Compliance & Authorization
CMMC & NIST SP 800-171
Readiness assessments, remediation and documentation that prepare defense contractors for CMMC certification.
Overview
Get CMMC-ready, and stay there.
Defense contractors that handle Controlled Unclassified Information must meet NIST SP 800-171 and the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). CDT helps companies across the Defense Industrial Base understand where they stand, close the gaps, and get ready for their certification assessment, backed by a 100% pass rate for our compliance clients. As an independent readiness partner, we prepare you for the assessment; the certification assessment itself is performed by an authorized C3PAO.
