Framework readiness

CMMC Readiness

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the US Department of Defense program that requires contractors handling sensitive defense information to meet the NIST SP 800-171 controls. If controlled unclassified information touches your systems, CMMC eventually gates your eligibility to win and keep DoD work. We assess you against the controls and build the roadmap to close the gaps.

Built for teams that...

  • US defense contractors and subcontractors handling controlled unclassified information (CUI)
  • Companies in the Defense Industrial Base told they need CMMC to keep contracts
  • Suppliers that have never formally assessed themselves against NIST SP 800-171
  • Canadian firms in the US defense supply chain who also face CPCSC at home

What we do

  • Scoping of the systems and CUI in scope for CMMC
  • Gap assessment against the applicable NIST SP 800-171 controls
  • System Security Plan (SSP) and Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) support
  • Prioritized remediation roadmap to close control gaps
  • Evidence collection to substantiate each implemented control
  • Preparation for the assessment appropriate to your required CMMC level

What you walk away with

You get a clear read on where you stand against NIST SP 800-171, a documented System Security Plan, and a remediation roadmap that moves you toward the CMMC level your contracts require. If you also supply the Canadian defence market, we align the work with CPCSC so a single control program serves both.

Frequently asked questions

What is CMMC?

CMMC is the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, a US Department of Defense program that requires contractors to implement cybersecurity controls based on NIST SP 800-171 to protect controlled unclassified information across the defense supply chain.

What are the NIST SP 800-171 controls?

NIST SP 800-171 is a US standard specifying security requirements for protecting controlled unclassified information in non-federal systems. Its control families form the technical backbone of CMMC, which is why readiness centers on assessing yourself against them.

How does CMMC relate to Canada’s CPCSC?

Both programs draw on the NIST SP 800-171 control set, so the safeguards overlap substantially. A company selling into both the US and Canadian defense markets can run one aligned control program to address CMMC and CPCSC together.

How long does CMMC readiness take?

It varies with your required level, how much CUI you handle, and the maturity of your existing controls. We scope a realistic timeline after assessing current state rather than committing to a fixed number up front.
