Focused on Microsoft 365, email security, cloud permissions, and endpoint protection for small to mid-size businesses.

CMMC 2.0 Readiness Consulting
If you hold or are pursuing Department of Defense contracts, CMMC requirements may apply to those contracts. The DoD is phasing CMMC requirements into contracts that involve Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information, and each solicitation names the level and the type of assessment it requires.
Phase 2 third-party assessments were suspended in July 2026. What did not change: DFARS 252.204-7012, your Level 1 or Level 2 self-assessment score in SPRS, and the annual affirmation. When a subcontract carries a CMMC requirement, DFARS 252.204-7021 requires the prime to confirm your current CMMC status before award. If your status is not current in SPRS, the prime cannot award you that work. On contracts you already hold, 7019 and 7020 still apply as written.
I guide small businesses through every step of the CMMC readiness process: gap assessment, documentation, and preparation for an official assessment by a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO), if your contract requires one, so you are not disqualified at the proposal stage.
- CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 gap assessment
- System Security Plan (SSP) development
- Plan of Action & Milestones (POAM) creation
- Security policy drafting (access control, incident response, media protection, and more)
- Remediation advisory and implementation guidance
- Pre-assessment readiness review before your C3PAO engagement
