TESTIMONIAL

Supporting defense contractors with CMMC readiness

NEXT STEPS

Three possible paths, one clear direction

You’ll leave this session with a single, clear recommendation for CMMC certification – matched to exactly where your organization stands. No wasted budget on the wrong starting point.

CMMC On-Ramp

For those who’ve not yet started building toward certification. This is the starting point when foundational elements are missing or underdeveloped.

Defensibility Review

For those with documents and controls already in place. This helps you know if your program will withstand formal C3PAO scrutiny.

Gap/Mock Assessment

For those approaching assessment readiness. This simulates the end-to-end CMMC process, giving you more confidence and less chance of failure.

Frequently asked questions

How much does CMMC certification cost?

Costs vary depending on your starting point, environment size, and whether you need to build a program or validate an existing one. For the initial advisory engagement, investment ranges from $10k for an On-Ramp up to $50k for a full Mock Assessment. Program build-out activities and the C3PAO assessment are scoped separately. The readiness workshop gives you a realistic picture before you commit to anything.

How long does certification take?

Timeline depends on your current readiness posture. Organizations starting from scratch typically require 9–18 months to reach certification readiness. Those with established programs can move much faster. The workshop gives you a realistic timeline – not a generic estimate – as well as the most efficient direction to take.

What if we have already started our CMMC program?

That is exactly who the Defensibility Review is designed for. Many organizations have done significant internal work but are not certain it will withstand C3PAO scrutiny. The workshop determines whether you should continue on your current path, close specific gaps, or reorient the program before investing further.

Do we need to switch MSPs?

Not necessarily, but it is a question the workshop helps answer. Many manufacturers work with MSPs who are not fully aligned to CMMC requirements. The session clarifies whether your current MSP relationship supports your certification path or creates gaps you will need to address.

Is the workshop really free?

Yes. There is no cost and no commitment. It is a structured, expert-led conversation, not a sales presentation. It is time-boxed and outcome-focused – designed to give you clear answers.

Will it help us get CMMC certified?

Yes, this workshop shows you the exact next steps you’ll need to follow – the most efficient, most effective path to certification. It’ll make sure you don’t waste time or budget on the wrong steps. The workshop won’t deliver direct certification.

Where are CMMC requirements in the rollout timeline?

CMMC requirements are being phased into DoD contracts on a rolling basis, with Level 2 enforcement accelerating. If you hold or are pursuing DoD contracts involving Controlled Unclassified Information, the time to establish your readiness posture is now, not when a contract clause surfaces.
