Meet CMMC Compliance Without Confusion
Many businesses struggle to interpret CMMC requirements across different versions. Confusion about which controls apply leads to wasted time and missed milestones.
We work with you to define the proper controls and policies for your organization. Our approach aligns your security practices with CMMC Version 2, Levels 1-3, while staying flexible for future updates.
Gain a clear roadmap to guide your compliance efforts. We reduce the risk of missteps and help you prepare for formal assessments.
Streamline GRC For Ongoing CUI Protection
Manual compliance tracking often leads to missed updates, duplicate work, or overlooked risks. This is especially dangerous when handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
We help you integrate governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) processes into daily operations. Our tools support real-time tracking, evidence collection, and audit readiness.
You gain consistent visibility into your compliance posture, enabling you to respond quickly to audits or incidents.
Simplify CUI Mapping & Boundary Decisions
Organizations often don’t have a clear picture of how CUI moves through their systems. This creates risks during audits and can lead to gaps in coverage.
We help you identify where and how CUI is collected, used, processed, and stored. Our team guides you through mapping data flows and adjusting your authorization boundary to minimize unnecessary overlap and complexity.
Make it easier to defend your decisions during reviews and stay aligned with federal requirements.
Test & Strengthen Your Defenses
It’s easy to miss hidden vulnerabilities in segmented CUI environments. These gaps can expose sensitive data and make it easier for attackers to bypass your controls.
We conduct targeted penetration tests and red team assessments using proven tools and techniques. Our evaluations assess how well your CUI segmentation performs in real-world attack scenarios and pinpoint specific areas for improvement.
You receive a clear action plan to strengthen your security posture and reduce risk.
Create a Clear, Complete SSP
A poorly written System Security Plan (SSP) can lead to failed reviews. Missing or vague details make it hard to prove that your cybersecurity program meets requirements.
We work with you to document your cybersecurity practices clearly and thoroughly. Our team helps you capture the right level of detail and align with requirements.
You save time during audits, avoid confusion, and demonstrate that your security program is well-managed.
Stay Compliant Between CMMC Assessments
Passing a CMMC assessment once does not mean you’ll stay compliant. CMMC requires recertification every three years. As standards change, your systems can fall out of alignment and put future certifications at risk.
Our team provides system updates, tracks changes, and manages security controls so you’re always ready for your following review.
You avoid last-minute fixes and keep your environment aligned with the latest CMMC requirements.
Uphold CMMC Compliance So You Can Uphold Your Contracts
Don't let a simple mistake compromise your DoD contract. Talk to our expert IT consultants.
Missing or unclear documentation, unaddressed vulnerabilities, and incomplete controls can all delay your CMMC certification. These gaps often go unnoticed until the assessment, when it’s too late to address them without costly rework.
We help you uncover and resolve potential weaknesses early. Our team defines clear corrective actions, sets achievable milestones, and tracks progress against CMMC requirements.
If your assessor flags issues, we use the POA&M to keep you within the remediation window. You get expert oversight to stay audit-ready and reduce delays.
Preparing for CMMC can feel unclear when business risks and mission priorities compete for attention. This confusion can stall progress and introduce unnecessary risks.
We offer formal assessments and compliance consulting built around your objectives. Our team evaluates your environment, ranks actions by impact, and aligns efforts with your operations.
Whether you’re pursuing certification or managing risk, we guide your next steps with clarity. You stay focused on critical needs without wasting time on low-priority tasks.
CMMC compliance becomes harder when risks are spread across siloed systems. Gaps can hide between departments, and controls may not align with enterprise-wide policies.
We draw from experience assessing complex environments to map risks across your entire organization. Our approach connects system-level issues with enterprise-level controls, enabling you to create a unified view of your current status.
We help you manage risks across teams so your path to certification stays on schedule and under control.
FAQs About CMMC Compliance
Your business needs CMMC certification if it works with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) or handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) as part of a DoD contract.
Certification is required for prime contractors and subcontractors within the defense supply chain. Review your contracts for clauses like DFARS 252.204-7012.
If present, certification is mandatory to bid on or continue defense-related work.
CMMC 1.0 had five maturity levels and required third-party assessments for most contractors. CMMC 2.0 simplifies the model to three levels.
CMMC 2.0 aligns more closely with NIST 800-171 requirements and introduces self-assessment options for Level 1 and certain Level 2 contracts.
CMMC 2.0 also introduces more flexibility by allowing Plans of Action and Milestones (POAs & Ms) and waivers under certain conditions.
Your company may still need CMMC compliance even if it doesn’t handle classified data.
CMMC applies to organizations that process, store, or transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or Federal Contract Information (FCI) under Department of Defense contracts. Most DoD contractors and subcontractors fall into this category.
The required level of compliance depends on the type of information involved and contract terms, not just classified status.
Federal Contract Information (FCI) is information provided by or created for the government under a contract that is not intended for public release.
Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is more sensitive and includes unclassified data that must be protected by law, such as engineering designs or data subject to export controls.
In CMMC, Level 1 focuses on protecting FCI, while Levels 2 and 3 mandate protections for CUI based on the data’s sensitivity and potential risks if released.
Microsoft 365 can support CMMC compliance, but its suitability depends on the specific version and the level of compliance required.
For CMMC Level 1, Microsoft 365 Commercial can be sufficient if properly configured. However, for CMMC Level 2, Microsoft 365 Commercial is not sufficient.
In such cases, consider using Microsoft 365 Government Community Cloud (GCC) or GCC High, which offer enhanced security features and compliance with standards like FedRAMP High and DFARS 7012.
