Legacy CMMC 1.0 remediation and DFARS 252.204-7012 / NIST 800-171 self-attestation support for DoD primes, subcontractors, and the defense industrial base still working through the transition to CMMC 2.0.

Defensible CMMC 1.0 and self-attestation support

Not every DoD contractor is on the CMMC 2.0 timeline yet. Legacy CMMC 1.0 practices, DFARS 252.204-7012 flow-down clauses, and NIST 800-171 self-assessment scores are still active contract requirements - and prime contractors are still auditing subs against them.

We help you honestly assess against the original CMMC 1.0 practices, submit an accurate SPRS score, author the System Security Plan and Plan of Action & Milestones that back it, and put the technical controls in place so your self-attestation is defensible if the DoD or a prime ever asks you to prove it.

What's included

Everything in this service. Nothing buried in fine print.

  • NIST SP 800-171 self-assessment (all 110 controls)
  • SPRS score calculation and submission support
  • System Security Plan (SSP) authoring
  • Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) development
  • DFARS 252.204-7012 clause interpretation
  • Basic and derived security requirement remediation
  • Legacy CMMC 1.0 practice-level mapping (Levels 1-3)
  • Transition roadmap from CMMC 1.0 to CMMC 2.0
  • Prime contractor questionnaire response
  • Annual self-attestation cycle management
[ Honest scoring ]

A SPRS score you can defend if the DoD checks

The single biggest legal risk in the DoD supply chain today is an inflated SPRS score. False Claims Act actions against contractors who misrepresented their NIST 800-171 posture are already producing multi-million dollar settlements. We compute your score the way an assessor would, then help you actually earn the points before you submit.

  • Control-by-control walk of all 110 NIST 800-171 requirements
  • DoD -5 / -3 / -1 rubric applied to every gap
  • Evidence captured and stored with the score
  • Remediation plan to move the score up over time
[ SSP and POA&M ]

The documentation self-attestation actually requires

A defensible self-attestation is not a checkbox - it is a System Security Plan, a POA&M for every open gap, and evidence that both are being maintained. We deliver plain-English documentation your team can update, not consulting deliverables that die on a shelf.

[ Bridge to CMMC 2.0 ]

Every control implemented now cuts CMMC 2.0 cost later

We build every CMMC 1.0 and self-attestation remediation with the CMMC 2.0 Level 2 assessment in mind: FIPS 140-2 encryption, MFA, audit logging, incident response, and identity governance stand up once and satisfy both.

[ Industry use cases ]

How different industries put this service to work

Every regulated and growth-stage business we support has a slightly different reason for engaging this service. The common thread is that the risk, downtime, or compliance cost of doing nothing is now bigger than the cost of a specialized partner.

  • Healthcare and behavioral health groups protecting PHI under HIPAA and the HHS cybersecurity performance goals
  • Financial services, RIAs, and CPAs meeting FTC Safeguards, SEC, and state privacy requirements
  • Manufacturers and defense suppliers preparing for CMMC 2.0 Level 1 and Level 2 assessments
  • Law firms and professional services protecting client confidentiality and privileged data
  • K-12, higher education, and public sector agencies defending student and constituent data
  • Construction, real estate, and multi-site retail keeping distributed teams online and secure
[ Buyer checklist ]

What good looks like when you evaluate providers

Not every provider that lists this service on their website actually delivers it well. Use the checklist below when you shortlist partners so you can compare apples to apples and avoid the two most common traps: a low sticker price that hides scope gaps, and a polished sales cycle backed by an offshore delivery team you never meet.

If a prospective provider cannot answer these questions plainly and in writing, treat that as a signal. The right partner will welcome the scrutiny.

  • Written SLAs with response and resolution targets, not just uptime
  • Named senior engineers assigned to your account, not a shared queue
  • US-based delivery with clear escalation paths and named leadership
  • Transparent monthly reporting with metrics leadership actually cares about
  • Security-first defaults: MFA, least privilege, and monitored change control
  • Alignment to your compliance framework, not a generic template
  • A real onboarding plan with milestones, not just a handoff email
