Three engagements, one continuous relationship. We build the readiness program, validate it with a full mock assessment, and stay with you after certification to keep your compliance posture defensible.
Certification requires technical controls (your tools and infrastructure) and organizational controls (your policies, procedures, training, and how your people operate). Some organizations have an MSP or a technology stack in place. Some have pieces. Many are starting from scratch. It doesn't matter where you are today. What matters is that both halves are covered before your C3PAO assessment, and technology alone has never passed one.
Whether you have a tech stack, some of one, or none at all
A complete compliance program, wherever you're starting from
Starting from zero? We've done it before. Have a tech stack already? We build the compliance program on top of it. Either way, you get certified.
Each stage is a defined engagement with its own scope and deliverables. They flow together because compliance is not a project that ends, it is a posture that continues. You can start at any stage. Most organizations start with Readiness.
Scoping and discovery
Define CUI boundaries, map your systems, establish your assessment perimeter. The foundation everything else is built on.
Gap assessment
Measure current state against all 110 NIST 800-171 controls. Technical and organizational. Prioritized roadmap to assessment-ready.
Remediation and documentation
Implement controls, build policies and procedures, train your people, assemble evidence. As your security posture changes, we reassess and iterate.
Pre-assessment validation
A complete mock assessment using CMMC assessment methodology. Every control reviewed, every piece of evidence checked, every interview rehearsed. We tell you exactly what an assessor will find before the assessor does.
C3PAO assessment support
We do not perform the assessment, a C3PAO does. But we stand alongside you through it: connecting you with a qualified C3PAO, preparing your team, and supporting you through every interview and evidence request. You are not alone in the room.
Managed compliance
Quarterly SSP reviews, POA&M management, regulatory monitoring, and triennial recertification preparation. Ad hoc consulting when contract scope changes, environments evolve, or new CUI flows appear. The certification was the milestone. This is how it stays defensible.
We build the program. We bring the expertise. You own the result.
Readiness timelines vary: Standard 3-6 months | Foundation 10-12 months | Fast-Track via managed enclave
Every engagement includes the structure and accountability to get you from where you are today to assessment-ready, and to keep you there.
We work exclusively with organizations in and around the DIB. That focus is what makes us different.
Prime contractors needing Level 1 or Level 2 certification to maintain DoD contract eligibility.
Manufacturing firms in the defense supply chain handling CUI on the shop floor and in digital systems.
Higher education institutions conducting DoD-funded research and managing CUI across departments.
Subcontractors and suppliers required to meet CMMC standards by their prime contractor partners.
Every member of our delivery team holds a CCA or CCP credential. They know what assessors evaluate and what evidence passes because they've been on both sides of the table.
