We are a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO) for CMMC.
What is CMMC?
CMMC is a compliance framework developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to protect sensitive information within the defense supply chain. It requires contractors and subcontractors that work with the DoD to implement a set of cybersecurity practices and processes.
Meeting CMMC standards is essential for maintaining contracts and staying competitive in the defense industry. Certification is mandatory for maintaining and competing for DoD contracts—and failure to comply may result in loss of eligibility.
Drive trust in the defense sector with CMMC certification
CMMC certification is critical to fulfilling DoD requirements but also allows you to show a commitment to cybersecurity, reduces the risk of breaches and protects the trust of clients and partners. Certification can be a deciding factor in winning new contracts or maintaining existing ones in the defense sector.
By meeting CMMC requirements, you maintain eligibility for DoD contracts and also position your business as a trusted partner in a highly regulated industry.
Our approach to CMMC compliance
We guide you through every step of the CMMC readiness process, starting with a gap assessment to identify areas where your organization needs to strengthen its cybersecurity practices. From there, we build a tailored roadmap, implement required controls, and prepare all documentation needed for certification.
Level 1 (Foundational)
Focused on implementation of 17 foundational security practices derived from FAR 52.204-21 and aligned with NIST SP 800-171, focused on safeguarding Federal Contract Information (FCI).
Level 2 (Advanced)
Aligned with NIST SP 800-171. This level applies to most contractors managing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Organizations are classified as prioritized (subject to C3PAO assessment) or non-prioritized (eligible for self-assessment)
Level 3 (Expert)
Based on NIST SP 800-172, this level applies to contractors supporting the most sensitive DoD programs. It requires a government-led assessment and advanced security controls.
