GuestCompliance Today, Contract Readiness Tomorrow
<br>
If your organization works with the Department of Defense (DoD) or handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), you already know CMMC 2.0 is the new baseline.
Level 2 compliance is central to CUI protection for SMB defense contractors.
Compliance isn’t “set it and forget it”—it’s a living responsibility.
<br><br>
Treat compliance as a sustained discipline, not a single deadline.
Threats evolve and expectations shift, so what’s compliant today may not be tomorrow.
Let’s break down steady-state compliance and a smarter way to stay ready.
<br>Sustaining CMMC Level 2 Compliance
<br>
Achieving Level 2 aligned with NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 is the start—not the end.
You’ll need constant oversight, up-to-date documentation, and active monitoring.
<br>Monthly Tasks
Risk Reviews – Reassess emerging threats, new assets, and vendor changes.
Asset Management – Track hardware and software tied to CUI.
Data Flow Audits – Confirm how CUI moves across systems.
Training Updates – Keep employee security awareness current.
MSP/MSSP Oversight – Review metrics and performance regularly.Quarterly Actions
Deep Risk Assessments – Analyze vulnerabilities in detail.
Policy & Procedure Reviews – Version and publish updated policies.
Vulnerability Scans – Track fixes to completion.Annual Requirements
Self-Assessments – Refresh compliance scores as needed.
Tabletop Exercises – Test incident response plans.
Penetration Testing – Document findings and fixes.
Audit Preparation – Coordinate with assessment teams.<br>
For many small and mid-sized organizations, this workload is a full-time job.
<br>Why Internal Teams Struggle
<br>
Teams focused on delivering mission outcomes rarely have capacity for end-to-end compliance work.
Without a structured program, you risk failed audits, distractions, and security gaps.
<br>Readiness gaps that block opportunities.
Project slowdowns from compliance work.
Increased exposure from control drift.
Outdated evidence and documentation.<br>
