Comprehensive CMMC Compliance for DoD Contractors
We safeguard your DoD contracts with IaC-based CMMC Level 2 implementation — from gap analysis through C3PAO assessment preparation. Technical controls are built as infrastructure as code and enforced with Azure Policy, so your environment stays immutable and compliant between audits, not just documented in a spreadsheet.

CMMC, Cybersecurity & Workforce Services for DoD Contractors
From gap analysis through C3PAO assessment preparation, we build the technical controls into your environment and deliver them as infrastructure as code where your systems allow it. Immutable infrastructure keeps your compliance a durable property of your environment — not something you scramble to restore before each audit. And under DoD 8140, we help make sure the people operating it are qualified for their roles.

Architecture-Led CMMC Compliance That Lasts
Most CMMC consultants document controls. We implement them. We build technical controls as infrastructure as code and enforce them with Azure Policy, so your environment is immutable: changes go through reviewed code, drift is caught and corrected, and compliance stays continuous instead of being re-proven before every audit.
Immutable Infrastructure, Continuous Compliance
Controls enforced in code, not documented on paper. Systems are rebuilt from a reviewed baseline, not patched by hand, and Azure Policy holds them there — so compliance is continuous, not something you restore before each audit.
C3PAO Assessment Ready
We prepare you for your formal C3PAO assessment with evidence packages, SSP review, POA&M prioritization, and pre-assessment walkthroughs. Our clients go into assessments prepared, not surprised.

CMMC & DoD 8140 Questions
What is CMMC 2.0?
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification), often called CMMC 2.0, is the Department of War's program for verifying that defense contractors protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). It has three levels: Level 1 covers the 15 basic safeguarding requirements of FAR 52.204-21, Level 2 covers the 110 requirements of NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2, and Level 3 adds 24 requirements from NIST SP 800-172. Depending on the contract, Level 2 is met by self-assessment or by a C3PAO assessment. As of 9 October 2026, Phase 2 is suspended, so new solicitations can require only Level 1 (Self) or Level 2 (Self).
Do I need CMMC if I have a DoD contract?
It depends on the information your contract involves and the clauses it contains. Contracts that involve only FCI point to Level 1; contracts that involve CUI point to Level 2. As of 9 October 2026, CMMC Phase 2 is suspended and new solicitations can require only Level 1 (Self) or Level 2 (Self) assessments. NIST SP 800-171 under DFARS 252.204-7012, SPRS reporting and annual affirmations still apply. Your contract and your prime determine what applies to you.
What is an SPRS score?
The SPRS (Supplier Performance Risk System) score records the result of your NIST SP 800-171 self-assessment, calculated with the DoD Assessment Methodology. Scores range from -203 to 110, and 110 means every requirement is implemented. Contracting officers and primes can see your score, so it should match what your environment can demonstrate with evidence.
What is a CUI enclave?
A CUI enclave is an isolated environment where Controlled Unclassified Information is processed, stored, and transmitted. Enclave design minimizes the CMMC assessment scope by isolating CUI systems from the rest of your network. Proper enclave architecture can significantly reduce the number of systems in scope for a CMMC assessment, whether it is a self-assessment or performed by a C3PAO.
How long does CMMC Level 2 preparation take?
CMMC Level 2 preparation typically takes 6–18 months depending on your organization's current security posture, size, and the complexity of your CUI environment. Organizations with an existing NIST 800-171 program can sometimes achieve assessment readiness in 6–9 months; organizations starting from scratch may need 12–18 months.
What is DoD 8140?
DoD 8140 is the Department of Defense's cyberspace workforce qualification program, set out in DoD Directive 8140.01 and DoD Manual 8140.03 (effective February 15, 2023). It replaced DoD 8570.01-M and qualifies personnel by DoD Cyber Workforce Framework (DCWF) work role and proficiency level. Through Defense Cyber Workforce Readiness, VIS helps defense contractors map their cyber workforce to DCWF work roles, close qualification gaps, validate practical skills, and maintain readiness evidence.
