Frequently Asked
Questions
Clear answers on timelines, scope, and what to expect.
How long does it take to become CMMC compliant?
It depends on your current posture and scope. Most organizations land between 3-12 months. After the initial assessment, we provide a detailed timeline with clear milestones.
What makes your CMMC guarantee different?
We guarantee readiness for fully managed clients who follow our roadmap. If an assessment fails, we remediate the environment and support re-assessment. No finger pointing.
Can you help if we already have an IT provider?
Yes. We offer consulting that aligns with your current IT team. We assess gaps, build documentation, and guide implementation based on what you want to own internally.
What’s included in the initial assessment?
We review your current controls, perform a gap analysis, assess risk, and deliver a roadmap with timelines and costs. You’ll know exactly where you stand.
How much does CMMC compliance cost?
Costs vary by scope, environment, and required changes. After assessment, we provide a clear proposal with trade-offs and options.
