Eligibility

Who could lose DoD work without CMMC

Any company that handles FCI or CUI on a DoD contract, at any tier. If you’re unsure, the consultation call will sort it out.

Subcontractors to primes like Boeing and Lockheed. Your prime has to confirm your CMMC status before it sends you CUI. 

Navy and shipbuilding suppliers. Drawings for a hull section or onboard system are often CUI, even when they arrive as an email attachment. 

Army contractors and defense electronics manufacturers. Test data and build files often fall under CUI rules. 

Any Puget Sound manufacturer handling CUI under a government contract.

 


Before you choose

What to ask any CMMC provider

Have they done this before?

Plenty of firms are learning CMMC on their clients’ contracts. We’re managing full CMMC compliance for a 400-employee company today.

Will they stay after the report?

A gap report on its own leaves you to fix everything yourself. We run your IT, so the controls keep working after the analysis is done.

Are you too small for them?

A 10-person shop and a 400-person manufacturer go through the same phases. Only the hours change with your size.

After Certification

Six months after your certification, would your controls still pass?

A new hire never got security training. A laptop stopped taking updates in March. Nobody noticed, and next month your affirming official signs off that your controls are in place. That’s the gap we close by managing your IT day-to-day once you meet the requirements.

01

Technology advice

The vendor’s sales rep says the tool is “CMMC ready.” We check that claim against the controls you actually need before you spend the money.

02

Implementation projects

A new file server goes in on a Friday, and CUI starts landing somewhere no control covers. We plan and build projects like that ourselves, with the CMMC scope settled before anything goes live.

03

Day-to-day management

We manage your IT environment every day, so a missed update gets fixed the week it happens. Each year we pull together the report and evidence your team needs to confirm its controls are still in place.
