    Turnkey DoD/Federal CUI Compliance

    A comprehensive program for defense contractors to meet all NIST 800-171 and CMMC 2.0 Level 2 requirements — simply, cost-effectively, and with confidence.

    Showing requirements for
    Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
    Triennial C3PAO assessment (most contracts)
    The Challenge

    DoD Compliance Is Non-Negotiable — and Non-Trivial

    Defense contractors handling CUI must comply with 110 security controls across 14 families in NIST 800-171. CMMC 2.0 adds third-party assessment requirements with real contract consequences.

    Most small and mid-size contractors lack the internal expertise to interpret requirements, implement controls, and prepare for assessment — all while maintaining operations.

    • 110 controls across 14 control families
    • Third-party C3PAO assessment required for Level 2
    • DFARS 252.204-7012 clause enforcement increasing
    • Contract eligibility directly tied to compliance status
    ACAccess ControlControls how users and systems are granted, limited, and monitored when accessing protected information.
    ATAwareness & TrainingEnsures personnel are trained to recognize and follow security responsibilities.
    AUAudit & AccountabilityRecords and reviews system activity to detect and investigate security events.
    CMConfiguration ManagementManages system configurations and prevents unauthorized changes.
    IAIdentification & AuthenticationVerifies user and system identities before granting access.
    IRIncident ResponseEstablishes procedures to detect, respond to, and recover from incidents.
    MAMaintenanceSecures system maintenance processes and access during maintenance.
    MPMedia ProtectionProtects sensitive information stored on physical or removable media.
    PEPhysical ProtectionSafeguards facilities and infrastructure where systems operate.
    PSPersonnel SecurityEnsures personnel with access are appropriately vetted and managed.
    RARisk AssessmentIdentifies and evaluates cybersecurity risks to systems and environments.
    SASystem & Services AcquisitionControls how systems and services are acquired and integrated securely.
    SCSystem & Communications ProtectionProtects communications and system boundaries from unauthorized access.
    SISystem & Information IntegrityDetects and mitigates system flaws, malware, and integrity violations.
    Architecture Options

    Deployment Architectures for CMMC Compliance

    Organizations can approach CMMC compliance through different architectural strategies depending on their environment, existing infrastructure, and operational requirements.

    01

    Managed Secure Enclave

    Protect CUI inside a dedicated, controlled environment designed to isolate sensitive workloads from the rest of the organization's systems.

    • Reduces the scope of systems subject to CMMC controls
    • Concentrates compliance effort within a defined boundary
    • Ideal for organizations without large internal security teams
    02

    Government Cloud Architecture

    Operate systems within compliant government-grade cloud environments that provide strong security boundaries and infrastructure-level protections.

    • Leverages inherited controls from cloud infrastructure
    • Scales easily for distributed teams and modern workloads
    • Suitable for organizations operating primarily in cloud environments
    03

    Hybrid Compliance Architecture

    Combine controlled enclave environments with existing infrastructure to protect CUI while allowing legacy systems and specialized workflows to continue operating.

    • Maintains compatibility with existing systems
    • Isolates CUI processing environments from the broader network
    • Allows phased migration toward fully compliant environments
    Turnkey Solution

    From Zero to Assessment-Ready

    Our Turnkey DoD CUI Compliance program handles everything — gap analysis, SSP development, POA&M tracking, policy creation, technical remediation guidance, and assessment preparation.

    Designed for smaller defense contractors who need compliance without building an internal GRC team. Most organizations achieve full readiness within 6–12 months.

    • Complete System Security Plan (SSP) development
    • All 110 control implementations documented
    • POA&M management and remediation tracking
    • GCC High / enclave architecture guidance
    • Pre-assessment readiness reviews
