CMMC Compliance Preparation
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification is now a contractual requirement for defense contractors and suppliers handling Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information. Organizations that cannot demonstrate the required CMMC level will be ineligible to bid on covered DoD contracts. The path to certification requires a structured gap assessment, a documented System Security Plan, a Plan of Action and Milestones for open findings, and — for CMMC Level 2 — a third-party assessment by a C3PAO.
About This Service
Elevaire leads CMMC preparation engagements for defense industrial base organizations working toward Level 1 self-attestation or Level 2 third-party certification. We determine the correct CMMC level for your contracts, scope your CUI environment, assess your current practices against NIST SP 800-171, build the System Security Plan and Plan of Action and Milestones, implement required controls, calculate and document your SPRS score, and prepare your organization for C3PAO assessment where required.
