Don't Let CMMC Cost You
Your Next Contract.
Phase 2 C3PAO assessments begin November 2026. We help SMB defense contractors get ready with enclave-scoped compliance—defensible artifacts, predictable cost, no enterprise bloat.
Time remaining until Phase 2 C3PAO assessments:
Here's What You Need to Know
No tech jargon. No confusion. Just the facts.
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is the Department of Defense's way of making sure defense contractors protect sensitive information.
If you work with the DoD, this affects you.
The Problem
Hackers target defense contractors to steal sensitive government data. The DoD needs proof you're protected.
The Requirement
You must meet 110 cybersecurity controls and prove it with official documentation.
The Bottom Line
Compliance is now mandatory. It's that simple.
No CMMC = No DoD Contracts
Starting November 2026, you'll need certification to bid on contracts.
Don't worry — you don't need to become a cybersecurity expert.
We translate complex requirements into clear action steps, build your documentation, and get you assessment-ready. No jargon, no confusion.

Secure Only What Touches CUI
Most small defense contractors do not need to secure their entire company to meet CMMC requirements. We design CUI-scoped enclaves that isolate regulated data—reducing cost, audit surface, and disruption.
- Smaller assessment boundary
- Lower licensing & tooling costs
- Faster readiness timelines
- Easier adoption for small teams
Our Promise: We will never recommend enterprise-wide solutions when an enclave meets the requirement.

We specialize in small and medium defense contractors who need clarity and control. This focus helps keep engagements scoped, predictable, and affordable.
We are not a fit for:
- Enterprises seeking Big-4 audit firms
- "Check-the-box" compliance without real security
- Firms seeking C3PAO certification services directly
