Close the gaps before the auditor arrives
Readiness for CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, and FedRAMP — from a team that has audited these frameworks firsthand. We tell you where you stand, and get you where you need to be.
The government has suspended the transition to CMMC Phase II — third-party (C3PAO) certification as a condition of contract award — pending a 60-day program review. What hasn't changed: Phase I self-assessment, your NIST SP 800-171 obligations, and the duty to protect CUI all remain in effect. Readiness is still the right move. What this means for contractors →
If you sell to the Department of Defense — even as a subcontractor — and your contracts touch Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI — sensitive government data that isn't classified but must be protected), you already carry security obligations under NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS. Those haven't changed. What has: in July 2026 the government suspended the rollout of CMMC's third-party certification (Phase II) pending a review — but the Phase I self-assessment you report yourself, and the duty to actually protect that data, both remain in force. Readiness is still the work. We find your gaps against those requirements, help you close them, and get you assessment-ready — whether that's the self-assessment on the table today or a C3PAO down the road.
Auditor perspective
Your readiness is guided by a former FedRAMP auditor who spent a decade on the other side of the table. We know exactly what assessors look for — because we were one.
Gap assessment
A clear-eyed read of your current posture against the requirements: what's in place, what's missing, what's at risk.
Remediation support
A prioritized path to close the gaps — with hands-on help implementing the controls that actually move your score.
Evidence & SSP support
We help you build your System Security Plan and gather the evidence an assessor will actually ask for — not a binder of filler.
Assessment preparation
Mock reviews and documentation checks so nothing surprises you when the real assessment starts.
Platform-accelerated
Optionally accelerate everything with OCIC, our compliance automation platform — so readiness work becomes continuous proof.
CMMC readiness, briefly
What is CMMC readiness?
Figuring out where your security stands against CMMC's requirements, fixing what's missing, and building the documentation and evidence — before you pay for the official assessment. Going in unprepared is the expensive way to find your gaps.
Who does CMMC apply to?
Any organization in the defense supply chain that handles Federal Contract Information or CUI. The required level — and whether it's a self-assessment or a third-party (C3PAO) assessment — depends on your specific contract. If DFARS 252.204-7012 or a CMMC clause appears in your solicitations, it applies to you at the level they specify. Not sure? That's a fine first question to ask us.
Did the July 2026 CMMC suspension change this?
The government suspended the transition to Phase II — third-party certification as a condition of award — on July 13, 2026, pending a 60-day review. What didn't change: Phase I self-assessment, your NIST SP 800-171 obligations, and the duty to protect CUI all remain in effect. Readiness still matters — the requirements behind CMMC are unchanged, and certification is being reworked, not retired.
