CMMC Compliance
CMMC Compliance
Meet DoD cybersecurity requirements for federal contracts with Net-Tech, your professional technology organization (PTO)
If your organization sells into the defense supply chain, even three tiers down, CMMC is now a condition of the contract. Net-Tech builds the required controls into your environment, maintains them between assessments, and prepares your organization to pass, so certification protects your revenue instead of threatening it.
The Requirement
No Certification, No Contract
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification is the Department of Defense answer to a real problem: sensitive information leaking through the small and midsized contractors in its supply chain. Unlike earlier rules that took contractors at their word, CMMC requires proof, and it is being phased into DoD contracts as a condition of award. Prime contractors are already pushing the requirement down to their subcontractors, including machine shops, logistics firms, and service providers.
For an SMB, that creates an uncomfortable math problem: the revenue depends on the contract, the contract depends on the certification, and the certification depends on a security program most small contractors have never needed before. As a professional technology organization, Net-Tech closes that gap the deliberate way: The required controls become part of how your IT runs, documented and maintained continuously, so the assessment verifies an environment that already exists.
Built in, then verified
The Framework
What CMMC Requires, Level by Level
CMMC 2.0 has three levels, and your contracts determine which one applies.
1
Foundational
For organizations handling federal contract information (FCI).
Basic safeguarding practices, verified through an annual self-assessment.
2
Advanced
For organizations handling controlled unclassified information (CUI).
Built on the 110 security requirements of NIST SP 800-171. Most contracts at this level require a third-party assessment by an authorized C3PAO; a smaller set allows self-assessment.
3
Expert
For the most sensitive programs.
Adding requirements from NIST SP 800-172 and government-led assessments.
The practical center of gravity for most contractors is Level 2, which is why CMMC readiness and NIST 800-171 compliance are two views of the same work.

How Net-Tech Gets You to Certification and Keeps You There
Gap Assessment and Remediation Roadmap
Net-Tech evaluates your environment against the practices your target level requires, identifies exactly where you fall short, and turns the findings into a prioritized remediation roadmap with realistic timelines, so you know what stands between you and certification before a contract deadline forces the question.
Controls Built and Operated, Not Just Specified
CUI protection is infrastructure work: controlled and conditional access to data and systems, multifactor authentication, network segmentation through managed firewalls and switches, encryption, patching kept current, and monitoring 24x7x365. These are the disciplines Net-Tech already runs as a program, applied to the boundary where your federal work lives.

Certification runs on paper as much as configuration: a system security plan describing how each requirement is met, policies and procedures your employees actually follow, and remediation tracking for anything still in progress. Net-Tech develops and maintains this documentation as the environment changes, so it describes reality instead of aspiration.
Workforce Training
CUI handling fails at the person level as often as the system level. Training for your employees is included in the defined Net-Tech programs, covering the security awareness and data handling habits an assessor expects to see in practice, not just in a policy.
Maintained Between Assessments
Certification is not a finish line; contracts require the posture to hold. Because the controls are part of your managed subscription, they keep operating, the evidence keeps accumulating, and re-assessment becomes routine instead of a second crisis.
Benefits
Benefits of CMMC Compliance With Net-Tech
Contracts stay winnable
Certification readiness at the level your work requires keeps you eligible for awards and teaming agreements.
One boundary, well defended
Scoping and segmentation keep CUI contained, which shrinks both your risk and your assessment.
Paper that matches practice
The system security plan and policies describe the environment as it actually runs, which is exactly what assessors verify.
No new headcount
A defense-grade security program operated by the team already managing your IT, instead of hires you cannot justify.
Posture that persists
Controls maintained continuously between assessments, so certification is kept, not just achieved.
Predictable cost
Readiness and upkeep are part of the subscription, not a consulting invoice that arrives with every contract cycle.
1983 Serving Western Washington
Track Record
Federal-Grade Discipline, SMB-Sized Delivery
Since 1983, Net-Tech has built technology programs for Western Washington organizations that answer to strict rules, from healthcare privacy to financial data protection. CMMC extends that same discipline to the defense supply chain that runs through this region: the manufacturers, engineering firms, logistics providers, and service companies that keep prime contractors supplied. The requirement is newer; the approach is not.
