Most clients come to us for CMMC certification. We get them there, on the first attempt. But certification is a milestone in a longer arc, and that arc is where we work. From initial scoping through certified, and from certified through every audit cycle that follows.
A CMMC certificate is a snapshot of one moment. Compliance is how your organization operates between assessments, when contracts expand, when CUI flows change, when leadership turns over, and when the next framework lands on top of the one you just satisfied. We built Stehrling around that reality. Five services, organized around the full compliance arc, delivered by practitioners who have been on every side of the table.
Each engagement stands on its own. Together, they cover the full lifecycle of compliance, from scoping a CUI boundary for the first time to leading a mature program through its third recertification.
CUI scoping, gap analysis against all 110 controls, and full implementation of the policies, procedures, and technical controls assessors evaluate. We work weekly alongside your team from kickoff through assessment-ready. Built for organizations starting from scratch and for those with technology already in place.
A full dress rehearsal of your C3PAO assessment, conducted by our CCAs and CCPs. Every control reviewed, every piece of evidence checked, every interview rehearsed. We tell you exactly what an assessor will find before the assessor does. No surprises on the day that counts.
A certificate is a snapshot. Compliance is a posture. 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.
Senior cybersecurity and compliance leadership delivered fractionally. For organizations that need a CISO or compliance executive's expertise without the full-time hire. Named senior practitioner, executive accountability, strategic roadmap, and program governance. Monthly cadence. Defined scope. Real authority.
Compliance and technology are inseparable. CUI scoping and enclave architecture. Identity and conditional access design. Logging and monitoring. Vendor and platform selection. This isn't a separate engagement you buy. It's the technical capability that runs through every service we deliver. We do this work. Sometimes our team directly, sometimes through vetted partners for specialized execution. Stehrling owns the outcome either way.
Compliance buyers often categorize firms into two camps: the policy consultants and the technical implementers. We sit in both. We do the technical work that compliance demands. Sometimes our team delivers it directly. For specialized operational execution like managed enclaves, GCC High migrations, or 24x7 monitoring, we coordinate vetted partners. Stehrling owns the program throughout.
You get the technical direction and accountability of a cybersecurity firm with the operational depth of a specialized partner network. We connect the dots. You don't manage that complexity yourself.
