Our FREE CUI / CMMC Readiness Snapshot is an introductory review designed to help your company understand where it stands with applicable DoD cybersecurity requirements. We'll discuss your current security practices, how your company handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), and potential gaps relating to NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC. You'll leave with a clearer understanding of your potential exposure and what steps to prioritize next.

That depends on the defense contracts you hold or plan to pursue, the information your company handles, and the cybersecurity requirements included in your contracts. Many engineering firms, manufacturers, and defense subcontractors must meet specific security requirements when working with Federal Contract Information (FCI) or CUI. Our free review helps you understand which requirements may apply to your business.

If your company fails to meet cybersecurity requirements specified in its defense contracts, it could face contractual consequences, additional scrutiny, or restrictions on certain contracting opportunities. The exact consequences depend on your contract obligations and the nature of the gaps. Our goal is to help you identify potential issues early so you can take action before they become larger problems.

We focus on U.S. defense contractors, engineering firms, aerospace companies, precision manufacturers, electronics manufacturers, and subcontractors working with the Department of Defense or major defense prime contractors. Whether you're already handling CUI or preparing to pursue defense contracts, our readiness review can help you better understand your cybersecurity obligations.

That's completely fine. Many companies have already implemented some security controls but are unsure whether they've addressed everything required. Our review can help identify areas worth examining more closely, clarify your next steps, and highlight where further assessment or remediation may be useful.

The initial consultation typically takes around 20 minutes. We'll discuss your company, the type of defense work you perform, your current cybersecurity practices, and any concerns surrounding CUI or CMMC requirements. The objective is to identify potential areas of concern and recommend practical next steps without taking up hours of your team's time.

Not at all. You don't need to be a cybersecurity expert to participate. We explain the requirements in straightforward business terms so company owners, executives, engineering managers, and compliance teams can understand what may be required and why it matters.

Yes. The introductory readiness consultation is completely free, with no obligation to purchase additional services. If we identify areas that warrant a more detailed technical assessment or remediation project, we can explain the available next steps. Any additional paid services would be discussed separately.

No. The free readiness review is not an official CMMC assessment and does not provide certification. Its purpose is to help you better understand your potential compliance gaps and prepare for the appropriate next steps. Where a formal third-party CMMC assessment is required, it must be conducted by an authorized CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).

Meeting applicable cybersecurity requirements can help your company qualify for defense contracting opportunities that require those controls. However, compliance alone does not guarantee contract awards. Our focus is on helping you understand and address the cybersecurity obligations that could otherwise create barriers to pursuing or maintaining eligible defense work.

Not necessarily. Many companies can address compliance gaps by improving existing security configurations, access controls, documentation, monitoring, and internal processes. In some cases, additional technology or changes to how CUI is stored and shared may be necessary. The appropriate solution depends on your current environment and contractual requirements.

We understand that defense contractors may work with sensitive technical information. The introductory review should not require you to share actual CUI, controlled drawings, or sensitive defense project files. We can discuss your systems and compliance concerns at a general level and establish appropriate confidentiality and secure information-handling arrangements before any deeper technical engagement.
