CMMC Assessment

CMMC Seals
 
The Department of Defense (DoD) requires contractors that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) to comply with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program at Level 2. For contractors that manage only Federal Contract Information (FCI), compliance with CMMC Level 1 is needed. If your organization needs CMMC Level 2, the DoD also requires that your assessment be conducted by a CMMC Third Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO) authorized by The Cyber AB.
 
So, if you’re ready for a CMMC Level 2 assessment, the first step is to find a reliable and experienced C3PAO — and that’s where we come in.

Business Transformation Institute (BTI) has been in business since 2005 and is a C3PAO authorized by The Cyber AB. Our experienced Certified CMMC Assessors (CCAs) and Lead CCAs are qualified to conduct Level 2 assessments and bring extensive knowledge and technical skills to the process. Our team members are authorized to work at the highest levels of government information sensitivity, so you can be sure they understand your customer’s mission and the critical cybersecurity controls at an expert level.

The CMMC Certification Process

During an assessment, our qualified team of assessors will evaluate your organization’s cybersecurity practices against CMMC Level 2 requirements. As a C3PAO, we’re required to follow a phased approach, which may include the following stages depending on your compliance needs:

We’ll work with you to determine a time frame and location for the assessment. We’ll also verify your scope and readiness for the assessment before moving forward. If desired, we will conduct a formal “Mock Assessment” with you prior to proceeding with an on-the-record assessment.

We’ll determine the most cost-effective and beneficial assessment method for your organization. Depending on our chosen methods, our assessment might include examining or testing your organization’s security safeguarding activities. Following the assessment, we’ll determine whether your organization has or hasn’t met Level 2 requirements. 

After sharing the final assessment results with you, we’ll upload them to the CMMC Enterprise Mission Assurance Support Services (eMass) database and issue a certificate stating your CMMC status.

If your organization does not pass the assessment and therefore develops a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms), we can conduct a second assessment to close out POA&Ms.

Reasons to Partner With BTI for CMMC Certification

 

A CMMC assessment is not a one-size-fits-all experience. Your assessor has the discretion to choose the best assessment methods for your organization, so it’s essential to partner with an experienced C3PAO to ensure the process is efficient and cost-effective.

The certified experts at BTI will go above and beyond your expectations. Here’s why:

  • We have a long history with CMMC, and one of our team members was one of the first CMMC assessors authorized by The Cyber AB.
  • We’ve written important components of CMMC assessment methods, training materials, and the framework itself.
  • We have real-world experience implementing technical security controls and various process improvement methodologies.
  • We are authorized at the highest levels to program sensitivity and can support members of the Intelligence Community’s contractor base requiring the highest level of security. Although CUI is not classified, CUI associated with Intelligence Community contracts may be more sensitive than most.
  • We conduct Level 2 assessments for organizations of all sizes, from 10 to 80,000 people.

Here’s What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

BTI succeeds in its mission when an organization is measurably better in a way that makes a real difference, is able to sustain the change for the better, knows that it is better, and is satisfied with the result.

Business Transformation Institute, Inc. (BTI) joined in partnership with Raytheon SAS to help us bring together many diverse business units and to stabilize and improve our performance.  Throughout the years we have worked together and achieved CMMI Maturity Level 5 while bringing together geographically and process diverse units. This has allowed us to have a much higher fluidity in our staff and contract execution locations without suffering performance degradation.  Also, BTI has led the way in choreographing novel appraisal methodologies that have significantly reduced the cost of maintaining CMMI certification and ensuring that the programs do not suffer “set-back” during the gap between certification renewals.

CNI was going to graduate from the federal government’s 8(a) program.  We had to be prepared to compete. Part of this is having good processes.  BTI helped us to do it.

I was fortunate to work with the BTI team on deploying the CMMI Level 2 practice at Western Union. There were a number of obstacles in garnering top-down changes and support everyone that the team was able to work through and make it successful.

Implementing CMMI practices and procedures in an unstructured environment is surely difficult, but the BTI team was able to see the big picture and also make sure that the details were correctly addressed and implemented.

I highly recommend the BTI team!
