Pass your CMMC assessment.
Don’t learn it on the clock.
The DoD is moving from honor-system to certified posture, and the C3PAO who decides whether you pass cannot be the same firm that helps you prepare. Engage an RPO early, get audit-ready, then bring in the assessor.
For defense suppliers, primes, and subs whose contracts touch CUI — CISOs, compliance officers, and engineering leads on the hook for Level 2.

CMMC isn’t optional for defense suppliers anymore.
If your contracts touch CUI, the DoD is moving from honor-system to certified posture. The shops that prepared early are winning the work.
The compliance gate is closing.
DoD contractors and subs are working against a calendar — CMMC Level 2 certification is becoming a prerequisite for awards that touch Controlled Unclassified Information. Waiting for the contract to ask is no longer a viable plan.
Most contractors are scrambling.
Existing IT setups built for general security rarely map cleanly to NIST SP 800-171’s 110 controls. Self-assessments stall. Auditors find gaps in evidence. Remediation eats the calendar that should have been spent winning new work.
Practice, evidence, and posture — by people who’ve shipped it.
We don’t sell you a binder. We bring an evidence-driven compliance practice, our CUI handling and audit tooling (CUIVault, GoNist800), and engineers who have stood up CMMC programs on real contracts — so your assessment goes the way you want it to.
Our staff has been practicing Cyber for decades. Our origin story starts with the federal government and continues into the private sector. We are not auditors, but we are well trained and practiced in the application of cyber security and data protection.
If you are looking for a quick rundown of your NIST-800 posture as it related to the CMMC 2.0, then head over to GoNist800 and get a free self assessment.
Hope is not a plan. We are the plan that leads to success.
A CMMC Level 2 assessment is a regulated, high-stakes event. By Cyber AB rules, the C3PAO who decides whether you pass cannot be the same firm that helps you prepare — that separation is by design. The smart play is to engage a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO) months before your assessment window, get your documentation, technology, and people audit-ready, then bring in the assessor.
Cost is roughly a quarter
RPO hours run a fraction of C3PAO assessor day rates. Spending hours on prep means fewer hours on findings — and findings drive cost.
Preparedness is priceless
Assessment day is the wrong time to discover a missing SSP section, an out-of-scope SIEM, or a CUI flow you didn’t realize crossed a boundary. We find those before they cost you the score.
Remediation cycles compound
Every issue caught after assessment kicks off remediation plus a re-test — assessor time, paperwork, calendar drag. Issues found in prep close in days, not weeks.
Independence is the rule
An RPO that helped you implement controls cannot also assess you. Engaging us early actually frees you to pick the right assessor later — no conflict-of-interest worries.
SSP and POA&M, hardened
Your System Security Plan and Plan of Action & Milestones get drafted, reviewed, and stress-tested by people who’ve seen a hundred of them — not assembled live from a template.
Scope defined, not disputed
Scoping disputes on assessment day burn time and trust. We define and validate your assessment boundary before the assessor arrives — CUI flows, enclaves, shared services, the works.
RPO-led prep vs. straight to the assessor
A side-by-side look at how the two paths actually play out.
| Dimension | RPO-led prep (us, first) |
Direct to assessor (no preparation) |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly rate | RPO hourly — a fraction of a C3PAO day rate | Full C3PAO rate every billable hour |
| Goal of the engagement | Find and close gaps | Score and report — gaps become findings |
| When findings get discovered | In prep, fixed before the clock starts | Live during the assessment, on the billable clock |
| SSP & POA&M | Drafted, reviewed, hardened by practitioners | DIY against published guidance |
| Assessment boundary & CUI flow | Defined and validated up front | Disputable at assessment time |
| Independence from your assessor | By rule | N/A — no preparation partner |
| Day-of-assessment posture | You know the questions and the answers | You learn the questions live |
| If you fail a control | Targeted re-prep on the specific control | Re-engagement, often a full re-test |

Our Pitch To You.
No extra charges. No hidden fees. Simple Fees. Let us do the cyber lift, and you keep doing what you're best at. We know the PIEE, the SPRS, the process, the policies, and the pitfalls.
Level 1 Guidance
You access FCI (SOW, private gov't comms), but no CUI. You need to get some guidance on how to proceed with the Level 1 self assessment and the yearly assertions. We can help with that. This is typically a 45 day engagement.
Level 2 Guidance
You're handling CUI, that's a more complicated game and it's new to you. We know that space well, we operate in SCIFs, we know classified, and we know how to secure your systems to keep CUI safe. This is typically a 90 day engagement.
Level 2 CCP Involvement
You have contracted with a bona fide Cyber AB Assessor and you need some CCP talent to help with the assessment. So long as we have not done any IT work for you, we can help you. This is typically a 180 day engagement.
Prices exclude applicable taxes. All listed prices are for a three-unit enclave. Terms are annual; we don't lock you into multi-year commitments. Enterprise pricing is available, and includes a complimentary scoping session.

Asked questions
- Are you certified with the CyberAB?
Yes, our organization is registered as a practitioner (RPO) and we have staff who are certified as CCP.
- Can you do small consultations?
Yes, we offer a free 30 minute call that you can leverage to get some free advice.
- Can you help with endpoint solutions like anti virus?
Definitely! We can recommend a solution that fits your techology stack.
- Do you sell hardware?
We are not a reseller of hardware.
- Do you have project pricing, or are you just hourly?
Project pricing is available, but only if you have strict requirements and we only work on those requirements. Changes to the requirements will result in changes to the cost.
- What is your refund policy?
Once we deliver a report there is no refund available, this include giving oral reports or digital reports. We will refund when you sign up for a service but never use it.
