Most defense contractors don't know where they stand. That's a problem — because enforcement is live, and the contractors who wait are running out of time to act.
Book Your Free Scoping CallAs of November 2025, CMMC requirements are appearing in active DoD contracts. Phase 2 — requiring third-party certification — begins November 2026. No certification means no contract award. No grace periods.
A gap assessment tells you where you stand. Closing those gaps takes time. Contractors who wait until a contract shows up with a CMMC clause find out too late to do anything about it.
For years, contractors self-reported near-perfect compliance. Independent auditors found the real average hovering around −12 out of 110. The vast majority of the market doesn't know where they actually stand.
338,000 contractors. 88 authorized assessors. The contractors who move first get access to assessors, lower costs, and time to close gaps. The ones who wait find the queue is full — and there is no "we couldn't get an assessor in time" clause in a DoD contract.
