CMMC Compliance Consulting: Keep Your Defense Contracts Eligible
CMMC assessment requirements are now appearing in DoD solicitations — and flowing down to every subcontractor in the chain. If your revenue touches defense work, certification readiness is a contract-eligibility question. We take contractors from scoping through assessment with the SPRS score to show for it.
- Level 1 and Level 2 readiness against NIST SP 800-171
- CUI scoping that shrinks the assessment boundary — and the cost
- SPRS self-assessment scoring done honestly and defensibly
- SSP and POA&M documentation assessors accept
- Enclave strategies: GCC High, secure enclaves, and when each pays off

Scope the CUI Before You Buy the Controls
CMMC Level 2 means implementing all 110 controls of NIST SP 800-171 across every system that stores, processes, or transmits Controlled Unclassified Information — plus everything connected to those systems. Applied to a whole company network, that is a crushing project. Applied to a properly designed enclave, it is a manageable one. The scoping decision, made before any remediation, determines which project you are buying.
Most machine shops, engineering firms, and specialty subs do not need their entire environment certified — they need the drawings, specs, and contract data isolated where the 110 controls can actually be enforced: a secure enclave, a GCC High tenant, or a segmented environment with controlled interfaces. We design that boundary first, then implement against it.
A representative path: a 45-person precision manufacturer with CUI scattered across email, file shares, and shop-floor machines. We consolidated CUI into a segmented enclave with GCC High for contract communications, cutting in-scope systems by roughly 70%. The SPRS score went from an honest negative to assessment-ready inside two quarters — without re-architecting the whole plant.
- CUI/FCI data-flow mapping before any control spend
- Enclave and tenant architecture designed for your contracts
- SSP, POA&M, and policies written against the real boundary
- Flow-down requirements handled for primes and subs both
