What is CMMC readiness consulting?

CMMC readiness consulting is an engagement where a consultant works alongside your team to implement the 110 NIST 800-171 controls required for CMMC Level 2. This includes gap assessment, control implementation, SSP development, evidence collection, and preparation for your C3PAO third-party assessment.

What is included in CMMC readiness consulting?

VIS LLC CMMC readiness consulting includes: initial gap analysis, CUI scoping and enclave design, IaC-based control implementation (Terraform or Azure Bicep), System Security Plan (SSP) development, POA&M management, pre-assessment walkthrough, and evidence package preparation for your C3PAO audit.

How long does it take to reach CMMC Level 2 readiness?

CMMC Level 2 readiness typically takes 6–18 months. Organizations with a well-documented NIST 800-171 program and a defined CUI enclave can reach assessment readiness in 6–9 months. Organizations starting from scratch — no policies, no SSP, no enclave — typically need 12–18 months depending on staff capacity and budget.

Do I need a consultant to achieve CMMC Level 2?

You are not required to use a consultant for CMMC Level 2 — you can self-implement all 110 NIST 800-171 controls. However, most small and midsize defense contractors do not have the internal expertise to correctly scope CUI boundaries, implement all 14 control families, and build defensible evidence documentation. A CMMC consultant can significantly reduce the risk of assessment failure.

Full-Engagement CMMC Level 2 Readiness for DoD Contractors

VIS LLC's CMMC readiness engagement takes DoD contractors from initial gap assessment through C3PAO assessment preparation — implementing all required NIST 800-171 controls using Infrastructure as Code, developing the System Security Plan, improving the SPRS score, and preparing the evidence packages a C3PAO assessor will request.

Most DoD contractors engage us because they have a contract at risk, an assessment scheduled, or a prime contractor applying pressure. We work efficiently to close the most critical gaps first — the ones that most directly threaten your SPRS score and contract eligibility.

Key Features

Initial CMMC gap analysis (all 110 controls)

We start every engagement with a full 110-control gap analysis to establish your current compliance posture and SPRS baseline.

SPRS score baseline and improvement

We document your current SPRS score, identify the highest-impact gaps, and implement remediations to improve your score.

IaC-based control implementation

Every control is implemented in Terraform or Azure Policy — enforced by configuration, not maintained by procedure.

CUI enclave design and implementation

We design and implement a minimum-scope CUI enclave to reduce your assessment surface area and simplify control implementation.

System Security Plan development

We develop the SSP your C3PAO assessor will review — written to reflect what your systems can technically demonstrate.

C3PAO assessment preparation and evidence packaging

We prepare the evidence packages, conduct a pre-assessment walkthrough, and brief your team on assessor expectations.
