CMMC Compliance for the Defense Supply Chain.

CMMC compliance becomes a contract requirement on November 10. Brucker Cyber Advisors helps DoW contractors get assessment-ready — from CUI scoping through certification.

November 10 Is the Deadline. The DoW Isn't Waiting.

  • Starting November 10, 2026, all new DoW solicitations will require CMMC compliance as a preaward condition. No certification, no contract.
  • This isn't a future concern. Prime contractors are already asking subs to document their CMMC compliance plans to keep earning new contracts. If you don't have an answer, you're already behind.
  • Level 1 (Self Assessed) applies to contractors handling only Federal Contract Information (FCI). Level 2 (C3PAO Assessed) applies to contractors handling CUI, the vast majority of the supply chain. Level 3 (DIBCAC Assessed) applies to contractors supporting the highest priority programs.
  • Most small and midsize defense contractors lack the inhouse expertise to scope CUI boundaries accurately, build a defensible System Security Plan, implement the full 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls, or prepare for a C3PAO assessment.
  • The window to get ready is closing. Assessment capacity at C3PAOs is finite, and demand is accelerating.

End-to-End CMMC Readiness

Scoped to your environment, your contracts, and your CUI.

CUI Boundary Analysis

We identify where CUI enters, flows through, and is stored across your environment. Accurate scoping reduces compliance cost and assessment surface.

Gap Assessment

A structured evaluation of your current security posture against NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 controls, mapped to your target CMMC level. Delivered as a prioritized findings report with remediation guidance.

SSP & Policy Development

We author your System Security Plan, POA&Ms, and the full policy and procedure document set required for CMMC — written to withstand assessor scrutiny, not just check a box.

Control Implementation Assistance

Hands on engineering support to close gaps: configuration hardening, access control architecture, encryption implementation, logging and monitoring, and incident response planning.

CMMC Consulting Retainer

Ongoing advisory support for maintaining compliance posture, preparing for annual affirmations, responding to assessment findings, and adapting to evolving DFARS/CMMC requirements.
