Certification readiness, built the way an assessor will actually test it.
We take defense contractors from an unscored SPRS entry to assessment day — mapping every control, drafting the System Security Plan, and rehearsing the interview before the C3PAO ever asks a question.
CMMC Resources
Practical guidance for defense contractors preparing for CMMC.
Understand the 15 FAR 52.204-21 safeguarding requirements and 17 CMMC Level 1 practices, including implementation considerations, evidence to prepare, and how each practice may be assessed.
Assess the 15 FAR 52.204-21 safeguarding requirements for CMMC Level 1, identify FCI protection gaps, and prepare for a Level 1 self-assessment.

Calculate an estimated CMMC Level 2 score across all 110 NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 requirements, identify POA&M eligibility issues, and review domain gaps.
The three levels, plainly
Your target level is set by the sensitivity of the Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) you handle — not by ambition.

How we get you there
Three engagement types, used independently or as a full journey from first gap analysis through year-round maintenance.
A control-by-control review against your target level, scored against SPRS methodology, with a prioritized POA&M.
- NIST SP 800-171 / 800-172 control mapping
- System Security Plan drafting & review
- CUI boundary and data-flow diagrams
Mock assessments run the way a C3PAO will run them, so evidence, interviews, and artifacts are ready before assessment day.
- Evidence package organization
- Mock C3PAO interviews with staff
- DFARS flow-down review
Ongoing support for teams that need compliance maintained between assessments, not just achieved once.
- Quarterly control monitoring
- Policy & SSP version control
- Subcontractor flow-down tracking
How an engagement runs
Most contractors move through all five stages in four to eight weeks, depending on target level and current maturity.
