Understand

Begin by learning what CMMC compliance entails from a business and technical perspective. Discuss and document the major areas of your business that interact with CUI and/or FCI, including down-stream suppliers and external service providers.

Discover

We guide you in a workshop to “follow the bouncing ball” of CUI and FCI in your organization through technical systems that are on-premises, in the cloud, at third-parties, or in SAAS tools. This is the beginning of defining your in-scope environment for CMMC.

Plan

Group workshop focusing on “showstopper” controls, the importance of evidence collection, and boundary definition.
