You’re in Govcon, not a CMMC Expert

At CISPOINT, we know that you want to be a trusted operations leader who keeps your contracts secure and your company fully compliant.

In order to do that, you need a CMMC-focused IT partner who can guide you step-by-step and get you audit-ready without the tech jargon.

The problem is your current IT provider doesn’t understand CMMC and is leaving you to figure it out alone, which makes you feel anxious and exposed because your reputation—and your contracts—are on the line.

We believe IT should protect your business and simplify compliance—not leave you stressed and guessing.

We understand how overwhelming it feels when you’re responsible for compliance but your IT partner isn’t giving you the guidance you need, which is why we specialize in helping government contractors meet CMMC requirements with certified experts, documented processes, and real-time visibility into your compliance progress.

Here’s how we do it:

1

Book a compliance discovery call so we can understand your specific CMMC needs

2

Get a tailored compliance assessment that identifies gaps and outlines exactly what to fix

3

Partner with us to implement and maintain your compliance—without the confusion

So, schedule your compliance discovery call with one of our specialists today.

And in the meantime, download our free CMMC Readiness Checklist to see where your gaps are.

So you can stop losing contracts and second-guessing your compliance status and instead feel confident, protected, and in control of your compliance journey.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a CMMC readiness assessment?

A CMMC readiness assessment is a proactive review of your organization’s cybersecurity practices, policies, and documentation to identify gaps before your official CMMC assessment. It ensures you meet Department of Defense (DoD) requirements, including NIST 800-171 and DFARS clauses.

Why should I prepare for CMMC before the official audit?

Without preparation, contractors risk failing the CMMC assessment, which can result in losing current contracts or being ineligible for future DoD work. Readiness assessments catch compliance gaps early, saving time, money, and stress.

How long does it take to get CMMC ready?

Timelines vary based on your current cybersecurity maturity, but most contractors need 60–180 days to address gaps, implement controls, and gather evidence before their assessment. Early preparation is critical to meeting DoD deadlines.

What are the most common CMMC compliance gaps?

Frequent issues include incomplete System Security Plans (SSPs), missing evidence of policy enforcement, outdated incident response plans, and unprotected Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). These are high-priority fixes before an official assessment.

Who conducts the official CMMC assessment?

Only accredited C3PAOs (Certified Third-Party Assessment Organizations) can perform official CMMC assessments. A readiness partner like us helps you prepare so you can pass the first time with confidence.

Does CMMC compliance help beyond passing the audit?

Yes. Meeting CMMC standards strengthens your cybersecurity posture, reduces the risk of data breaches, protects CUI, and demonstrates reliability to both the DoD and other prime contractors.
