Navigating CMMC Compliance

Defense contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must achieve and maintain Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) to continue working with the Department of Defense. Midwest Cyber provides end-to-end support for organizations navigating this critical requirement.

Our team understands the unique challenges defense contractors face, from small subcontractors to large prime contractors. Whether you need to achieve CMMC Level 1 (Foundational) or Level 2 (Advanced), we provide the roadmap, tools, and expertise to get you there.

Our Defense Contractor Services

CMMC Readiness Assessment

Using FrameworkMapper, our proprietary GRC platform, we assess your current security posture against CMMC requirements. You receive a detailed gap analysis showing exactly where you stand and what needs to change before your formal assessment.

NIST 800-171 Implementation

CMMC Level 2 is based on the 110 controls in NIST SP 800-171. We help you implement each control with documentation, technical configurations, and policy development that satisfy both the spirit and letter of the requirement.

System Security Plan (SSP) Development

A comprehensive SSP is the foundation of your CMMC certification. We develop thorough, audit-ready SSPs that clearly document your security environment, control implementations, and responsible parties.

Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M)

For any gaps identified during assessment, we create actionable POA&Ms with realistic timelines, resource requirements, and milestone tracking to ensure steady progress toward full compliance.

Ongoing Compliance Monitoring

CMMC is not a one-time event. We provide continuous monitoring services to ensure your security controls remain effective and your documentation stays current between assessments.
