Our Solutions CMMC Compliance
Your IT provider is not your CMMC partner. Most are not equipped to be. CMMC Level 2 is 110 controls, a third-party assessment, and a compliance posture that has to be maintained every single day after you earn it. That requires a provider who does security, not just IT. Consist.Tech consults on your roadmap, builds the technology environment that meets the standard, and then operates as your certified compliant MSP on an ongoing basis. We also stay your support partner through all of it — the same team that built your environment answers your calls, knows your infrastructure, and keeps your posture clean. We do not hand you a report and disappear. The relationship does not end at certification. That is where it gets serious.

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a unified cybersecurity standard developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to protect sensitive information shared with defense contractors and subcontractors. Implemented to safeguard Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), CMMC represents a significant shift in how the defense industrial base approaches cybersecurity.
What Being CMMC Compliant Means
Achieving CMMC compliance means your organization has:
Implemented Required Security Controls You’ve established specific cybersecurity practices and processes appropriate to your certification level, including access control, incident response, risk management, and system monitoring.
Documented Your Processes Compliance requires comprehensive documentation demonstrating how your organization implements and maintains security controls, including policies, procedures, and evidence of practice.
Undergone Assessment Depending on your level, you’ve completed either a self-assessment or passed a third-party audit conducted by a CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).
Committed to Continuous Compliance CMMC isn’t a one-time achievement—it requires ongoing maintenance, regular reassessments, and continuous improvement of your cybersecurity posture.
The Three CMMC Levels
Level 1: Foundational
- Focuses on protecting Federal Contract Information (FCI)
- Requires implementation of 17 basic cybersecurity practices
- Primarily involves annual self-assessments
- Appropriate for contractors handling only FCI
Level 2: Advanced
- Designed to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
- Requires 110 security practices aligned with NIST SP 800-171
- Mandates third-party assessment for certain contracts
- The most common level required for defense contractors
Level 3: Expert
- Addresses advanced persistent threats (APTs)
- Builds upon Level 2 with additional advanced practices
- Required for contractors handling the most sensitive CUI
- Always requires government-led assessments

Your CMMC assessment date is not moving. The 110 controls are not optional. And the difference between passing and losing your contract is the difference between a partner who has done this and one who is learning alongside you. Consist.Tech has built the roadmap. We know where the gaps are and we know how to close them — efficiently, without overbuilding, and without blowing your budget on technology you do not need. Every solution we deliver is right-sized to your organization, your timeline, and what your contract actually requires.
