The DoD now requires CMMC certification for all contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information. We help Stark County and Northeast Ohio manufacturers implement the controls, document the evidence, and meet the deadline.
Start with a Gap Assessment →CMMC isn't just a checklist — it's a documented, auditable cybersecurity program. Here's what we implement and help you maintain.
We audit your current security posture against the CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 practice requirements. You get a prioritized gap list and a clear implementation roadmap — before you spend a dollar on remediation.
CMMC requires documented access management — who can access what, with least-privilege enforcement and MFA on all accounts that touch CUI. We configure and document this for your environment.
CMMC requires system audit logs covering user activity, privileged access, and security events. We implement centralized logging and configure alerting on suspicious activity.
CMMC requires a documented incident response plan — not just the controls, but the procedures for detecting, reporting, and recovering from incidents. We draft and test these plans with your team.
Controlling how CUI is stored, transmitted, and disposed of is a core CMMC requirement. We implement encryption, media sanitization procedures, and data handling policies.
CMMC assessments require documented proof that controls are in place and working. We build and maintain the System Security Plan (SSP) and Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) required for assessment.
CMMC work is billed by assessment and project scope.
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is a DoD requirement for all contractors and subcontractors in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) who handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). If your company does work — directly or as a subcontractor — for the Department of Defense, you likely need CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 certification. This includes manufacturers, defense suppliers, and support service companies. Call us to assess your specific situation.
CMMC Level 1 covers 17 basic cybersecurity practices from NIST SP 800-171 — covering access control, authentication, media protection, physical protection, and incident response. These are the foundational controls every DoD contractor must have in place. Level 2 adds 110 practices from NIST 800-171 and requires third-party assessment. We help Ohio manufacturers achieve and document compliance at both levels.
Timeline depends on your current security posture. Businesses starting from scratch on Level 1 typically take 4-8 weeks to implement and document the required controls. Level 2 is more complex and may take 3-6 months including policy development, control implementation, and assessment preparation. We start with a gap assessment so you know exactly where you stand.
DoD contracts now include CMMC requirements, and the requirements are expanding. Don't wait until a contract requires it to start implementing the controls.
