The defense industrial base is entering a new era of accountability. With the DoD’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements becoming mandatory, organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must demonstrate a security posture that is not only compliant, but operationally sustainable.

Complying with the 110 NIST 800-171 controls is essential for maintaining and winning contracts, but for many defense contractors, achieving compliance feels like a costly, complex, and disruptive overhaul.

That’s why Rhymetec is partnering with PreVeil, the leading CMMC and ITAR compliance solution for small and midsize businesses. Together, we bring defense contractors a complete, streamlined path to CMMC readiness and certification:

• Compliant handling of CUI by design: PreVeil's end-to-end encrypted email and file sharing protects CUI with FIPS 140-3 validated modules, meets DFARS 7012 c-g, and is FedRAMP Moderate Equivalent.
• Seamless integration: Keep using Outlook, Gmail, File Explorer, and Mac Finder. PreVeil deploys in hours using your existing email addresses without forcing a massive IT migration.
• Accelerated compliance: PreVeil’s platform and assessment-ready documentation support 102 of the 110 CMMC Level 2 controls out of the box, perfectly complementing Rhymetec’s compliance management.

"We're thrilled to partner with Rhymetec to support defense contractors. Their expertise in managed IT services combined with our proven CMMC encryption solutions creates

a powerful offering for organizations navigating the compliance journey.” — Jamie Leupold, Director of Channel Sales and Alliances, PreVeil.

A New Standard for CMMC Readiness

Meeting DoD standards takes more than just buying software: it requires gap assessments, System Security Plans (SSPs), and continuous monitoring. 

This partnership brings organizations an integrated solution designed for both compliance and operational continuity:

• Purpose-built without the overhead: Save up to 77% compared to deploying legacy solutions like GCC High by using fewer licenses and eliminating costly deployments.
• Achieve audit readiness: Tap into PreVeil’s C3PAO-validated documentation, backed by Rhymetec’s structured CMMC readiness methodology, reducing friction on the road to certification.
• Eliminate central points of attack: All files and emails are automatically encrypted end-to-end. No one other than intended recipients can read your sensitive information.

For Defense Startups and SMBs

For smaller defense contractors, maintaining contract eligibility is business-critical, but heavy IT migrations are often out of reach. With this partnership, SMBs no longer have to compromise on security or budget.

• Cost-efficient enterprise-grade security: Skip the complex and expensive GCC High migration. Get the compliance you need at a fraction of the cost.
• Zero learning curve: PreVeil integrates directly into existing workflows such as Outlook, Gmail, mobile, and file systems, so your team can keep using the tools they already know, minimizing operational downtime.
• Accelerate your path to contract eligibility: Fast-track your path to meeting DFARS 7012 and NIST 800-171 requirements, building immediate trust with the DoD and prime contractors.

For Mid-Market and Enterprise Organizations

As your organization grows, so does the complexity of your supply chain and the flow of CUI. Protecting sensitive data across a larger attack surface requires proven, scalable solutions.

With Rhymetec and PreVeil, security leaders get:

• A validated path to 110/110: PreVeil has already been used by over 50 defense contractors and C3PAOs to achieve perfect scores on their CMMC assessments.
• Complete tech stack design: Rhymetec integrates PreVeil alongside endpoint hardening, network security, penetration testing, and ongoing awareness training.
• Audit coordination: Get comprehensive evidence preparation and liaison support for C3PAO or government-led assessments so you can walk into your audit with absolute confidence.

A Smarter Way Forward

CMMC is the mechanism the DoD is using to determine who can participate in the future of the defense supply chain.

This partnership ensures organizations don’t approach it as a checklist, but as a strategic capability.

By aligning PreVeil’s compliant collaboration platform with Rhymetec’s end-to-end CMMC readiness program, defense contractors gain the clarity, control, and confidence to move into assessment, and beyond it, with momentum.
