Compliance Services
CMMC consulting & readiness
CMMC requirements are in DoD contracts now. We take defense contractors from "where do we even start" to assessment-ready — gap analysis, remediation, documentation, and mock audits, end to end.
Schedule a ConsultationWhat is CMMC?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification is the DoD's program for verifying that contractors protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI). The DFARS acquisition rule took effect in November 2025 — without certification, you risk losing existing contracts and being disqualified from bidding on new ones.
Our CMMC services
Everything between today and a passed assessment.
Readiness Assessments
A full picture of your current security posture against the level your contracts require — what's in place, what's missing, what it takes to close.
Gap Analysis & Remediation Roadmaps
Findings mapped to NIST 800-171 controls with a staged remediation plan — highest-impact fixes first.
Policy & Documentation Development
System Security Plans (SSPs) and Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&Ms) that match how you actually operate — assessors check.
Technical Control Implementation
MFA, encryption, network segmentation, logging — the hands-on engineering work that closes the gaps.
Ongoing Compliance Management
Continuous monitoring, vulnerability management, and documentation updates so certification day one isn't your peak.
Pre-Assessment Preparation
Mock audits and evidence drills so your team can produce proof on demand — verbal assurances don't pass.
The three CMMC levels
Your contracts determine your level. We'll help you confirm which one applies before you spend a dollar on the wrong target.
- 01
Level 1 — Foundational
For contractors handling FCI only. 17 practices from FAR 52.204-21, verified by annual self-assessment.
- 02
Level 2 — Advanced
For most contractors handling CUI. 110 practices mapped to NIST SP 800-171; third-party C3PAO assessment every three years for prioritized contracts.
- 03
Level 3 — Expert
For the most sensitive DoD programs. Built on NIST SP 800-172 with government-led assessments.
- 04
Not sure which?
Your contract clauses and the data you handle decide it. We read both and tell you straight — including if Level 1 is genuinely all you need.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between CMMC and NIST 800-171?
NIST 800-171 defines the security controls for protecting CUI. CMMC adds a certification program on top — you have to demonstrate compliance through third-party or government-led assessments, not just claim it.
How long does it take to get ready?
Some organizations get there in a few months; others need 12–18 months to close gaps, upgrade infrastructure, and complete documentation. The readiness assessment tells you which one you are — before a contract deadline decides for you.
What documentation is required?
At minimum: a System Security Plan (SSP), Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&Ms), security policies and procedures, and technical evidence that controls are actually implemented. Assessors want proof on demand — screenshots, logs, configurations.
Can you work with our existing IT team?
Yes. Many contractors keep day-to-day IT in-house while we handle the compliance program — assessment, documentation, remediation guidance, and assessor-facing prep.
Do you guarantee certification?
No provider can guarantee certification — be wary of any that promise it. What we provide is the assessment, remediation, documentation, and preparation that make passing the expected outcome rather than a gamble.
