CMMC Consulting

Achieve CMMC certification with confidence

We guide defense contractors and subcontractors through every phase of CMMC 2.0 — from initial scoping and gap analysis to System Security Plan (SSP) development, control implementation, and C3PAO audit readiness.

The challenge

CMMC isn't a checkbox — it's a contract requirement

Contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information must prove their security posture to keep working with the DoD. Falling short doesn't just create risk — it can make you ineligible to bid.

!

110 NIST 800-171 controls that must be implemented and evidenced for Level 2.

!

An SSP and POA&M that assessors expect to be complete, accurate, and current.

!

Technical gaps — MFA, encryption, logging — that take time and engineering to close.

!

Self-attestation under DFARS that carries real False Claims Act liability.

!

A C3PAO assessment that fails when evidence doesn't match reality.

!

Ongoing sustainment obligations long after the certificate is issued.

Capabilities

A proven path to CMMC certification

Our CMMC practice combines NIST 800-171 expertise, DFARS compliance knowledge, and hands-on security engineering to prepare you for assessment and ongoing sustainment.

01

Gap analysis & scoping

We assess your current environment against CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 requirements and produce a prioritized remediation plan with cost and timeline estimates.

02

System Security Plan (SSP) development

Complete, audit-ready SSP and POA&M documentation mapped to every required control — written by compliance engineers who understand assessor expectations.

03

Control implementation

Hands-on deployment of missing technical controls — multi-factor authentication, encryption, logging, access management, and endpoint hardening.

04

Policy & procedure alignment

We draft and socialize the policies, procedures, and evidence packages that assessors expect to see during certification reviews.

05

C3PAO audit preparation

Mock assessments, evidence review, and remediation sprints to ensure you walk into the official assessment fully prepared.

06

Sustainment & continuous compliance

Post-certification monitoring, periodic reassessment, and advisory services to keep your CMMC posture current as regulations evolve.

Compliance that holds up in the room

Our team sits beside defense contractors through scoping, remediation, and the C3PAO assessment itself — so your SSP describes a system that genuinely exists and your evidence stands up to scrutiny.

Trusted across the defense industrial base

From primes to small subcontractors, we tailor CMMC programs to your contracts and environment — protecting CUI without grinding operations to a halt.

The road to certification

What CMMC readiness looks like

Certification is a journey of documentation, implementation, and proof. Here's how it comes together.

Engagement

From current state to certified

A phased program that turns CMMC from an ambiguous mandate into a clear, trackable project.

  1. 1

    Scope the CUI boundary

    We define exactly where Controlled Unclassified Information lives and flows, drawing a defensible assessment boundary that keeps scope — and cost — under control.

  2. 2

    Gap analysis

    Each in-scope control is assessed against your environment. You receive a prioritized remediation plan with effort, cost, and timeline for every gap.

  3. 3

    Remediate & implement

    Our engineers deploy the missing technical controls and we draft the matching policies and procedures so documentation reflects reality.

  4. 4

    Document the SSP & POA&M

    We produce an assessment-ready System Security Plan and Plan of Action & Milestones that map cleanly to every requirement and assessor objective.

  5. 5

    Mock assessment & readiness

    A full dress-rehearsal assessment validates evidence, closes final gaps, and ensures you walk into the C3PAO assessment with confidence.

Inside the program

What sets our CMMC practice apart

Engineers, not just auditors

We don't hand you a gap report and walk away. Our team implements the missing controls — MFA, encryption, logging, hardening — so your documentation describes a system that actually exists.

  • Hands-on control implementation
  • MFA and access management
  • FIPS-validated encryption
  • Centralized logging & monitoring

Assessment-ready documentation

Assessors live in your SSP and POA&M. We write them the way C3PAOs expect to read them — complete, traceable, and backed by evidence packages that hold up under scrutiny.

  • Control-by-control SSP
  • POA&M tracked to closure
  • Evidence and artifact packages
  • Policy & procedure library

Sustainment after certification

CMMC isn't one-and-done. We keep your posture current with monitoring, periodic reassessment, and advisory support as your environment and the regulations evolve.

  • Continuous compliance monitoring
  • Periodic reassessment
  • Change-driven control updates
  • Ongoing advisory access
Who it's for

Who we work with

Prime contractors

Primes that must certify to win and retain DoD contracts handling CUI.

Subcontractors

Suppliers required by flow-down clauses to meet CMMC to stay in the supply chain.

Growing defense firms

Companies expanding into DoD work that need to build compliance from the ground up.

The contractors who pass smoothly are the ones whose documentation describes a system that genuinely exists. We build both — the controls and the evidence.
