I’m interested in CMMC advisory services.
If you are starting your journey, we can offer guidance for which steps you should take.
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a set of cybersecurity standards that organizations can use to measure and improve the security of their information systems. The United States Department of Defense (DoD) developed this certification as a preventive measure against increasing cyberattacks on government contractors and their supply chains.
At BTI, our mission as a certified assessment provider (C3PAO), training provider (LTP), and implementation expert is to help your organization achieve your required CMMC level and have the right level of cybersecurity in the context of your business goals and environment.
We provide several services based on where you’re at in the certification process. Where do you want to start?

I want CMMC training.
When you need to take steps to achieve certification, our team can help you understand what’s necessary for full compliance and learn how to take the necessary steps to achieve this goal.
We offer CMMC courses including the Certified CMMC Professional (CCP) Comprehensive and Certified CMMC Assessor (CCA) Comprehensive.
I’m ready for my CMMC assessment.
Once you are ready to begin, we’ll assess areas like your company’s cybersecurity procedures, technical controls, policies, and documentation to see how prepared you are for potential breaches.
CMMC impacts organizations that work with the DoD and must protect sensitive information that is critical to national security. These companies must meet specific CMMC certification levels before they bid on contracts.
CMMC certification can also benefit your company even if you’re not in the DoD supply chain. This comprehensive framework for assessing and improving cybersecurity maturity sets your business up with advanced protection from online threats. You’ll also prove to your customers and stakeholders that your company takes cybersecurity seriously.
CMMC is comprised of three distinct levels. Depending on the nature of your business, we can help identify which level is the best fit for your organizational needs.
The lowest level of security controls a government contractor must have in place to earn a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. All DIB contractors and subcontractors require at least CMMC Level 1 compliance to do business with the DoD. Level 1 demonstrates that an organization has the basic security controls in place to adequately protect FCI, which is not intended for public release. Level 1 has 17 practices that qualified government contractors should meet.
Level 2 is the transitional phase between basic security measures to protect FCI and the measures required for sound protection of CUI. This is the bridge between baseline requirements and the authorization to handle sensitive data. Reaching this level indicates that a contractor is working towards good cyber hygiene while continuing to establish the processes needed to protect CUI. To obtain this level, contractors must demonstrate they have 72 specific security practices in place.
Organizations that have reached CMMC Level 3 have should already have the basic security controls in place needed to protect sensitive data. Level 3 requires that an organization establish, maintain, and resource a plan demonstrating the management of activities for practice implementation. The plan may include information for missions, goals, project plans, resources, required training, and involvement of relevant stakeholders. Building on the security requirements of Levels 1 and 2, obtaining Level 3 indicates a contractor has put 130 cybersecurity requirements in place.
CMMC services are designed to help your company protect sensitive data and comply with Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. This certification will prove that you have implemented a robust cybersecurity program capable of protecting sensitive information and allow you to work with the DoD, as CMMC for DoD contractors is a government requirement.

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!
