How It Works

4

Results and path forward

You receive determinations, context, and the next actions required based on your assessment outcome.

CMMC

A sharper path through CMMC complexity.

Following publication of the 48 CFR CMMC Final Rule into the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) on September 10, 2025, contracting officers began incorporating CMMC requirements into new solicitations and contracts as of November 10, 2025. As a result, CMMC clauses are now actively appearing in applicable DoD procurements.

Why it matters

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) raises the bar for cybersecurity across the DIB and requires independent assessments for most contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

Where we can help

Level 1 — Foundational practices to protect FCI
Level 2 — NIST SP 800-171-aligned practices to protect CUI

Always check your contract and official DoD resources for current requirements.

What we deliver

The certifying assessments your business needs to stay SECURE and WINNING Defense Contracts.
