Compliance programs fail when they live in a binder instead of in your operations.
Who this is for
Defense contractors, manufacturers, and R&D organizations that handle CUI and have outgrown ad-hoc compliance. If your policies were written to pass a questionnaire, or nobody can say who owns a given control, this is the engagement.
Problems we address
- Policies that describe an organization you don’t have
- No traceable link between requirements, implementation, and evidence
- Risk accepted informally, with no record of who decided or why
- Compliance knowledge concentrated in one person’s head
- Audit preparation that restarts from zero every cycle
Scope and approach
We start by establishing what is actually true: current state, real data flows, and where controlled information lives. From there we build the governance structures that make compliance repeatable — assigned control ownership, documented risk decisions, and a review cadence that fits your staffing rather than an idealized org chart.
We work in your environment, with your tools. There is no parallel compliance universe to maintain.
Typical deliverables
- Control ownership matrix mapped to NIST SP 800-171 requirements
- Policy and procedure set written against your actual operations
- Risk register with documented acceptance decisions and rationale
- Evidence collection model and repository structure
- Governance calendar for reviews, updates, and recurring attestations
Framework and technology context
NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 and Rev. 3, DFARS 252.204-7012, CMMC Level 2, and NIST SP 800-53 where required by contract.
If compliance has become something you maintain rather than something you can prove, let’s talk.
