CMMC 2.0

No CMMC certification, no DoD contracts. Agency's U.S.-based forward-deployed engineers + AI run your CMMC 2.0 program end-to-end — all 110 NIST 800-171 controls, SSP, POA&M, and C3PAO readiness — without adding headcount.

Overview

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 is the U.S. Department of Defense's cybersecurity framework for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI) across the defense industrial base (DIB). CMMC 2.0 streamlines the original model into three levels aligned with NIST SP 800-171 and NIST SP 800-172.

For most defense contractors, CMMC Level 2 (aligned with NIST 800-171's 110 controls) is the requirement — and it must be validated by a Certified Third Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).

Without CMMC certification, organizations cannot bid on or perform DoD contracts requiring CUI handling.

For lean defense contractors, the gap isn't tooling — it's people. Agency's U.S.-based forward-deployed engineers operate your CMMC program end-to-end so you don't have to hire a security team to win the contract.

Who Needs CMMC 2.0

Any organization in the defense industrial base that handles CUI or FCI — including prime contractors, subcontractors, and technology vendors — must achieve CMMC certification at the appropriate level.

Aerospace & AviationDefense primes, subcontractors, and aviation technology companies handling CUI in aircraft, satellite, and weapons system programs.
GovernmentGovernment technology contractors and systems integrators providing IT services, cloud infrastructure, or software to DoD.
Critical InfrastructureCompanies providing cybersecurity, networking, or operational technology services to defense-related critical infrastructure.
Technology & SoftwareSaaS and cloud providers serving defense contractors or DoD agencies directly. Any technology in the CUI data flow must meet CMMC requirements.
Hardware DevelopmentManufacturers and engineering firms producing defense components, electronics, or systems that require CUI handling.
EnergyEnergy companies supporting defense installations, military bases, or DoD energy programs.

NIST 800-171 Control Implementation — Agency's U.S.-based forward-deployed engineers, supercharged by proprietary AI, implement and enforce all 110 NIST 800-171 controls across your CUI environment. Every control is validated continuously, with evidence maintained in real time.

CUI Boundary Management — Agency identifies and documents your CUI data flows, scopes the CMMC boundary, and ensures every system, application, and endpoint within that boundary meets the required control baseline.

SSP and POA&M Management — Agency generates and maintains System Security Plans and Plans of Action and Milestones formatted to CMMC assessment expectations. Documentation stays current as controls are implemented and remediated.

Supply Chain Compliance — Agency monitors subcontractor compliance posture and documents flow-down requirements, helping primes ensure their supply chain meets CMMC obligations.

C3PAO Assessment Readiness — Agency prepares your organization for C3PAO assessment with validated controls, complete evidence packages, and real-time assessment tracking through Agency AI. Auditsuisse AI validates every artifact before assessor review.

Cross-Framework Mapping — Agency AI maps NIST 800-171 controls to FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and DFARS requirements. Work done for CMMC carries forward to every overlapping certification.
