What CMMC means for your business

CMMC is the Department of Defense’s cybersecurity maturity model for contractors that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). It sets required practices and maturity expectations so DoD buyers can trust suppliers to protect sensitive data. For manufacturers, defense subcontractors, and any organization on the DoD supply chain, meeting CMMC is mandatory to keep and win government work. We make CMMC practical by turning complex technical and procedural requirements into an auditable, runable security program.

Key considerations — what actually matters

  • Correct scoping — identify which systems, facilities, and staff touch CUI so you target the right controls.
  • CUI protections — implement access controls, segmentation, and data handling rules so sensitive information is isolated and controlled.
  • Evidence and operation — collect audit-grade evidence during normal work so you prove repeatable control operation rather than scrambling before assessment.
  • People and process — training, role definitions, and vendor controls are as important as technical fixes for passing CMMC assessments.

How we help — hands-on and results-driven

We turn the CMMC rulebook into a step-by-step project that delivers measurable business outcomes: lower bid risk, fewer audit surprises, and documented proof you can show buyers.

You get

  • A 360° CMMC Snapshot across users, endpoints, cloud, on-prem systems, network, backups, and processes.
  • A mapped control register and plain-language policies tied to the CMMC practices you need.
  • Hands-on implementation so technical controls and process changes are deployed and documented.
  • A ticketed evidence trail inspectors can follow, plus recurring tests so control operation is proven over time.
  • Mock assessments and tabletop exercises so your staff perform confidently during the formal review.

Our five-step process — client friendly

  1. Scope & align — confirm the CMMC level required, define the systems and CUI in scope, and agree success criteria.
  2. 360° CMMC Snapshot (5 days) — a focused readiness check that shows every gap and produces a prioritized Remediation Roadmap.
  3. Design & owners — we produce the control mapping and plain-language policies, and we assign owners for each practice.
  4. Implement & evidence — we deploy controls, log every change in tickets, and attach signed, time-stamped evidence; recurring tests prove operation.
  5. Test, assess & operate — mock assessments, gap closure, assessment facilitation, and an operating plan for continuous compliance.

Deliverables — what you walk away with

  • CMMC Snapshot Report — full 360° findings and a prioritized Remediation Roadmap.
  • Control register & policy pack — mapped practices, plain policies, and named owners.
  • Audit-ready evidence — ticketed remediation with signed, time-stamped proof for each control.
  • Mock assessment results & training — staff coaching, tabletop outputs, and remediation notes.
  • Ongoing operating plan — recurring checks, governance calendar, and review cadence so compliance scales with your business.

Timeline & expectations

  • Days 1–5 — CMMC Snapshot and prioritized remediation roadmap. We guarantee clarity in five business days or refund 110%.
  • Week 2 onward — prioritized remediation sprints with weekly progress updates. Full readiness timelines vary by scope and level, but we move the highest-impact items first so you can bid with confidence sooner.
  • Post-remediation — mock assessment then formal assessment support and a handover for continuous compliance.

Acceptance criteria — how success is measured

  • All scoped CMMC practices mapped and assigned to named owners.
  • Signed, time-stamped evidence linked to each practice via project tickets.
  • Mock assessment completed with only minor, manageable findings.
  • Governance cadence and SOPs live and actively used. These are the standards assessors expect and the standards we deliver.

Risks and how we mitigate them

  • Scope drift or missing owners — we lock scope at intake and require named owners in the control register.
  • Lack of repeatable evidence — we create ticket workflows and recurring tests so evidence is produced during normal operations.
  • Operational disruption — we sequence remediation to protect production workflows, preferring staged and tested changes over blunt switchover.
  • Third-party gaps — we assess vendor risk, require appropriate contracts, and help close supply-chain weaknesses before assessment time.

Three simple next steps — benefit-first

  1. Book a free 30-minute Clarity Consultation — we confirm your required CMMC level, scope, and the immediate business benefits of remediation.
  2. We run the 5-day CMMC Snapshot — you receive a 360° report calling out the highest-value fixes, expected impact on bidability and risk, and when you’ll start seeing evidence.
  3. We kick off Week 1 sprint — a Delivery Lead is assigned, we implement priority items, and you begin seeing measurable improvements and documented evidence right away.
