Your prime wants proof. We get you ready for CMMC and NIST 800-171 with an SPRS score you can defend.

ISO 9001:2015One partner, from your first scoping session through annual affirmation. These four stages are one engagement, not four products to choose between. Most contractors join at the stage that matches where they are today, then carry the same team through the rest. Every stage is scoped to your CUI footprint, not sold as a fixed package, and monthly options spread the cost as the work builds.
Know exactly where you stand against all the CMMC requirements.
We pick up where Bronze leaves off and turn the roadmap into CMMC readiness.
We carry your readiness into the CMMC assessment.
Once you are certified, we help you stay compliant.
Whether you start at scoping or after you are certified, it is the same team the whole way.
Free 30-minute consult, no obligation
For a small contractor, the stress is not the control count. It is getting scope right, producing evidence that holds up, and staying ready without a compliance team.
We shrink the bill by shrinking the scope, and use FedRAMP-authorized cloud only where it fits.
We map how CUI moves through your business, your cloud services, outside providers, and subcontractors, so nothing is missed or over-counted.
We build the SSP, the evidence, the asset inventory, and the control write-ups to the standard an assessor accepts.
We run mock reviews, evidence checks, and interview prep first, so problems surface early, on your terms.
We tell you what can go on a POA&M, what can't, and how to close allowed gaps inside the 180-day window.
We run your annual affirmation, keep your SPRS score current, and watch for the lapses that cost contractors their status.
We vet MSPs, cloud providers, and assessors with you, so you pick partners who know CMMC.

The contractor had just acquired a manufacturer. That meant two IT environments and one set of DoD deadlines. We brought identity, policies, and controls together across both companies, on time.
IT was spread across five active Navy ports on GCC High. We ran five workstreams side by side, met every two weeks, and put a C3PAO pre-assessment on the calendar.
No security program and no IT staff. We kept CUI on two encrypted laptops, a separate Wi-Fi network, and a GCC subdomain. Payments were tied to SPRS milestones.

There is no flat price for CMMC. Any quote given before scoping your CUI is a guess. Four things move the number.
Level 2 has 110 requirements. Level 1 has 15. That means months of work instead of weeks.
Every system and site that touches CUI is in scope, and each one adds cost. Good scoping, or a CMMC enclave, keeps the rest of your business out.
The lower your score, the more you have to fix. We measure it first, so the estimate is based on your real gaps.
Systems that already meet the rules just need proof. Email or file storage that does not meet the DFARS 7012 cloud requirement (FedRAMP Moderate or equivalent) means a migration.
A fixed fee, or payments tied to SPRS milestones, sized to your CUI footprint. The free consult ends with a rough range. Scoping turns it into a fixed number.

That email usually comes from the prime's supply-chain team, and it usually has a deadline. To answer it, you need a current CMMC status in SPRS and proof you can stand behind. That means a gap report, a POA&M starter, and an honest SPRS score. A final Level 2 self-assessment is valid for up to three years. But you must renew the affirmation behind it every year. Our readiness assessment gives you that proof in two to four weeks for most small and mid-size contractors. Start with the free consult and bring the prime's letter. We will tell you what it really asks for.
Yes. On July 13, 2026, the DoD paused CMMC Phase 2 while it reviews the program. Phase 2 is the step that would require a third-party (C3PAO) assessment before award. Phase 1 has been in effect since November 10, 2025. So contracts that include CMMC still need a Level 1 or Level 2 self-assessment before award. DFARS 252.204-7012, your SPRS score, and the annual affirmation all still apply. And many primes still ask their suppliers for proof of readiness. Waiting is the expensive option. Level 2 work usually takes six to eighteen months, whatever the review decides.
No. It is the most common situation we see, and several of our case-study clients had no in-house IT at all. We bring the security tools you need, such as MFA, endpoint protection, and a government cloud setup, through partners we work with every week. We also train your team, so you can keep the program running after we finish.
Three things. First, we get to know your business, your contracts, and what your prime is asking for. Second, we tell you which CMMC level applies, how long it should take, how much effort it needs, and a rough cost range. Third, we show you real examples of our work and map out who does what, from your team and your IT provider to us. Bring your prime's letter or your solicitation if you have one. No obligation, NDA on request.
Your total has two parts. The first is the C3PAO assessment fee, which is set by the assessor you choose. The second, and larger, is getting ready and fixing gaps. That cost depends on how much CUI you handle, how many systems and sites touch it, and where your security stands today. That is why we scope first, and why we charge a fixed fee, by milestone, or by retainer instead of by the hour. The consult gives you a rough range before you commit to anything.
No, and that is by design. We are a Cyber-AB RPO. We get you ready for the assessment. A C3PAO, a separate certified company, does the official Level 2 assessment. The Cyber AB requires these roles to stay separate. That protects you and keeps your certification clean.
The readiness assessment takes two to four weeks for most small and mid-size contractors. For Level 2, getting fully ready usually takes six to eighteen months, depending on where you start and your scope. A Level 1 program can be ready in weeks. Scoping first is how we keep those numbers honest.
GCC and GCC High are Microsoft 365 government-cloud tenants designed for federal data. GCC High is the standard answer for CUI; GCC works for many Level 1 / FCI-only environments. We scope this in the first two weeks. Over-buying GCC High when you don't need it is one of the most common avoidable expenses.
Yes. The 110 controls apply to a sole proprietor the same way they apply to a 200-person manufacturer, and the standard playbook breaks for very small teams. We redesign delivery for that scale (lean CUI architecture, milestone pricing, transferred capability) so an owner-operator can actually own, execute, and sustain the program alongside billable work. See how we scoped CMMC Level 2 for a solo defense-technology consultant carrying all 110 controls.
A CMMC compliance consultant scopes where your CUI lives, runs a gap assessment against the controls, builds your SSP and POA&M, helps you remediate, and computes and improves your SPRS score, then runs a mock assessment before the C3PAO arrives. Working as an RPO, the consultant prepares you. It does not run the official assessment.
Send your details or book a time. Either way, you leave with next steps and a cost range you can plan around. Level 2 work usually takes six to eighteen months, and your prime's deadline won't wait.
