Where CUI lives, we sit.

Prime Contractors

You set the flow-down standard. Mistakes are visible.

Primes are now answerable to contracting officers for the CMMC posture of their subcontractor base. The CUI boundary you defend is no longer just your own. We help primes build supplier intake programs that surface SPRS scores, draft compliant teaming agreement language, and rehearse the C3PAO posture across the supply chain.

Subcontractors

The 7021 clause just landed in your inbox.

Most subcontractors discover CMMC the day a prime sends them a flow-down notice. The 14 families do not get easier because you are smaller; in practice, they get harder because the assumed infrastructure is not present. We collapse the program down to the minimum viable enclave for sub-scale teams, often using a dedicated GCC-High tenant or a hardened workstation pattern.

Defense Manufacturers

Your shop floor is in scope. Most are.

Manufacturers are the highest-risk industry profile under CMMC because operational technology, contract drawings, and CAD files routinely qualify as CUI. We design enclaves that protect engineering data without halting production. CNC programming, ERP integration, and vendor portals all get scoped carefully.

SaaS Providers in the DoD Supply Chain

You are an External Service Provider. The rules are different.

SaaS firms whose products store, process, or transmit CUI for DoD customers are External Service Providers under the rules. Your customers will require evidence of your security posture, often demanding FedRAMP Moderate equivalency or higher. We position SaaS providers for both the CMMC ESP role and the underlying FedRAMP path where required.

Universities with CUI

Federally funded research is on the line.

Universities are an under-served corner of the CMMC ecosystem and the most painful, because the campus network model fights cleanly with the CUI enclave model. We work with research VPs and CIOs to design segregated research enclaves that protect federally funded research without rewriting institutional networks.
