What we do
- Readiness and gap assessment against all 110 requirements and 320 objectives.
- CUI scoping using the asset categories in 32 CFR 170.19.
- SSP and POA&M preparation under the POA&M rules in 32 CFR 170.21.
- SPRS score calculation using the CMMC Scoring Methodology (32 CFR 170.24).
- Mock Assessment (C3PAO-style dry run) — not a C3PAO assessment.
- The Athena platform, to keep your evidence, scores and plans in one place.

How we work
- Working session. 30 minutes on your contracts, data and systems.
- Scope. We draw the CUI boundary and sort assets into categories.
- Assess. We score each objective and calculate your SPRS score.
- Plan. You get a ranked fix list, POA&M eligibility and a timeline.
What we don't do
- We don't certify. Certification decisions are made by an authorized C3PAO or DCMA DIBCAC (32 CFR 170.17, 170.18).
- We aren't a C3PAO or an RPO.
- We never promise a passing result.
Questions to ask any CMMC consultant
- Will you score each of the 320 assessment objectives, or only the 110 requirements?
- How do you decide which items may go on a POA&M?
- Who owns the SSP and evidence when the engagement ends?
- What exactly is in the price, and what is extra?
- Are you also selling me the assessment? (Ask how conflicts are handled.)
