CMMC cybersecurity for Huntsville defense contractors.
The Rocket City's supply chain runs on CUI — and most of the shops handling it can't afford a prime-priced compliance consultancy. We deliver the 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls, an SSP and POA&M your C3PAO will accept, and the day-to-day operation behind them, at a price a North Alabama job shop can run.

Why a Huntsville Contractor Needs This Now
Dense defense base. Thin security coverage. A hard 2028 deadline.
The three forces that make North Alabama subcontractors both exposed and underserved.
Huntsville runs on the defense supply chain
Redstone Arsenal, the Cummings Research Park, and a dense base of aerospace and defense subcontractors mean Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) flows through hundreds of small North Alabama shops. Each one carries its own CMMC and DFARS flow-down obligation — the prime can verify it, but cannot do it for you.
The CMMC specialists here are priced for primes
Established CMMC consultancies typically quote $5,000–$15,000/month — fine for a prime, fatal for a 20-person job shop. We deliver the managed controls and documentation at a Level 1 / lower-end Level 2 price point that an SMB subcontractor can actually run.
No certification, no purchase order
By 2028 every DoD contract handling FCI or CUI requires CMMC at the appropriate level, and the clause is already appearing in new awards. Primes are dropping subcontractors who can't show progress. False self-attestation also carries real False Claims Act exposure — the annual affirmation is a legal attestation, not a checkbox.
How We Get You Certifiable
From a near-zero start to a clean C3PAO package
The same path we run for the full CMMC program — scoped to your shop.
Free CMMC-readiness check
We scope your CUI environment, classify your contracts, and score you against the 110 NIST 800-171 controls — then hand you a one-page roadmap with a realistic timeline and cost.
Foundation controls
MFA on every account, EDR on every endpoint, named accounts, encrypted backups, baseline configuration docs, and awareness training for every CUI-cleared user.
SSP & POA&M build-out
A documented System Security Plan across all 14 control families, a Plan of Action & Milestones for residual gaps, an incident response plan, and GCC High migration only if your CUI actually requires it.
C3PAO readiness & ongoing operation
A mock assessment against the C3PAO checklist, audit-ready evidence, and continuous operation through the 3-year recertification cycle. We're not a C3PAO — we get you certifiable and keep you there.
