Defense & Aerospace
For the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), cybersecurity is no longer optional—it's a contract requirement. We help contractors align with NIST 800-171 and prepare for CMMC assessments without paralyzing their workflow.
Common Challenges
- ⚠ CMMC Uncertainty: Navigating the shifting requirements of CMMC Levels 1 and 2.
- ⚠ Handling CUI: Properly identifying and securing Controlled Unclassified Information.
- ⚠ SPRS Scores: The need to self-assess and report accurate scores to the DoD.
How We Help
- ✓ Gap Analysis: We assess your current state against NIST 800-171 controls.
- ✓ GovCloud Migration: Assistance moving to Microsoft 365 GCC/GCC High if required for your data types.
- ✓ SSP & POA&M: We help draft your System Security Plan and Plan of Action & Milestones.
Key Takeaways
We don't just "fix it" once. We provide the ongoing monitoring and evidence generation required to stay compliant.
Not everyone needs GCC High. We help you determine the appropriate enclave strategy for your contracts.
Specific reporting timelines can apply to DIB contractors. We help establish the protocols and evidence paths before you need them.
Security & compliance readiness
In the DIB, “security” quickly turns into contract requirements. If audits, SPRS scoring, or customer reviews are in your world, you need controls and evidence that hold up under scrutiny.
CMMC-style assessments reward consistent controls and documented evidence.
MFA, least privilege, and logging are table stakes for compliance alignment.
Backups only matter if restores are proven and operational.
Build a repeatable evidence pack for security questionnaires.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a C3PAO?
No, we are an MSP/MSSP that specializes in CMMC readiness. We prepare you for the assessment, implement the controls, and manage the environment. We do not perform the final certification audit. We are also a GSA Schedule holder.
Do I need Microsoft 365 GCC High?
It depends on whether you handle ITAR data or specified CUI with export controls. We can help evaluate your data types to see if commercial 365 is sufficient or if GCC High is required.
Can you help improve our SPRS score?
Yes. We work through the 110 controls of NIST 800-171, implementing fixes to close open items on your POA&M, directly increasing your score.
