DoD-authorized C3PAO consulting expertise purpose-built for aerospace and defense contractors. Helping aerospace primes and their supply chain partners achieve CMMC assessment readiness with flexible, proven solutions aligned to NIST SP 800-171 and the CMMC 2.0 framework. The practice guides aerospace and defense organizations through the full assessment journey — from initial gap analysis and mock readiness assessments to official CMMC Level 2 C3PAO certification — ensuring ongoing compliance with DoD cybersecurity requirements essential for contract award and retention.

CMMC compliance services tailored to engineering firms and consulting companies operating within the defense supply chain. Flexible consulting backed by today's best CMMC technology solutions, provided by a cleared candidate C3PAO firm, helps engineering organizations protect CUI and satisfy DoD contract requirements. From readiness 'mock' assessments and gap analysis through to formal CMMC Level 2 C3PAO assessments, the practice addresses the unique cybersecurity challenges facing engineering and consulting firms — including distributed workforces, complex IT environments, and sensitive program data — ensuring continued eligibility for DoD and federal contracts.

DoD-authorized C3PAO consulting expertise for IT companies and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) navigating CMMC compliance. IT and MSP organizations supporting defense contractors handle sensitive CUI on behalf of their clients, making their own CMMC certification critical for business continuity and contract eligibility. The practice delivers end-to-end CMMC services for IT/MSP companies — including gap analysis, compliance consulting, readiness assessments, and official Level 2 C3PAO assessments — addressing the specific challenges MSPs face around multi-client environments, shared infrastructure, and the expanded scope of managed services within the defense industrial base.

CMMC compliance consulting for defense manufacturers, delivered by a DoD-authorized C3PAO firm. Flexible solutions and the Best Price Guarantee help defense manufacturing companies achieve full CMMC Level 2 assessment readiness, protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) across their supply chain. From gap analysis through formal C3PAO assessment, the practice supports defense manufacturers handling Federal Contract Information and sensitive DoD program data. Expertise spans the full CMMC lifecycle — readiness assessments, remediation consulting, and official Level 2 assessments — ensuring manufacturers stay contract-eligible in an increasingly regulated defense industrial base.

CMMC compliance consulting and C3PAO assessment services for defense software development companies. Software developers working within the DoD supply chain handle Controlled Unclassified Information as part of their development workflows, requiring rigorous cybersecurity controls and formal CMMC certification. Flexible solutions and the Best Price Guarantee enable software development firms to achieve CMMC Level 2 readiness efficiently — from initial gap analysis and mock assessments through to official DoD-authorized C3PAO certification — protecting sensitive program data and maintaining eligibility for defense software contracts.

Official CMMC Level 2 Certification Assessment conducted by Cyber AB-authorized Lead CCAs, covering pre-assessment scoping, evidence review, interviews, testing, and DoD eMASS submission. This assessment validates an organization's compliance against NIST 800-171 requirements and delivers final CMMC certification status for DoD contractors and subcontractors. The service includes comprehensive evaluation across all CMMC practice groups, identification of control implementation gaps, and formal submission to the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA). Multiple case studies demonstrate successful Level 2 Final Status achievement for aerospace, defense manufacturing, and technology companies across multiple facility locations and CAGE Codes.

Hands-on consulting to build a comprehensive CMMC compliance program aligned with NIST 800-171 requirements, remediate identified control gaps, develop System Security Plans (SSPs), and establish policies and procedures. The service addresses organizational readiness across people, processes, and technology domains required for CMMC certification. Sub-services include POA&M (Plan of Action and Milestones) remediation, SSP and policies development, CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) marking and labeling programs, CMMC compliance training, and new technology guidance. Case study evidence demonstrates successful resolution of failing SPRS scores and organizational preparation for DoD contract re-compete scenarios.

Scoping and evaluation service that identifies compliance gaps against NIST 800-171 and CMMC maturity requirements, assesses actual SPRS (Security Posture Rating Score) performance, and provides a prioritized remediation roadmap. The service establishes baseline compliance posture and delivers transparent findings on control implementation status across all CMMC practice domains. Case study evidence demonstrates successful gap analysis execution for small manufacturing companies with limited resources and organizations with complex infrastructure, followed by successful voluntary CMMC assessments. The service precedes both mock and certification assessments to establish clear remediation requirements.

A bundled, phased service combining a Readiness Mock Assessment and official CMMC Level 2 Certification Assessment delivered by the same C3PAO team, offering 50% savings on the practice run component. This integrated approach enables organizations to execute both readiness validation and final certification in a coordinated engagement with continuity of assessment methodology and findings. The bundle reduces total assessment costs while maintaining assessment quality and ensuring that remediation guidance from the mock assessment directly informs the preparation for official certification.

Consulting service that determines whether a company selling COTS products to DoD or prime contractors qualifies for CMMC and DFARS exemption under regulatory provisions, avoiding unnecessary and costly compliance program buildout. The service evaluates product design, customization practices, and contractual relationships to establish exemption eligibility and document the rationale for compliance authorities. Case study evidence demonstrates successful exemption qualification for precision fluid dispensing equipment manufacturers and precious metals suppliers, enabling organizations to avoid CMMC certification and control implementation costs when regulatory exemptions apply.

A practice-run C3PAO-grade assessment conducted by the same authorized assessment team that identifies compliance deficiencies and validates organizational readiness before the official CMMC Level 2 Certification Assessment. The mock assessment follows the same rigor and scope as the certification assessment, providing a low-risk opportunity to discover gaps and remediate before the final audit. This service reduces the risk of assessment failure and DoD compliance violations by enabling organizations to address weaknesses in advance. Case study evidence demonstrates successful validation of readiness for aerospace clients prior to official certification assessments.
