CMMC Consulting Services

CMMC Seals 2

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) version 2.0 has many requirements to wade through — 320 objectives spread over 110 controls — from access control to incident reporting practices. Implementing the security controls in CMMC can be a challenge. Nevertheless, if your organization handles sensitive information for the Department of Defense (DoD), you must adhere to CMMC as of December 16, 2024, and prove your compliance through an official assessment.

At Business Transformation Institute (BTI), we understand that CMMC has a lot to navigate — and we’ve seen it all when it comes to implementation. With our CMMC consulting services, our experts meet you where you are and help you create a practical path toward certification at your required CMMC level.

How Our CMMC Compliance Consultants Prepare You for an Assessment

Our CMMC consultants will share their knowledge, skills, and experience to help you prepare for an assessment efficiently and cost-effectively. As assessors authorized by The Cyber AB, they have a deep understanding of CMMC requirements at every level and possess the technical skills to guide a smooth implementation of security controls. 

Our people were part of the original working group that developed the CMMC itself and the process that assessor organizations (C3PAOs) use to measure adherence to CMMC requirements. Our consultants are also skilled at balancing compliance requirements with organizational needs and objectives to sustain business growth. 

 

We provide the following CMMC compliance consulting services:

 

Before your official CMMC assessment, you must determine which assets will be assessed. We’ll assist you in identifying organizational assets in scope

  • Scoping: Before your official CMMC assessment, you must determine which assets will be assessed. We’ll assist you in identifying organizational assets in scope for CMMC.
  • Gap analysis: Through a comprehensive CMMC gap analysis, we’ll accurately and methodically assess your existing cybersecurity framework against CMMC, identifying gaps and determining priorities. The gap analysis helps avoid any problems by identifying issues before they become time-sensitive POAMs (Plan of Action and Milestones).
  • Remediation planning: If we identify cybersecurity gaps, we’ll collaborate with you to develop a detailed, practical plan to remediate vulnerabilities.
  • Implementation: A CMMC compliance consultant will review, make recommendations on, and assist with implementing technical security controls. We’ll also help you develop the required documentation, such as a system security plan and training materials.
  • Monitoring and maintenance: Our team can assist you in establishing the proper monitoring and maintenance controls to stay compliant with CMMC.

FAQs About CMMC Consulting 

Have questions? See our FAQs below or connect with our team.

How Long Does CMMC Certification Take?

The time it takes to get certified in CMMC depends on your organization’s size, the CMMC level you must achieve, and the complexity of remediation steps. Generally, if your organization hasn’t considered CMMC before, expect to spend six months to a year or longer to prepare for a CMMC Level 2 assessment. Organizations that have a Facility Clearance (FCL) may be able to reduce that time by a factor of three.

The assessment itself takes one to four weeks, depending on the implementation scope. Our consultants will work with you to determine timelines that best meet your compliance and organizational needs.

How Much Does CMMC Certification Consulting Cost?

The cost of our CMMC consulting services varies depending on the scope of the work and your organization’s size. Variables include the number of locations included in the CMMC scope, whether CUI and FCI materials are hard- or soft-copy (or both), whether mobile devices can access CUI and FCI, and so on. Please contact us for a quote.

Why Is CMMC Compliance Important?

Compliance with the CMMC program showcases your commitment to protecting federal contract information (FCI) from evolving cybersecurity threats. CMMC compliance is also a preventive measure to protect government contractors and their supply chains from unauthorized access to Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). With a CMMC, you can work for the DoD. 

Who Needs CMMC Compliance?

CMMC is required for businesses seeking eligibility to bid on DoD contracts. Compliance with the CMMC frameworks highlights your role in national security and dedication to upholding cybersecurity requirements. 

Does CMMC Only Apply to DoD Contracts?

CMMC applies when DoD includes it in a solicitation. It applies to all companies performing under that DoD contract, including non-U.S. companies, but it’s not a general requirement outside DoD contracting.

The program is designed to give a competitive edge to any business that wants to protect its data, systems, and network from cybersecurity threats.

What Are the Levels of CMMC, and Which One Do You Need?

There are three levels of CMMC:

  • Level 1 (Foundational): This level is for companies that handle FCI but are not considered part of the critical infrastructure category.
  • Level 2 (Advanced): This level is for businesses working with CUI that are included in the essential sectors of infrastructure, such as water, energy, and transportation.
  • Level 3 (Expert): This level is for prioritized acquisitions requiring enhanced protection. Assessments are performed by DoD designation

What Is a CMMC Consultant?

CMMC consultants are experts in the CMMC certification, possessing knowledge at every level. They are assessors authorized by the Cyber AB to ensure a smooth implementation of security controls for compliance requirements. As industry experts, they also consider organizations’ needs and objectives. Get help from our CMMC consultants to strengthen your compliance strategy and secure DoD contracts.

How Can Organizations Prepare for CMMC Compliance?

To prepare for CMMC compliance, you need proper guidance from CMMC consultants with solid expertise and experience in the certification process. At BTI, we offer CMMC consulting services, including scoping to determine organizational assets covered for CMMC and remediation planning to identify cybersecurity gaps. 

What Are Gap Analysis Consulting Services?

A gap analysis is a core part of the process when earning CMMC. This internal cybersecurity assessment carefully compares your existing cybersecurity frameworks against CMMC guidelines. The evaluation needs to be performed by a C3PAO like BTI.

We offer a comprehensive gap analysis included in our consulting services that identifies gaps in your company’s controls regarding CMMC compliance status. Through this assessment, it’s easy to determine issues before they become time-sensitive as part of your Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) after your CMMC assessment.

When Will CMMC 2.0 Compliance Be Required?

The latest version of the CMMC, or the CMMC 2.0, took effect on December 16, 2024, while the advanced Level 2 CMMC requirements were rolled out in March 2025. Since the timeline to meet 48 CFR requirements is short, timely compliance is of the essence. Take proactive steps with CMMC compliance to stay aligned with the federal requirements and minimize operational risks. At BTI, we streamline the process to help you with your CMMC journey. 

What Are the Consequences of CMMC Noncompliance?

Noncompliance with CMMC means being at risk of evolving threats that impact your systems, network, and data. Without CMMC, you are not allowed to bid on DoD contracts, limiting your business coverage.

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.

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!
