CMMC Level 2 Compliance Consulting for DoD Suppliers
CMMC 2.0 Level 2 program build and ongoing CUI enclave support for B2B SaaS and consulting firms in the Defense Industrial Base.
Comprehensive CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 Consulting & End-to-End CUI Program Build
CMMC 2.0 is the US Department of Defense program that verifies cybersecurity implementation across the Defense Industrial Base. The final rule (32 CFR Part 170) took effect December 2024 and is being integrated into contractual flowdown through DFARS 48 CFR Part 204. Three levels apply: Level 1 (17 controls, self-assessment) for Federal Contract Information; Level 2 (110 NIST SP 800-171 controls, C3PAO assessment for most contracts) for Controlled Unclassified Information; Level 3 (Level 2 plus a subset of NIST SP 800-172, DIBCAC assessment) for the most sensitive workloads. The DoD has signaled a transition from NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 to Rev. 3 once contractual updates land; contractors building today should design to r3 while affirming to r2.
Security Consultants prepares DIB contractors for CMMC assessment. We are not a C3PAO. We scope FCI and CUI flows, design and build the CUI enclave on a FedRAMP-authorized Government cloud variant, author the SSP against NIST SP 800-171 controls, deploy FIPS 140-validated cryptography with CMVP references, enforce phishing-resistant MFA on privileged access, build the 72-hour DFARS 252.204-7012 reporting workflow, and manage the POA&M with the 180-day closure discipline CMMC requires. Once certified, our vCISO subscription operates the annual SPRS affirmation cycle, continuous CUI enclave monitoring, training, and triennial reassessment readiness. The same evidence base supports parallel ISO 27001 or SOC 2 programs.

CUI Enclave Architecture
Scope discipline is the most consequential design decision in any CMMC program. We build a dedicated CUI enclave on Azure Government, AWS GovCloud, Google Government, or Oracle Government with a separate identity scope, hardened boundary controls, and isolated workloads. Out-of-scope assets stay out-of-scope.

NIST SP 800-171 r3 Forward-Compatible Design
CMMC 2.0 cites r2 today, but the DoD has signaled r3 transition once contracts catch up. We design control implementation against the r3 family structure with organization-defined parameters while affirming compliance to r2. Avoid the expensive re-architecture when the clause changes.
Readiness Consulting, Not C3PAO Assessment
We prepare you for the C3PAO. We are not the assessor and never will be. That separation lets us build a defensible program, advocate through the assessment, and avoid the conflict that comes from selling readiness and assessment under one roof.
SPRS Affirmation Under False Claims Act Discipline
Annual Senior Official affirmation in SPRS carries criminal and civil liability under the False Claims Act for knowingly false attestations. We build the program so the affirmation rests on documented evidence, an SSP that describes operational controls rather than policy intent, and a POA&M limited to CMMC-eligible items.
A proven, methodical
approach
Project Kick-Off & Setup
We start with a project kick-off where the manager sets up your engagement in our project management platform. We confirm your target CMMC level (Level 1, 2, or 3), identify the contract clauses driving the requirement, name a Senior Official for SPRS affirmation, and agree the communication plan.
FCI / CUI Scoping & Asset Categorization
We map every flow of Federal Contract Information and Controlled Unclassified Information across your contracts. Each asset is categorized as CUI Asset, Security Protection Asset, Contractor Risk Managed Asset, or Out of Scope. The CUI boundary is documented in network and data-flow diagrams.
Gap Analysis Against NIST SP 800-171
We assess implementation control-by-control against NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 with an r3 forward-design overlay across the 14 control families. The SPRS interim score is calculated, and remediation is prioritized by C3PAO assessment risk and CMMC POA&M eligibility.
CUI Enclave Build & SSP Authoring
We architect the CUI enclave on a FedRAMP-authorized Government cloud variant, build the FIPS 140-validated cryptography stack with CMVP certificate references, deploy phishing-resistant MFA, configure conditional access for managed devices, and author the System Security Plan with operational control descriptions rather than policy restatements.
DoD Reporting Workflow & C3PAO Assessment Coordination
We build the DFARS 252.204-7012 72-hour cyber incident reporting workflow with DIBNet portal access (medium-assurance certificate), tabletop the IR plan, and coordinate the C3PAO assessment from artifact handoff through finding response. POA&M items are tracked to the 180-day CMMC closure window.
Post-Certification Operations, vCISO & Ongoing Assurance
After certification, our vCISO subscription operates annual Senior Official SPRS affirmation, continuous CUI enclave monitoring, monthly vulnerability scanning with POA&M maintenance, role-based training, IR tabletop, and triennial C3PAO reassessment readiness. The evidence base is shared with parallel ISO 27001 or SOC 2 programs.
