Stay eligible for DoD work.
CMMC is now in DoD contracts, and primes are flowing it down to every subcontractor that touches Federal Contract Information or CUI. If you're a small manufacturer, engineering shop, or service provider in the defense supply chain, we take you from 'not sure where we stand' to assessment-ready — without a federal-sized budget.

The pressures specific to your sector.
CMMC is a condition of award
Solicitations now carry CMMC requirements. Without the required level — self-assessed or C3PAO-certified — you can't be awarded the contract.
Flow-down from your primes
Primes are asking subcontractors for their SPRS scores and CMMC status now. Falling behind risks losing work you already have.
False Claims Act exposure
An inflated SPRS score or an inaccurate affirmation is a legal risk, not just a compliance one. The score has to match the evidence.
Scoping CUI without overbuilding
Drawing the smallest defensible boundary around CUI — sometimes an enclave — is what keeps small contractors' costs sane.
CMMC readiness, start to finish.

Questions, answered.
Which CMMC level do we need?+
If you only handle Federal Contract Information, Level 1 — 15 safeguards, self-assessed annually. If you handle Controlled Unclassified Information, Level 2 — the 110 controls of NIST SP 800-171, usually verified by a C3PAO every three years. Your contracts and your prime will tell you which applies.
We're a small subcontractor. Does this really apply to us?+
Yes. CMMC requirements flow down to subcontractors at every tier that process, store, or transmit FCI or CUI. Size doesn't exempt you.
How long does readiness take?+
Most small and mid-sized contractors reach Level 2 readiness in three to six months, depending on their starting point and whether a CUI enclave is needed. Level 1 is typically much faster.
Are you a C3PAO?+
No — and that's by design. A C3PAO can't both prepare you and certify you. We get you ready and support you through the assessment conducted by an authorized C3PAO.
Ready when you are.
