CMMC Consulting Services

Prepare for CMMC 2.0 compliance with our expert guidance as a Registered Provider Organization (RPO) to streamline your path to certification.

Talk to an Expert

The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) lays out the framework necessary for defense contractors and subcontractors to protect controlled unclassified information (CUI) to work with the Department of Defense (DoD). Now that the long-awaited Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) v2.0 has finally been published, there is a clear path towards certification of these requirements in 2025. Given that implementation timelines for organizations can easily exceed 1 year, there is no time to lose to remain qualified for DoD contracts once CMMC requirements are in effect. Tevora’s CMMC compliance services help assess readiness, remediate gaps, and confidently prepare for certification.

Why Work with an RPO for CMMC Compliance?

CMMC is a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO), authorized by the Cyber AB to support organizations in their CMMC readiness efforts. Our proven CMMC compliance program has been perfected through years of working as security advisors to some of the largest companies in the world. Tevora is an accredited Cybersecurity Inspector for conducting NIST 800-171 services (Learn more here) We can help you plan for and attain CMMC certification.

For organizations further along in their CMMC journey, as a candidate CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO), Tevora will be able to sponsor companies through the provisional certification process, and to conduct full Level 2 assessments once the rule is finalized. Securing your Level 2 certification will qualify you for virtually all DoD contracts (>99%) for its 3-year duration.

What is CMMC Compliance?

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a framework developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) to enhance cybersecurity across the defense industrial base (DIB). It establishes a tiered certification model to ensure that contractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) implement appropriate cybersecurity controls.

CMMC integrates with existing standards, including NIST SP 800-171 and FAR 52.204-21, to provide a structured approach to safeguarding sensitive data. Compliance is crucial for organizations participating in DoD contracts, as failure to meet the required level of certification can result in lost contract opportunities.

CMMC 2.0 Levels

Levels of CMMC Compliance

Level 1: Foundational (Basic Safeguards for FCI)

Level 1 focuses on implementing 17 basic cybersecurity controls to protect FCI. It requires organizations to perform an annual self-assessment.

Level 2: Advanced (Rigorous Protections for CUI)

This level aligns with NIST SP 800-171 and requires organizations to implement 110 cybersecurity practices to protect CUI. Depending on contract requirements, companies may need to undergo a third-party assessment or conduct self-assessments.

Level 3: Expert (Highest Level of Cybersecurity)

Level 3 is designed for organizations handling highly sensitive CUI. It builds upon Level 2 by incorporating additional cybersecurity requirements based on NIST SP 800-172. Assessments for this level are government-led.

CMMC Certified Assessment

Tevora is in the final stages of becoming a C3PAO and will soon be able to sponsor organizations through the provisional certification process or offer full Level 2 Certification upon finalizations of the rule.

Key Differences Between CMMC 1.0 and 2.0

CMMC 2.0 reduces the number of compliance levels from five to three.

Level 2 organizations may have the option for self-assessment instead of mandatory third-party audits.

CMMC 2.0 introduces greater alignment with NIST SP 800-171 requirements, streamlining the certification process.

DoD Contractor Requirements

Why CMMC Compliance Matters for DoD Contractors

Any organization that wants to bid on any DoD contracts must meet specific CMMC requirements. The necessary certification level is determined by the type of information handled. Contractors must:

- Identify if they process, store, or transmit FCI or CUI.

- Determine their required CMMC level based on contract requirements.

- Obtain certification from an accredited third-party assessment organization (C3PAO) or through a government-led audit.

Ongoing Compliance Support
