U.S. defense industrial base · CMMC 2.0 · NIST 800-171
The MSSP for U.S. defense contractors and government subcontractors.
Defense primes and subcontractors across all 50 states are racing the same CMMC 2.0 clock. If your contracts touch Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information, you need a security partner who speaks NIST 800-171, DFARS 252.204-7012, SPRS, SSP, and POA&M — with U.S.-based analysts and an evidence library your C3PAO will actually accept.

Who we serve
Built for the U.S. Defense Industrial Base.
Manufacturers, integrators, software shops, professional services, and engineering firms that bid on DoW work all carry the same compliance bar. We support primes and subcontractors nationwide — from the engineering corridor in Huntsville to the shipyards in Norfolk to the aerospace hubs of Southern California.

Frameworks we map to
DoW's audit reality, in plain English.
We deliver against the frameworks your prime and your assessor actually care about. Evidence packages are mapped, dated, and version-controlled.

Where does your CUI environment actually stand against NIST 800-171?
Eighteen questions across the six 800-171 control families that anchor CMMC 2.0 Level 2 — Access Control, Audit & Accountability, Configuration Management, Identification & Authentication, Incident Response, and Risk Management. SPRS-aware. Scored locally in your browser. About ten minutes.
-
Do you work with defense contractors outside Hawaii?
Yes. We serve U.S. defense contractors and government subcontractors nationwide — from coast to coast. Engagements are remote-first with U.S.-based analysts handling CUI under DFARS-aligned controls. The CMMC bar is the same in Huntsville, Hartford, San Diego, or anywhere else FCI or CUI lives.
-
Are your analysts U.S. persons?
Yes. All telemetry and CUI handling is done by U.S.-based personnel working across multiple time zones, which is how we deliver continuous 24/7 coverage from cleared U.S. personnel without ever touching offshore tier-1. For DFARS 252.204-7012 / CMMC engagements we scope dedicated U.S.-citizen analyst pools and document personnel handling in the SSP.
-
When does CMMC 2.0 actually start affecting my contracts?
The final rule was published December 16, 2024. Phase 1 enforcement began November 10, 2025. Full Level 2 third-party assessment requirements phase in through November 10, 2026. See our CMMC service for the full timeline.
-
What level do I need — Level 1 or Level 2?
If you handle Federal Contract Information (FCI) only, Level 1 — 17 controls, annual self-assessment. If you handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Level 2 — 110 controls from NIST 800-171, third-party C3PAO assessment for most programs. Level 3 is government-led and rare for subcontractors. We confirm in a 1-hour scoping call.
-
Do you handle GCC High migrations?
Yes — including hand-offs from commercial M365 to GCC High with documented SSP language for the assessor. See M365 services.
