The Problem This Solves

  • Contractors often enter CMMC conversations with incomplete scope, unclear ownership, and pressure to buy tools or make

  • platform changes before the boundary is understood. This service creates a practical decision point: what is likely in scope,

  • what is known, what is unknown, who owns what, and what should happen next.

Questions Answered

  • Are we likely Level 1, Level 2, or still unclear?

  • What data types and contract pressures are driving the CMMC question?

  • Where might the CUI boundary begin and end?

  • What decisions should not be made yet?

  • Should we proceed to a full Level 2 Readiness Assessment, Level 1 Readiness Check, or MSP review?
