Operating context

Clarity before control.

What it is

CMMC readiness connects CUI scope, security controls, documentation, evidence, and operational practice. The goal is not paper compliance—it is a program that can withstand assessment and protect the information entrusted to your organization.

Who it is for

Prime contractors, subcontractors, and organizations in federal or defense supply chains that store, process, transmit, or support Controlled Unclassified Information.

Why it matters

Outcomes leadership can defend.

Define CUI scope and system boundaries
Assess against CMMC 2.0 and NIST 800-171
Protect identity, access, data, and logging
Prioritize remediation without losing momentum
Build SSP, POA&M, policies, and evidence
Reduce supply-chain and third-party exposure
Prepare stakeholders for assessment
Maintain long-term contract readiness

Capabilities

Built around the mission.

Evidence & Assessment Readiness

Organize the SSP, policies, procedures, artifacts, interviews, and validation needed for assessment.

Delivery model

A controlled path from exposure to assurance.

Scope

Review contracts, CUI flows, people, systems, providers, and the assessment boundary.

Assess

Evaluate practices, documentation, and evidence against CMMC and NIST requirements.

Harden

Implement and validate technical, procedural, and governance remediation.

Prove

Organize evidence, rehearse assessment, resolve final gaps, and sustain readiness.

Essentials

Questions answered directly.

Who needs CMMC readiness?

Organizations in the Defense Industrial Base that handle CUI or are subject to contractual CMMC requirements need a defensible security and evidence program.

How long does readiness take?

Timelines range from weeks to several months depending on scope, maturity, technical gaps, documentation, providers, and stakeholder availability.

What does a gap assessment include?

It typically includes scope and boundary review, control-by-control analysis, evidence validation, findings, risk priorities, and a remediation roadmap.

Can cloud services support CMMC?

Yes, when service selection, configuration, identity, logging, device controls, contracts, data location, and shared responsibilities align with the applicable requirements.

Your risk deserves a clear decision.
