Secure Your Future with DOD Contracts: NIST SP 800-171, SSP, POAM, and CMMC Services

Secure your contracts and elevate your bids with our specialized defense compliance services tailored to meet and exceed DOD cybersecurity framework requirements. Don’t just comply; excel.

At PBMares, we understand the criticality of complying with the Department of Defense’s stringent cybersecurity requirements. Securing sensitive information is more than just a mandate; it’s a foundation for trust and integrity in the defense industry. We specialize in guiding prime contractors and subcontractors through the complex landscape of cybersecurity compliance, ensuring that you can focus on what you do best — delivering unparalleled service to the Department of Defense.

Comprehensive NIST SP 800-171 Assessments

Our team of seasoned cybersecurity professionals provides comprehensive NIST SP 800-171 assessment services, diving deep into the Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) your company manages. We meticulously evaluate your systems and processes against the rigorous standards set forth by the NIST framework to identify any gaps in compliance.

Meeting the NIST SP 800-171 requirements requires prime contractors and subcontractors to develop a System Security Plan (SSP) and associated Plan of Actions and Milestones (POAM). With our assessment, you receive a detailed System Security Plan (SSP) that outlines how your information system meets the necessary security controls and, even more crucially, a Plan of Actions and Milestones (POAM) that charts a clear, actionable path to remediation of any deficiencies.

System Security Plan (SSP)

We generate a robust and comprehensive SSP, highlighting your control environment at the time of our assessment, that acts as your organization’s roadmap for meeting necessary security controls, thereby achieving the highest level of safeguarding for your CUI.

Plan of Actions and Milestones (POAM)

Our meticulous approach to crafting POAMs ensures that if there are deficiencies in your security posture, they are clearly identified and with actionable, prioritized steps laid out for remediation.

CMMC Readiness and Audit Engagement Services

Competing for DOD contracts demands compliance and proof of cybersecurity maturity. In 2020, the DOD declared that any organization providing products or services to the DOD or its supply chain must comply with CMMC. The CMMC framework streamlines requirements into three levels of cybersecurity and aligns the requirements at each level with well-known and widely accepted NIST cybersecurity standards.

Our Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) readiness and audit engagement services ensure you meet and exceed DOD expectations. We offer tailored readiness assessments that prepare your organization for every level of CMMC audit, ensuring you understand the requirements of each level and assist in your journey towards certification.

CMMC Readiness Assessments

By conducting thorough assessments, we can pinpoint your current cybersecurity maturity level and identify what is needed to reach the desired level (level 1-3) for your DOD engagements. We provide detailed gap analyses against CMMC requirements and develop customized remediation plans to eliminate vulnerabilities and compliance gaps. We can also help you create an SSP or fill in the gaps of your existing SSP, including the scope and CMMC requirements.

CMMC Audit Engagement

PBMares also offers comprehensive audit services to prepare you for the official CMMC assessment, ensuring you have the best chance of achieving certification.
