Defense Contractor Success Stories
Defense Contractor Achieves CMMC Level 2 Certification
Construction / Defense
Challenge
275-employee construction firm needed CMMC Level 2 certification to bid on $4.5M DoD contract. Faced gaps in 73 of 110 NIST 800-171 controls, lacked CUI enclave, had no incident response plan, and operated across multiple job sites with inconsistent security.
Solution
Implemented comprehensive CMMC program including network segmentation for CUI, MFA across all systems, SIEM deployment, documented SSP and POAM, incident response procedures, employee security training, and prepared for C3PAO assessment.
Multi-Site Contractor Secures CUI Across 20 Locations
Construction / Defense
Challenge
Regional contractor with 20 active job sites handling CUI across distributed workforce, needed consistent security controls, remote access for field teams, and cost-effective compliance solution without dedicated CISO.
Solution
Deployed cloud-based CUI enclave with zero-trust architecture, implemented MDM for field devices, established centralized logging and monitoring, created job site security procedures, and provided vCISO services for ongoing compliance management.
