If Any of This Sounds Familiar
Your Next RFP Now Requires CMMC
Your sales team keeps hearing "do you have CMMC Level 2?" Contracts you could win in your sleep now need certification just to see the RFP. Implementation takes months, assessment slots fill up early. Every week you wait shrinks your window
Your Prime Sent the Letter
Lockheed, Raytheon, Northrop.. they're all sending compliance demand letters to their supply chain. "We're working on it" bought you time in 2024. In 2026, it gets you removed from the approved vendor list
Your IT Team Needs Backup
CMMC Level 2 is 110 controls across 14 families, on top of everything else your IT team already manages. Nobody should have to figure out GCC High, NIST 800-171, and CUI scoping alone. We come in as the compliance arm so your team can keep the shop running
Your Own Employees Are a Risk
Four of the five FCA settlements in 2025 started with an employee whistleblower. Only real protection is a documented compliance program
Why We Exist
We Work with Shops Like Yours
Most MSPs bolt on compliance they don't understand. Most CMMC consultants hand you a binder and say "have your IT guy figure it out."
We do both. That's the only way this actually works. Your SSP has to match your technical environment. Your policies have to reflect what your systems actually do. When the C3PAO assessor starts asking questions, someone needs to know the answers at every layer.
We've done GCC High migrations, security control implementation, SSP writing, assessment prep.. all of it. We've seen what passes and what doesn't.
One team owns IT, security, and compliance. Nothing falls through the cracks. And we put it in the contract, not a handshake deal.
The Plan
Three Steps to Certified
Whether you need us to handle everything or just the compliance side, we match it to your situation.

Two Paths Forward
With Certification
- Win new DoD contracts and keep the ones you have
- Satisfy your prime's compliance requirements
- Protection from FCA whistleblower claims. Your program is real and documented
- SPRS score that actually holds up to DOJ scrutiny
- Competitive edge over shops that aren't certified
Without It
- Locked out of new contracts as CMMC clauses hit solicitations
- Removed from prime vendor lists. Lockheed and Raytheon are already sending letters
- False Claims Act exposure. Settlements in 2025 ranged from $421K to $8.4M
- Whistleblower risk from your own employees. 4 of the last 5 cases
- Wrong MSP triggers $40K to $70K in switching and recertification costs
