Navigating CMMC in the Defense Industry

If your business works with the Department of Defense, CMMC compliance is now mandatory. Without it, you risk losing existing contracts and missing out on new revenue opportunities.

Cyberattacks against defense contractors have surged more than 300% since 2018, and in the past 12 months, 8 out of 10 defense organizations have reported a breach. To protect national security, the Department of Defense created the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program. This framework ensures that every contractor and subcontractor follows strict cybersecurity standards.

Nearly 70% of the Defense Industrial Base is made up of small and mid-sized contractors who often do not have the internal resources or cybersecurity expertise to meet these requirements.

That is where Intelligent Technical Solutions (ITS) comes in. As a CMMC-focused MSP/MSSP, we simplify the path to compliance. We help you close security gaps, avoid costly errors, and protect your contracts while keeping your team focused on running your business.

Why CMMC Matters

Safeguards Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
Defines three cybersecurity maturity levels:
- Level 1: Basic safeguarding for FCI, covering 17 foundational controls outlined in FAR 52.204-21
- Level 2: Advanced protections for CUI, aligned with 110 NIST 800-171 controls that map to 320 individual objectives
- Level 3: Expert-level protections based on NIST 800-172
Starting in 2025, CMMC compliance will be required to bid on or renew Department of Defense contracts

Failing to comply can result in lost contracts or False Claims Act penalties if your reported security posture does not match your actual practices.

CMMC compliance goes beyond penalty avoidance. It opens new opportunities for growth. Many ITS clients have turned compliance into a competitive advantage, winning contracts from prime contractors that prefer certified partners. Early adopters have used CMMC readiness to secure new business and build trust with Department of Defense decision-makers.

Why Compliance Feels Overwhelming

For many contractors, CMMC compliance can feel complicated and time-consuming.

Complex requirements: Level 1 includes 17 controls, while Level 2 contains 110 controls and 320 objectives across multiple categories of cybersecurity practices.
Heavy documentation: You need a System Security Plan (SSP), Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&M), data flow diagrams, and policy documentation, each supported by dozens of artifacts.
Limited in-house expertise: Many small and mid-sized companies rely on general IT support that does not specialize in compliance frameworks.
High stakes: 70% of cyberattacks target small businesses, and 60% of those affected never recover.

Even confident IT teams often underestimate their readiness. Assessors report that many organizations score themselves around “88 out of 110,” yet when the official scoring begins, they fall well below compliance standards.

The 14 Families (Domains)

CMMC Level 2 controls are organized into 14 security domains. Each domain covers a key area of cybersecurity that organizations must address to protect FCI and CUI.

How ITS Makes CMMC Compliance Easier

ITS has guided organizations in manufacturing, defense contracting, and technology through every stage of CMMC compliance. Our process aligns with the official ITS CMMC Onboarding Roadmap, which includes policy creation, technical remediation, and preparation for assessment.

Expert Guidance
A Proven Roadmap
Cost-Effective Security
Less Stress for Your Team
Always-On Protection
Competitive Advantage

Expert Guidance Without the Jargon

We translate complex government requirements into plain English. You always know what each control means, why it matters, and how to meet it effectively.

Our team understands the official terminology used by the Department of Defense. For example, CMMC requires an assessment, not an audit. This aligns your documentation with what Certified Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs) expect.

A Proven Roadmap

Our onboarding roadmap provides structure and direction throughout your compliance journey.

Day 1–60: Gap assessment and System Security Plan creation
Day 60–170: Policy development, documentation onboarding, and risk management meetings
After Day 170: Technical implementation, testing, and ongoing compliance tracking

We manage everything from policies and procedures to data flow diagrams and responsibility matrices, ensuring your project stays on track.

Cost-Effective Security

Building an internal compliance team can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. ITS provides you with:

24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) monitoring
Managed vulnerability scanning and patching
Compliance consulting and documentation
Complete policy, plan, and procedure templates

All at a fraction of the cost of hiring full-time staff.

Less Stress for Your Team

We handle the heavy lifting so your employees can stay focused on daily operations. From policy writing to coordinating with assessors, our team acts as your virtual compliance department.

Always-On Protection

CMMC compliance requires consistent attention and improvement. ITS provides continuous support through:

Real-time security monitoring
Incident response and recovery planning
Ongoing compliance tracking
Regular employee cybersecurity training

Gain a Competitive Advantage

Compliance builds trust with prime contractors, subcontractors, and Department of Defense officials. Companies that complete their certification early gain preferred status for new opportunities and become more attractive to high-value partners.

ITS experienced this benefit firsthand when we completed our own SOC 2 Type II certification, which opened the door to larger enterprise clients who required higher assurance standards.

Stay Ahead of CMMC Changes

CMMC requirements continue to evolve. ITS keeps you ahead of every update, including:

The simplified three-tier model (no longer labeled as CMMC 2.0)
A phased rollout through 2025
Third-party assessments for Level 2 contractors
Updated terminology such as Customer Responsibility Matrix (CRM), which replaces the older term “Shared Responsibility Matrix”

Our compliance experts track these changes so you always know what is coming and how to prepare in advance.
