Why CMMC Matters for Your DoD Contracts

CMMC certification is now mandatory for DoD contracts. Here's what's at stake.

Risk of Contract Loss

CMMC is mandatory for DoD contracts. Without certification, you lose the ability to bid on or retain government work. The deadline isn't negotiable.

Complexity Overload

NIST 800-171 has 110 security requirements across 14 domains. Figuring it out alone takes months of research and expensive trial-and-error.

Enterprise-Level Pricing

Large consulting firms charge six figures for CMMC preparation. That's not scalable for teams of 10 to 50 people. You need a specialist, not a massive firm.

Common Questions

NIST 800-171 is the technical standard with 110 security requirements. CMMC is the certification program that verifies you've implemented those requirements through a third-party assessment. Think of NIST as the 'what' and CMMC as the 'proof.'

For a small contractor (10–50 employees), budget approximately $40k–$75k for assessment and implementation, then $10k–$30k for the C3PAO certification audit itself. Ongoing compliance runs $2k–$6k/month.

No — and any consultant who guarantees certification should be a red flag. We provide thorough preparation and guidance so you're assessment-ready, but the final certification is conducted by an independent C3PAO. Our role is advisory.

No. You receive a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) documenting specific findings. You remediate those gaps, provide new evidence, and the C3PAO re-assesses only those controls. You don't restart from scratch.

Not always. Microsoft 365 Business Premium can meet CMMC Level 2 requirements when properly configured. GCC High is required only for ITAR data or when your contract specifically mandates it, and costs significantly more.

Typically 3–6 months from kickoff to C3PAO assessment: 2–3 weeks for gap assessment, 8–12 weeks for implementation, then scheduling the certification audit.

Yes. We offer monthly or quarterly compliance monitoring packages ($2k–$6k/month) including policy refreshes, risk assessments on new tools, and staff training integration.

Specialized assets like IoT devices, OT equipment, and test systems that can't fully meet CMMC requirements are documented as 'Specialized Assets' in scoping. We help you properly categorize and manage these within your assessment boundary.
