CMMC compliance for defense technology providers
CMMC Compliance for Defense Technology Providers
Defense technology providers deliver the software, AI/ML, sensors, and cyber capabilities that define modern defense. We bring your dev, model, and ops environments to CMMC Level 2, and Level 3 when required.

Defense technology providers build the software, AI/ML models, sensor systems, and cyber capabilities that the warfighter depends on. Your CUI includes source code, trained models, sensor data, mission-planning integrations, and cyber tools, assets that are simultaneously the most valuable and the most targeted in your environment.
Modern defense tech environments run on cloud (often AWS GovCloud or Azure Government), CI/CD pipelines, containerized services, and heavy developer tooling. Every artifact in the pipeline can be in scope for CMMC: source, build artifacts, models, datasets, test data, and deployed services.
DoD is flowing CMMC Level 2 and often Level 3 onto new technology contracts. Providers that cannot demonstrate certified readiness will lose eligibility on SBIR/STTR follow-ons, OTA awards, and program-of-record contracts.
We build CMMC programs for defense technology providers that match how modern software shops work: cloud-native enclaves, pipeline integrity, model and dataset protection, and developer-friendly controls.

Defense Technology Providers: CMMC questions
When do defense tech providers need CMMC?
DoD is flowing Level 2 onto new contracts now; Level 3 applies to mission-critical programs.
Does CMMC apply to SBIR/STTR?
SBIR Phase I may be Level 1; Phase II and III and follow-on contracts with CUI typically require Level 2.
How do we protect AI/ML models?
With enclave access, dataset lineage, signed model artifacts, and audit logging.
How long does readiness take?
Eight to fourteen months.
Do we need GCC High?
If you handle CUI in M365, typically yes. Other CUI environments can live in AWS GovCloud or Azure Government.
