The Challenge
A 45-person defense contractor operating across the United States and allied nations needed CMMC Level 2 certification to retain existing DoD contracts. They had minimal cybersecurity controls in place and no documentation of their security practices.
Our Solution
CloudTechForce conducted a NIST 800-171 gap assessment identifying 73 control gaps, developed a remediation roadmap prioritized by risk and contract timeline, migrated the organization to Microsoft 365 GCC High for CUI handling, implemented all 110 NIST 800-171 security controls, created a comprehensive System Security Plan and all required documentation, and prepared the organization for C3PAO assessment.
Results
CMMC Level 2 certification achieved in 6 months
All 110 NIST 800-171 controls implemented
Successfully retained $4.2M in active DoD contracts
Qualified for $2.8M in new contract opportunities
Ongoing managed security maintains continuous compliance
"Without CloudTechForce, we would have lost our DoD contracts. They took us from essentially zero compliance to CMMC Level 2 certified in six months. The investment paid for itself with the first new contract we won."
