your System Security Plan (SSP), Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M), and incident reporting processes required under DFARS. For contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), this step ensures you know exactly where you stand before a DIBCAC High Assessment or CMMC audit.

  • Roadmap Development

    We then build a Do Now, Do Next, Do Later roadmap that prioritizes remediation tasks. Immediate steps might include enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) or replacing unsupported infrastructure, while “next” steps may cover network segmentation or advanced monitoring. Longer-term initiatives could include planning for hybrid cloud migrations or future CMMC Level 3 requirements. This staged approach makes compliance manageable and budget-friendly for contractors of all sizes.

  • Remediation & Implementation

    Our team addresses technical and procedural gaps, whether it’s implementing endpoint detection, securing M365 environments, or developing missing policies like incident response and access control. We also help design compliant infrastructure, segment networks to isolate CUI, and establish monitoring that provides audit-ready evidence. Every step is documented so your SSP and POA&M stay current — something many contractors struggle with.

  • Ongoing Management & Compliance Support

    CMMC and DFARS obligations are not one-time projects. Firethorne provides ongoing monitoring, patching, and compliance reviews so contractors remain aligned with evolving requirements. This includes maintaining secure backups, validating disaster recovery procedures, and ensuring reporting requirements are met. For subcontractors, we also help assess and secure the supply chain to reduce risks introduced by third parties.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why do defense contractors need to comply with CMMC?2025-09-08T00:51:43+00:00

The Department of Defense requires contractors who handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) to meet CMMC certification. Without compliance, contractors may lose eligibility for new contracts. Firethorne helps you prepare with gap assessments, roadmaps, and remediation support to ensure you’re ready for audit.

How does Firethorne support NIST 800-171 compliance?2025-09-08T00:52:03+00:00

We map your IT systems and processes against the 110 NIST 800-171 controls, identifying gaps and providing remediation plans. This includes updating your System Security Plan (SSP) and Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) so your documentation is accurate and audit-ready.

What is DFARS 252.204-7012 and how does it affect my business?2025-09-08T00:52:24+00:00

DFARS 252.204-7012 requires defense contractors to safeguard CUI and report cyber incidents within 72 hours. Firethorne helps implement the required security controls, set up reporting processes, and ensure your infrastructure meets DFARS requirements.

Can Firethorne co-manage IT with our existing team?2025-09-08T00:52:44+00:00

Yes. We work with both subcontractors and primes who may already have in-house IT. Firethorne can provide co-managed support, where we handle compliance alignment, monitoring, and documentation while your internal team manages day-to-day IT.

Do you support ITAR compliance as well as CMMC?2025-09-08T00:53:10+00:00

Yes. For contractors handling International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) data, we ensure systems are isolated, access is restricted to US persons, and documentation meets ITAR requirements.

Are Firethorne’s services delivered offshore?2025-09-08T00:53:42+00:00

No. All of our services are provided by a 100% US-based team. Offshore outsourcing can introduce compliance risks for defense contractors, which is why Firethorne keeps all support and consulting domestic.
