Level 1 — Foundational
Protects FCI (Federal Contract Information).
17 practices · annual self-assessment. If you handle federal contract info but not CUI, this is usually you.
For Defense Contractors
CMMC, without the panic.
If a prime or the DoD is asking about CMMC, you don't need a consultant who speaks in acronyms. You need someone who's worn the uniform, holds the credentials, and will tell you plainly where you stand and what to fix. A Marine Corps Veteran, CISSP-led firm — security and compliance built from within, not bolted on.

No CMMC, no DoD work.
CMMC is how the DoD verifies that contractors protect federal contract information (FCI) and controlled unclassified information (CUI). It's phasing into DoD contracts now, and primes are pushing it down to subcontractors. The math is simple: meet the requirement and stay eligible, or watch the work go to someone who did. The good news — for most small contractors, this is achievable, and you don't have to figure it out alone.
Deadlines and contract clauses roll out on the DoD's timeline — confirm what applies to your contracts with your contracting officer. We'll help you read it.
Level 1 or Level 2 — start by knowing which.
Level 2 — Advanced
Protects CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information).
110 practices aligned to NIST SP 800-171 · assessed by a C3PAO or self, per the contract. Where most of the real work lives.
Not sure which applies? That's the first thing our assessment answers.
We get you ready. We don't sell you a certificate.
Anyone promising a "guaranteed CMMC certification" is selling something we won't. What we do is the work that makes certification — or a clean self-assessment — achievable:
01
Readiness assessment
We measure you against the required practices and give you an honest gap report and an SPRS-style score.
02
SSP & POA&M
We help build the System Security Plan and Plan of Action & Milestones assessors expect to see.
03
Remediation
We close the gaps — MFA, encryption, access control, logging, incident response — built from within, not bolted on.
04
Sustainment
We keep you compliant as contracts and rules change. Compliance is continuous, not a one-time event.
We've been on your side of the wire.
Founded by a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran with a CISSP and an MBA — someone who understands the mission, the chain of accountability, and the language in the contract. We translate 800-171 into plain English, respect that you're running a business while you do this, and treat your CUI like it's our own.

CMMC — straight answers
Do you certify CMMC?
No — only an authorized C3PAO certifies a Level 2 assessment. We get you ready and help you pass, and support Level 1 / L2 self-assessment.
How long does readiness take?
It depends on your gaps; the assessment gives you the timeline. Common small-contractor gaps are weeks, not years.
We’re small — does CMMC apply to us?
If you hold or want DoD work and touch FCI or CUI, very likely. Size doesn’t exempt you, and primes are pushing it down to subcontractors.
What’s the difference between FCI and CUI?
FCI is federal contract information (→ Level 1); CUI is controlled unclassified information (→ Level 2). The assessment confirms which you handle.
Start with where you actually stand.
A confidential readiness assessment gives you a gap report, an SPRS-style score, and a prioritized plan you can take to your prime or contracting officer.
