CMMC is a contract requirement now. Let's make it manageable.

CMMC in plain language

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program is how the Department of Defense verifies that contractors protect sensitive information. CMMC 2.0 has three levels. Level 1 covers Federal Contract Information and maps to the 15 basic safeguarding requirements in FAR 52.204-21. Level 2 covers Controlled Unclassified Information and aligns with the 110 security requirements in NIST SP 800-171. Level 3 adds requirements for a smaller set of contractors supporting the most sensitive programs.

Which level you need depends on the type of information you handle, and that is defined by your contracts. Some Level 2 contractors may self-assess, while many will need an assessment by an authorized third-party organization. Requirements and phase-in details are set by the DoD and can evolve, so it is important to confirm what your specific contracts require rather than relying on general assumptions.

From gap assessment to sustained compliance

We start with a gap assessment that compares your current environment against the requirements for your target level. You get a clear picture of which controls are met, partially met, or missing, with plain-language explanations of what each one means in practice. That becomes the foundation for your System Security Plan and your Plan of Action and Milestones, the two documents assessors rely on most.

Remediation is where the real work happens: configuring multi-factor authentication, logging, access controls, encryption, incident response procedures, and many other technical and administrative controls. Because our team is GC3-certified in compliance consulting and also manages IT day to day, we can both interpret the requirement and implement the fix, rather than handing you a report and leaving you to figure it out.

Compliance is ultimately your organization's responsibility, and no reputable partner can guarantee an assessment outcome. What we can do is help you achieve the requirements, keep evidence organized, and maintain the controls over time, because CMMC is not a one-time project. Systems change, people come and go, and your security posture has to keep up. We help you keep your SSP, evidence, and SPRS information accurate as things change.
