Get CMMC ready.
We'll get you through it.
CMMC is now a contract requirement. If you handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), the sensitive but unclassified data that comes with defense work, you need to know where you stand before you bid.
We find out what you have, what's missing, and how to close the gaps. We don't turn your IT upside down to do it.
What CMMC Actually Requires
Three levels. Most contractors land at Level 2. That is where the real work is.
- →Self-attest once a year
- →Based on FAR 52.204-21
- →No third-party audit required
- →Basic security habits get you there
- →Meet NIST SP 800-171, the federal CUI security standard
- →C3PAO assessment or self-attestation, depending on your contract
- →Security plan (SSP) and gap-fix plan (POA&M) required
- →Score reported to DoD in SPRS, its supplier risk system
- →Where most contractors get stuck
- →Based on NIST SP 800-172
- →Government-led assessment
- →Reserved for highest-priority programs
- →Most contractors will never need this
DFARS 252.204-7012: This is the DoD contract clause on safeguarding defense information. If you already hold a DoD contract, you likely have DFARS obligations today. Contracting officers can see your SPRS score before you bid. It matters.
Where Contractors Fail CMMC Audits
These aren't edge cases. We see them in almost every engagement.
No System Security Plan
NIST 800-171 requires a written SSP. Not having one is the most common finding. It tells assessors the rest probably won't go well either.
CUI Boundary Never Defined
You can't protect what you haven't mapped. Most contractors have CUI spread across email, shared drives, laptops, and cloud tools, with no clear line drawn around it.
MFA Gaps
MFA (multi-factor authentication, a second login step like a phone code) is required for admin and remote access. Many contractors exempt certain users with no written reason and no POA&M entry.
No Audit Logging
NIST 800-171 requires you to keep logs, protect them, and review them regularly. Most small contractors have no logging set up and scramble when it comes up.
No Incident Response Plan
You need a written incident response plan and proof you've tested it. A downloaded template sitting in a folder doesn't count.
Patch and Config Drift
Unmanaged computers, factory default settings, and missing patches are some of the first things assessors check. They're also the easiest to fix.
How We Work Through This
Five steps. No surprises. At the end of each one, you'll know exactly where you stand.
Scoping and CUI Boundary
We pin down exactly which systems, people, and data touch CUI. Getting this right is the most important decision you'll make. A tighter scope means less work to get compliant.
Gap Assessment Against NIST SP 800-171
We go through all 110 practices with you, one area (domain) at a time. Each one gets a call: fully in place, partly in place, or not in place. We score it honestly, not optimistically.
SSP and POA&M
We write your System Security Plan: what security controls you have, how they work, and who owns them. Every gap goes into your Plan of Action and Milestones with a real timeline.
Remediation
We rank the gaps by risk and by when your assessment is. Then we work with your team or your outside IT provider (MSP) to fix them right, not just well enough to check a box.
Final Review Before Assessment
Before you bring in a C3PAO, we walk through your evidence, your SSP, and the quality of your documents. You shouldn't find surprises during the real assessment.
What You Get
Everything an assessor will ask for, organized and ready.
CMMC Gap Assessment Report
Every NIST SP 800-171 practice, scored area by area. You'll see exactly where you stand.
System Security Plan
A real SSP covering the systems that hold your CUI, where they start and stop, and your controls. Written to hold up when an assessor digs in.
Plan of Action and Milestones
Every open gap gets a real owner and timeline. Required for your SPRS submission and your C3PAO assessment.
SPRS Score
Your accurate NIST 800-171 self-assessment score, ready to submit to SPRS. Know your number before a contracting officer looks it up.
Evidence Package
Your policies, settings, screenshots, and logs, organized for the assessor. Not a pile of files. A structured package.
Remediation Roadmap
A ranked list of what to fix and in what order, based on risk and timeline. No guessing where to start.
CUI Commander
CUI Commander helps organizations handling CUI see where they stand before an assessment.
It can check a computer, discover assets on your network, and generate reports and evidence files that help you find gaps and understand what needs to be fixed first.
It is a readiness tool, not a certification. It helps you identify gaps and document findings, but it does not replace your SSP, POA&M, legal review, or assessment.
* Not for consulting, MSSP, C3PAO, SaaS, or other third-party or client facing use without a separate written license.
Who This Is For
Pursuing CMMC Level 2 certification
You have a DoD contract, or you're bidding on one, that requires Level 2. You need to know where your gaps are and have a plan to close them.
Small or mid-size contractors without a security team
Most companies in the defense supply chain are small. They don't have a security chief (CISO) or a full-time compliance person. You need someone who has done this, without the cost of a full-time hire.
Contractors already under DFARS rules
You submitted an SPRS score at some point. You want to know if it would hold up, and how to fix the gaps before someone asks.
Companies getting CMMC added to an existing contract
You just got a contract change or a new solicitation with CMMC language in it. You need to know what that means for your systems and your timeline.
Know where you stand before your C3PAO does
It starts with a gap assessment. Book a call. We'll find out where you are and what it takes to get ready.
