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 SP 800-171 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.

We help
Small businesses without a cybersecurity team

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.

Large companies with complex processes

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.

Prepare for even the strictest auditors

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.

  • Conduct a Gap Analysis focused on high-risk controls that most often cause certification failures.
Implement a system that actually works

  • 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.

What clients say

We’ve worked with FY Consulting for several years, and each engagement we’ve had an enjoyable experience. What we enjoy most about working with FY Consulting is their knowledge of the various appraisals and certifications. They make sure that we are kept informed of new updates or changes that might affect us. I would recommend FY Consulting to other companies and have done so. They are competitively priced and a great partner to work with.

Hannibal S. Jackson

As President and CEO, I am responsible for setting the strategic direction of the
company, ensuring operational excellence, and positioning ELYON for sustainable
growth while delivering consistent value to our customers.

In 2016, we made a strategic decision to formalize our internal systems and processes
to support growth and scalability. ISO certification provided a structured framework that
allowed us to consistently deliver high-quality outcomes while maintaining excellence in
execution across all customer engagements.

When we initially engaged FY Consulting, our expectation was to partner
with a firm that brought deep professional expertise aligned with ISO
standards and could help us build a complete, audit-ready Quality
Management System (QMS).

We evaluated success based on our ability to confidently pass audits, sustain
certification year over year, and—most importantly—operate a QMS that genuinely
supports our business operations rather than existing solely for compliance purposes.

We associated ISO certification with several key business goals:
Consistent and effective delivery of IT and professional services across
all customer contracts
The ability to scale and grow the business in a controlled, repeatable
way that supports revenue growth
Establishing credibility with new and existing customers, particularly in
competitive proposal environments, by demonstrating that our systems
are independently certified for quality management

In 2016, one of our directors was tasked with identifying a qualified firm to support us
with certification. Based on his assessment and recommendation, we met with the
owner of FY Consulting.
Following that discussion, I approved the decision to engage FY Consulting. We did not
evaluate alternative firms, as the initial meeting gave us confidence in their expertise,
approach, and alignment with our business needs.

The certification effort was supported by a cross-functional leadership team, including
the President, Operations Manager, and Human Resources.

The most significant early challenge was communicating the importance of certification
to the management team—specifically, helping them understand the why. Once the
purpose and long-term value of certification were clearly understood, alignment and
engagement across the team increased significantly.

The cost of certification directly supported business growth, proposal
competitiveness, and delivery consistency. ISO 9001 provided both
external credibility and internal operational discipline, making it a
high-value, long-term investment rather than a compliance expense. We
did not find anything missing in the process; the structure and outcomes
aligned well with our expectations and business objectives.

What has been most valuable in working with FY Consulting is the
trusted, long-term partnership we’ve built over nearly ten years. FY
Consulting has consistently provided invaluable guidance—not only in
achieving and maintaining ISO 9001 certification but also supporting us
with NIST 800-171 standards and compliance, security posture, and
overall operational discipline.
They take the time to deeply understand our business, our risk profile, and
our growth objectives, and they translate complex regulatory and
compliance requirements into practical solutions that actually work for our
organization. Their approach is never “one-size-fits-all”—it is thoughtful,
scalable, and aligned with how we operate day to day.
Beyond compliance, FY Consulting has helped us build internal capability
and confidence. Their support with internal audits, risk management, and
continuous improvement has enabled us to sustain certifications year after
year, reduce risk, and pursue government and enterprise opportunities
with confidence. We view FY Consulting not as a vendor, but as a true
strategic partner who has played a meaningful role in ELYON’s
operational maturity and long-term success.

    What Is CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification)

    It is a cybersecurity maturity model. It is specifically designed to protect the information of every USA defense contract.

    The model combines practices and processes from various standards, including NIST SP 800‑171. Therefore, it requires organizations to confirm the implementation of controls through independent audits.

    Key elements:

    • Maturity levels from basic to advanced.
    • Controls, technical and organizational measures.
    • Audit, independent verification of implementation.
    • Documentation, policies, procedures, response plans.

    And this is only part of the reasons why you might need help from CMMC consultants.
