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 Overhead

Large consulting firms weren't built for teams of 10 to 50 people. You need a specialist who understands your scale, not a massive firm with massive overhead.

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.'

Costs vary based on company size, complexity, and current security posture. Contact us for a scoping conversation — we'll give you a clear picture of what's involved before you commit to anything.

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 including policy refreshes, risk assessments on new tools, and staff training integration. Reach out for details on recurring support.

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.
