CMMC / NIST-800-171
100% of our clients have successfully passed cybersecurity certifications since 2015.
We lighten the load for your team by taking on 95% of the implementation work. We ensure that your new systems are practical, maintainable, and fully aligned with your operational needs.
Build systems your team understands and can maintain.
95% of our clients continue working with us after their initial certification.
CMMC is a DoD framework ensuring contractors protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). It uses tiered cybersecurity requirements and assessments. Built on NIST SP 800-171, it strengthens security across the Defense Industrial Base
NIST SP800-171 is a codification of the requirements that any non-Federal computer system must follow to store, process, or transmit CUI or provide security protection for such systems.

Our clients are businesses that:
- Don’t have a dedicated cybersecurity team;
- Owners and key staff try to navigate the complex standard themselves but lack the time.
We build systems tailored to your real business, not abstract requirements. We explain complex standards in simple language and prepare you to pass both initial and follow-up audits smoothly.
We usually step in when:
- There are many procedures, but they don’t actually work;
- A new, more demanding auditor identifies issues that were previously overlooked;
- Audit preparation consumes too much time and resources.
We simplify systems without compromising compliance, remove unnecessary documentation, and make processes logical, consistent, and clear for your entire team.
CMMC is closely aligned with ISO 27001 and built on similar principles. However, instead of a framework, it contains 110 specific security practices grouped into 14 control families.
Compliance requires tracking all IT assets, protecting systems and communications, managing access, training staff, responding to incidents, and providing evidence that these processes work in practice.
Many companies focus on writing policies, while auditors evaluate behavior, consistency, and evidence.
We design systems that meet the expectations of any auditor: cybersecurity controls are implemented, tested, monitored, and consistently followed in our clients’ daily operations.
Founder and Managing Partner of FY Consulting
- Analyze where Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is stored, transmitted, and processed.
- Identify all IT assets: servers, laptops, cloud services, email, VPNs, and backups.
- Check which of the CMMC controls are already in place and which are missing.
- Conduct a Gap Analysis focused on high-risk controls that most often cause certification failures.
- Develop all necessary documents and processes, including the System Security Plan — the first document auditors review, and the Plan of Action & Milestones with clear deadlines and responsible owners.
- Perform Vulnerability Assessments and Incident Response testing.
- Conduct training for onboarding and offboarding, covering cybersecurity, access management, incident response, configuration management, and risk management.
Your team will fully understand the processes and know exactly what to do — every day, not just for the audit.
We know that important contracts depend on certification, so we move as quickly as your business needs. We stay closely connected with your team, respond promptly to questions, and select the right auditor to ensure a smooth, successful certification.
We structure the entire project with clear stages in Microsoft Teams
There, you can track tasks, review documents, and see progress in real time.
While you review and approve materials, we keep moving forward so the process doesn’t stall and approvals don’t affect the timeline.
We’ll include a screenshot example from Teams.

While you review and approve materials, we keep moving forward so the process doesn’t stall and approvals don’t affect the timeline.
We take full responsibility for the outcome, handling 95% of the work: setting up systems, coordinating with IT providers, conducting vulnerability assessments, testing incident response, and preparing the required evidence.
Minimize your team’s involvement, understanding that business owners and key employees cannot pause day-to-day operations for certification.
Become fully integrated with your team, ensuring the certification is implemented on time and efficiently.
Instead of adding more documents, we eliminate unnecessary ones. In many cases, dozens of documents can be reduced to a manageable, streamlined set without losing compliance. This makes the system easier to maintain, more understandable for employees, and significantly less risky during audits.
We’ll help you build a quality management system that delivers stability, efficiency, and a competitive advantage.
