CMMC 2.0 Compliance Services for DoD Contractors

Defining your CUI boundary before you spend a dollar on tooling

Most failed CMMC programs spend money before they scope. We start every engagement by inventorying where Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) actually live - across email, file shares, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, line-of-business apps, engineering workstations, and the inboxes of the three people who get all the contracts forwarded to them.

From that data flow we design a CUI enclave (typically Microsoft GCC High plus a dedicated subset of endpoints), shrinking your assessment scope by 60–80% and dramatically lowering both initial remediation and ongoing operating cost.

• FCI // CUI // CDI data discovery
• Asset and System Boundary diagrams
• Microsoft GCC High enclave design
• Engineering workstation scoping
• Email and file-share segregation

The documentation a C3PAO actually wants to see

Authoring a credible System Security Plan (SSP) is the single biggest stumbling block for organizations approaching their first CMMC Level 2 assessment. We deliver a control-by-control SSP that maps every NIST 800-171 requirement to the specific technology, policy, and procedure that implements it, with named control owners and evidence references - not generic templates.

The Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) tracks every open gap with risk rating, target date, owner, and acceptance authority. Both documents are kept living, with quarterly review built into our managed-service cadence.

Getting through your triennial third-party assessment

When the C3PAO arrives, we sit in. We coordinate evidence collection ahead of time, walk auditors through control implementation, defend the SSP narrative, and own the response to any findings - including writing remediation plans for items that need to land in the post-assessment POA&M.

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

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
