Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Consulting Services
Helping Organizations Achieve and Maintain CMMC Compliance
Guiding federal contractors and subcontractors through the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification process to safeguard information and strengthen competitive positioning.
Cybersecurity is a primary concern for the Department of Defense (DoD). Its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) helps organizations proactively protect their sensitive data against international hackers and bad-faith actors who target Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
The DoD introduced the CMMC to enhance the cybersecurity of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), which faces frequent and sophisticated cyberattacks. This certification, conducted every three years, verifies contractors' adherence to current CMMC standards, consistent with existing DIB information security protocols.

Understanding Federal Regulations Codes
The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 32 establishes the CMMC program and its ecosystem. It defines cybersecurity standards, levels, and assessment requirements. The objective of CFR Title 48 will be to mandate that the CMMC level be included as a contract clause.

Gain a Competitive Edge with Early CMMC Compliance
DIB early adopters of CMMC compliance validation gain a competitive advantage and expand bidding opportunities as prime contractors. Subcontractors that achieve CMMC readiness demonstrate their ability to participate in DIB contracts, especially if working with compliant prime contractors.
Note in some procurements, the DoD may implement CMMC requirements ahead of the planned phases.
Explore Our CMMC Compliance Methodology
Unlike typical technical approaches to CMMC assessments, our approach prioritizes scoping, identifying DoD FCI and CUI handling requirements. Failing to do so can lead to CMMC assessment success without actual contract compliance. It is possible to pass a CMMC assessment and achieve a NIST 800-171 score of 110, yet still be non-compliant with the contract if contractual CUI handling requirements were never initially validated. This can include performing upfront DoD contract analyses where available. This refined scope of work increases compliance success.
This approach allows us to tailor services to provide:
- NIST 800-171 assessment services
- CMMC Level 1 self-assessment support
- CMMC Level 2 readiness
- Self-assessment support
- Accurate CMMC documentation
Upon successful awarding of a CMMC certification, we also provide ongoing support for the required annual attestation and subsequent contracting arrangements.
