CMMC Compliance Advisory

CMMC Compliance Advisory for Defense Contractors and Their Suppliers

If your business handles DoD contracts or sits in the defense supply chain, CMMC compliance isn't optional β€” it's a contract requirement. Infotient helps small defense contractors and subcontractors understand what's required, where they stand, and how to get ready.

What Is CMMC and Do You Need It?

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a DoD framework that requires defense contractors and subcontractors to meet specific cybersecurity standards before they can bid on or perform certain federal contracts.

πŸ”΅

CMMC Level 1

Foundational

17 basic cybersecurity practices. Required for any contractor handling Federal Contract Information (FCI). Annual self-assessment.

🟑

CMMC Level 2

Advanced

110 practices aligned to NIST SP 800-171. Required for contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Triennial third-party assessment for most contracts.

πŸ”΄

CMMC Level 3

Expert

Reserved for the highest priority programs. Government-led assessment.

If your business works with the DoD β€” directly or as a subcontractor to a prime like Lockheed Martin, Bell, L3Harris, Raytheon, or Boeing β€” you likely need CMMC Level 1 or Level 2. Many small DFW businesses in the defense supply chain don't know they're in scope until a prime contractor asks for proof.

ℹ️

Important: Infotient provides CMMC advisory, readiness, and preparation services. We do not conduct official CMMC certification assessments β€” those are performed by Certified Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs). Our role is to help you prepare so that when your C3PAO assessment occurs, you are ready.

Serving the DFW Defense Supply Chain

The Dallas-Dallas area is home to one of the largest defense industry ecosystems in the United States β€” including Lockheed Martin, Bell Textron, L3Harris, Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Dallas, and hundreds of small subcontractors and suppliers who support them.

If your business is part of that supply chain β€” or wants to be β€” CMMC compliance is increasingly a requirement to win and keep contracts. Infotient works with small DFW defense businesses to navigate CMMC without the enterprise consulting overhead.

Common CMMC Questions

How do I know what CMMC level I need?+
Your contract language will reference DFARS clause 252.204-7012 and specify whether you handle FCI or CUI. If you're not sure, bring your contract to our free 15-minute scoping call and we'll tell you exactly what applies.
Can Infotient certify us for CMMC?+
No β€” CMMC certification assessments are conducted by Certified Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs). Infotient provides advisory and readiness support to help you prepare for that assessment so you pass it the first time.
How long does CMMC Level 2 preparation take?+
It depends on your current posture. Organizations starting from scratch typically need 6–18 months. Organizations with existing NIST 800-171 controls and documentation in place may be ready in 3–6 months. Our gap assessment tells you exactly where you stand.
We're a small subcontractor β€” do we really need this?+
If your prime contractor's contract includes DFARS clause 252.204-7012, that obligation flows down to you. Many small subcontractors are surprised to learn they are in scope. Better to find out now than when a contract is on the line.
How is CMMC different from HIPAA compliance?+
HIPAA governs the protection of patient health information in healthcare. CMMC governs the protection of federal contract and defense information for DoD contractors. Some organizations β€” such as healthcare companies with defense contracts β€” may need both. Infotient has expertise in both frameworks.
