CMMC Compliance
Keep Your Government Contracts and Your Reputation Safe
If your small or mid-sized business (SMB) works with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) or its contractors, handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) securely isn’t optional — it’s mandatory.
That’s where the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) comes in. It’s the DoD’s standard to ensure contractors — big or small — have the right cybersecurity practices to protect sensitive data.
Why It Matters for SMBs
-
No certification = no contract — All new DoD Requests for Proposal (RFPs) require a CMMC level.
-
Level playing field — Even as an SMB, you must meet the same security standards as prime contractors.
-
Business protection — Compliance reduces your risk of data breaches and lost revenue.
How It Works
CMMC has five levels of security, built on the NIST 800 framework. To get certified, you’ll need to pass an audit by a CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).
How We Help SMBs Win
We guide SMBs through every step — from readiness assessments to audit preparation — so you can stay compliant, avoid costly delays, and keep winning DoD work. Our approach is straightforward, affordable, and designed to take the stress out of compliance.
Pro Tip: Get a pre-assessment before the official audit — it’s the fastest way to uncover and fix gaps before they cost you contracts.
Looking to Become PCI Compliant
New rules around the security of payment card data are set to take effect with PCI DSS Version 4.01, beginning June 2024. While changes in the new regulations focus on clarification, providing merchants and payment processors with additional information on expectations and requirements, small businesses will want to pay particular attention to a handful of upcoming revisions.
Looking to Become HIPAA Compliant
Rules surrounding the security of protected health information (PHI) are set forth in HIPAA regulations, with the latest changes published in 2025. These regulations have provided general guidelines and mandates for all covered entities. This includes all vendors that might have access to PHI either physically or electronically will need to have a Business Associate agreement with the covered entity.
