CMMC Compliance Services
CMMC Compliance Is Essential for DoD Contractors
If you’re a contractor working with the Department of Defense (DoD), achieving CMMC compliance is essential. It’s not just about following rules; it’s about keeping sensitive information safe and maintaining your contracts. At TCC, we’re here to make the compliance process easy and manageable for you with our CMMC compliance services.
Common CMMC Compliance Challenges
Many businesses run into issues when trying to meet CMMC standards. Here are some common problems you might face:
- Understanding Requirements: The CMMC has different levels, and figuring out what your business needs can be confusing.
- Identifying Gaps: Knowing what you currently have in place versus what’s required can be tricky.
- Limited Resources: If you’re a smaller business, you might not have enough staff or the right expertise to implement necessary security measures.
- Getting Ready for Audits: The thought of a CMMC audit can be stressful, especially if you're unsure about what to expect.
How TCC Can Help You Achieve CMMC Compliance
CMMC Gap Assessment
We start by checking your current security practices. This helps us see where you stand and what needs to be improved for compliance.
Customized Compliance Plans
After the assessment, we’ll create a clear CMMC compliance checklist. This list outlines the steps you need to take to become compliant, making it easier to follow along.
Implementation Support
Our team will work with you to put the necessary security measures in place, ranging from setting up access controls to making sure your data is secure.
Ongoing Compliance Management
With our CMMC managed compliance services, we’ll help you maintain compliance over time. We keep an eye on any changes to CMMC requirements and make sure your practices stay up to date.
Audit Preparation
When it’s time for your audit, we’ll help you get ready. We’ll help with gathering the necessary documents and walk you through what to expect, so you can approach the audit with confidence.
Dig Deeper with Our Experts
Achieving CMMC compliance isn’t just about following a checklist—it’s about embedding robust cybersecurity practices into your organization’s DNA so you can protect sensitive defense data and stay contract-ready.
Our cyber specialists guide DoD contractors through the full compliance journey. Here’s what they emphasize:
- Scope with precision: Over-scoping inflates work and cost; under-scoping creates serious security gaps. We map your CUI flows in detail to ensure accurate coverage.
- Document consistently, not just during audits: Waiting until audit time to collect proof is risky. Our experts build evidence workflows—like system security plans and logs—that are updated and maintenanced continuously.
- Automate for oversight: CMMC isn’t a one-and-done project. Continuous monitoring—through tools like SIEM, vulnerability scanners, and automated log tracking—ensures ongoing compliance.
- Tailor controls to your operations: Implementing access controls, incident response, and configuration management must align with everyday workflows. Our team ensures security supports operations, not hinders them.
With practical strategies, continuous vigilance, and operational alignment, The Computer Company equips you not just to pass audits—but to integrate CMMC as a strategic advantage.
CMMC 2.0 Levels Explained
Level 1 – Foundational Cyber Hygiene
- Purpose & Applicability: Designed for organizations that handle only Federal Contract Information (FCI)—data like contract specs, performance reports, or process documentation that isn’t intended for public disclosure.
- Security Requirements: Involves implementing 17 basic practices drawn from FAR clause 52.204-21. These represent fundamental cyber hygiene measures, such as limited access, antivirus usage, and password policies.
- Assessment: Organizations can self-assess annually and attest their compliance—no third-party or government audit required.
Level 2 – Advanced Cyber Hygiene
- Purpose & Applicability: Intended for entities that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), which requires stronger protection than FCI.
- Security Requirements: Encompasses all 110 practices from NIST SP 800-171—spanning 14 control domains such as access control, incident response, and risk assessment.
Assessment Options:
- Self-assessment annually for contracts with non-prioritized CUI.
- Third-party audit (by an authorized C3PAO) every three years for prioritized or sensitive CUI contracts.
Level 3 – Expert Cybersecurity
- Purpose & Applicability: Reserved for organizations handling CUI critical to national security, such as prime contractors on top-tier DoD programs.
Security Requirements:
- All 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices from Level 2.
- Additional controls drawn from NIST SP 800-172, aimed at defending against Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs).
- Assessment: Requires a government-led audit, typically conducted by DIBCAC or the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), every three years.
