Achieve CMMC Level 2 and Compete for More DoD Contracts
CMIT Solutions helps Atlanta-area defense contractors and subcontractors protect Controlled Unclassified Information, address CMMC requirements, and prepare for the assessment required by their contracts.
Preparing for CMMC Level 2 begins with understanding how your existing cybersecurity practices compare with the 110 security requirements drawn from NIST SP 800-171.
CMIT Solutions evaluates the systems, people, policies, and processes within your proposed CMMC assessment scope. We identify missing or insufficient controls, document areas requiring remediation, and help prioritize the work based on compliance risk and operational impact.
CMMC Level 2 applies to organizations that process, store, or transmit Controlled Unclassified Information as part of DoD contract performance. Protecting that information requires coordinated safeguards across user accounts, devices, networks, cloud services, portable media, and third-party providers.
We help implement access controls, multi-factor authentication, encryption, logging, monitoring, incident response procedures, and other protections required within your CMMC scope. Every control must operate effectively and be supported by appropriate documentation.
Depending on the solicitation or contract, Level 2 may require either a self-assessment or a certification assessment conducted by an authorized or accredited C3PAO. CMIT Solutions helps you prepare for the assessment type that applies to your organization.
We review evidence, policies, procedures, system configurations, and control implementation before the formal assessment begins. A structured readiness review helps uncover remaining weaknesses and gives your team time to address them before an assessor evaluates your environment.
Build a clear readiness plan, protect sensitive information, and prepare your organization for its required assessment.

CMMC Gap Analysis
Evaluate current controls against the 110 Level 2 security requirements, identify deficiencies, and establish a prioritized remediation roadmap.
Assessment Scope Review
Identify the people, technology, facilities, and external providers involved in processing, storing, or transmitting CUI.
Access Control
Implement multi-factor authentication, role-based permissions, least-privilege access, account management, and access review procedures.
CUI Protection
Protect Controlled Unclassified Information with encryption, secure transfer methods, portable media controls, and documented handling procedures.
Risk Management
Establish processes for identifying, evaluating, documenting, and responding to cybersecurity risks throughout the organization.
Security Awareness Training
Provide role-based training that helps employees understand their responsibilities when accessing systems or handling CUI.
Incident Response
Develop documented procedures for identifying, containing, investigating, reporting, and recovering from cybersecurity incidents.
Logging and Monitoring
Collect and review security logs, monitor system activity, and investigate anomalies that may indicate unauthorized access or compromise.
Third-Party Provider Review
Evaluate service providers and technology vendors that handle CUI or support systems included within the CMMC assessment scope.
CMMC Documentation
Develop and maintain the System Security Plan, policies, procedures, network diagrams, inventories, evidence, and permitted Plans of Action and Milestones.
Remediation Support
Implement technical safeguards, strengthen business processes, improve documentation, and coordinate specialized testing when needed.
Assessment Readiness Review
Conduct a detailed pre-assessment review modeled on the applicable CMMC assessment process before your self-assessment or C3PAO engagement.
Technology can do more for your business than ever before. But it’s also more complicated than ever to manage. Don’t pull your team away from operations to babysit your technology. Here’s what our Atlanta clients get from partnering with us:
Defense contractors and subcontractors throughout the Atlanta area must be prepared to demonstrate that sensitive government information is properly protected. Under the current CMMC program, requirements can flow from prime contractors to subcontractors at every tier when Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information is involved.
CMIT Solutions supports organizations in Fayetteville, Newnan, Peachtree City, Carrollton, Locust Grove, McDonough, Zebulon, Stockbridge, and surrounding Georgia communities. Our local team helps businesses understand their responsibilities, define the systems included in their assessment scope, and build a practical plan for reaching CMMC Level 2 readiness.
Our CMMC compliance services can include gap analysis, technical remediation, CUI protection, access controls, security monitoring, employee training, incident response planning, vendor review, and documentation development. We also help organize the policies and evidence needed for the applicable self-assessment or C3PAO certification assessment.
CMIT Solutions does not perform the official C3PAO certification assessment. Instead, we help your organization prepare for it and can coordinate with an authorized or accredited C3PAO when an independent Level 2 certification assessment is required. This separation allows the assessor to remain independent while your business receives hands-on assistance throughout the readiness process.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program evaluates whether defense contractors have implemented the information security protections required for the federal information they handle. A contractor must hold the CMMC status specified in an applicable solicitation or contract to remain eligible for the award.
The current CMMC program has three levels. Level 1 addresses basic safeguarding of Federal Contract Information. Level 2 applies when Controlled Unclassified Information is involved and incorporates 110 requirements from NIST SP 800-171. Level 3 adds enhanced protections for selected organizations supporting the DoD’s highest-priority programs.
Level 2 involves implementing and documenting 110 security requirements covering areas such as access control, incident response, audit logging, configuration management, risk assessment, system integrity, and protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
No. Some Level 2 solicitations and contracts require a self-assessment, while others require a certification assessment from an authorized or accredited C3PAO. The applicable contract specifies which Level 2 assessment status is required.
A gap analysis compares your current cybersecurity practices and evidence with the Level 2 requirements. It identifies deficiencies, clarifies the assessment scope, and produces a prioritized roadmap for remediation and assessment preparation.
No. An official Level 2 certification assessment must be conducted by an authorized or accredited C3PAO. CMIT Solutions can help prepare your organization, remediate deficiencies, organize documentation, and coordinate with the independent assessment organization.
A final Level 2 C3PAO status is generally valid for three years, but the organization must submit an affirmation of continuous compliance annually. Applicable requirements must also be maintained throughout contract performance.
