CMMC certification, without the detours

Clarity on your required CMMC level, a gap analysis against the 110 requirements of NIST SP 800-171 and support all the way to the assessment, so your US defense contracts stay secure.

The Challenge

Why CMMC becomes a hurdle for European suppliers

A US framework with its own terminology, its own evidence formats and fixed contract deadlines. Existing ISO or BSI certifications cover part of the requirements but do not replace the assessment.

Target level
Clear determination based on your actual contract requirements
Unclear which CMMC level even applies to your contracts
NIST SP 800-171 alignment
Existing measures are credited, only real gaps get addressed
Existing ISO or BSI certifications go unused, duplicate work results
Audit-ready documentation
Complete, C3PAO-ready evidence documentation
SSP and POA&M are missing or don't match the expected format
Realistic timeline
Prioritized roadmap aligned to your contract dates
Preparation starts too late for upcoming contract deadlines
Overview

The structured path to CMMC certification

CMMC decides whether you can bid for US Department of Defense work at all. We establish which level applies to your contracts, which of the 110 requirements you already meet and what remains to be done before the assessment.

The right level, not the highest

Level 1 covers Federal Contract Information and is self-assessed annually. Level 2 applies to Controlled Unclassified Information and is usually assessed by a C3PAO. We determine from your contract clauses what actually applies to you.

Gap analysis at the assessment objective level

We review not only the 110 requirements of NIST SP 800-171, but the underlying assessment objectives from NIST SP 800-171A that an assessor will actually score you against.

SSP and POA&M in the expected format

The System Security Plan describes how each requirement is implemented. The Plan of Action and Milestones tracks open items with owners and due dates. Both documents largely determine the outcome of the assessment.

Assessment preparation

We walk through the evidence with you, run an internal mock assessment and prepare your teams for the interviews with the assessors.

Defensible evidence

From document to artifact

For every requirement it is clear how it is implemented, who owns it and which artifact proves it. That is exactly what the assessment asks for.

Eligibility to bid

Secure and grow contracts

Without the required CMMC level you drop out of consideration on new solicitations. With certification you protect existing contracts and qualify for more.

After certification

What remains after certification

Passing the assessment is not the end of CMMC. Certification is valid for three years, and in between you must affirm annually that the requirements are still met. We show you what that means in day-to-day operations.
