CMMC 2.0 Assessment & Remediation for DoD Contractors
Level 2 third-party assessments are required for DoD contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). If you're in the defense industrial base, CMMC 2.0 compliance isn't optional — it's a contract requirement.
The clock is running.
Phase 1 (self-assessments for Level 1) is already in effect. Phase 2 brings third-party assessments for Level 2 — the level required for most DoD contracts involving CUI. If you haven't started preparation, you're behind.
Assess. Remediate. Certify.
We don't hand you a gap assessment and wish you luck. We assess your current posture, remediate the gaps with you, and prepare you for the C3PAO audit. One engagement. Three phases. No gaps between them.
Gap Assessment
Map your current security posture against all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls. Identify gaps, prioritize by risk and effort. Produce a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) with realistic timelines.
→Close the Gaps
Forward Deployed Engineers embed in your team to implement controls. Policy development, technical hardening, access management, incident response procedures, encryption, monitoring — the actual work.
→C3PAO Audit Prep
Evidence packaging, documentation review, mock assessments, staff preparation. When the C3PAO assessor arrives, your team is ready — not scrambling. We stay through the audit cycle.
What Level 2 actually requires.
Level 2 maps to 110 security controls from NIST SP 800-171. These span 14 control families covering every aspect of how you handle CUI.
Access Control
Limit system access to authorized users. Role-based access, remote access policies, wireless restrictions, mobile device management.
Audit & Accountability
Create, protect, and retain audit logs. Monitor and analyze events. Alert on failures. Maintain chain of custody for all CUI access.
Configuration Management
Baseline configurations. Change control. Least functionality. Software restrictions. Security impact analysis before changes.
Incident Response
Incident handling capability. Detection, analysis, containment, recovery. Report incidents to DoD within 72 hours. Test response plans.
System & Communications
Boundary protection. Encryption in transit and at rest. Network segmentation. VPN requirements. FIPS-validated cryptography.
Risk Assessment
Periodic risk assessments. Vulnerability scanning. Remediation of findings. Risk-based prioritization of security investments.
