CMMC Compliance Services
Achieve CMMC compliance to protect sensitive information and enhance your cyber security posture
LRQA experts are certified CMMC Registered Practitioners accredited by CyberAB
Developed by the U.S. Department of Defense, the Cyber Security Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a comprehensive cyber risk management model that measures an organization’s capabilities against three cyber security maturity levels. CMMC compliance is required for companies that are part of the Department of Defense (DoD) supply chain and handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
Our certified CMMC Registered Practitioners are ready to deliver tailored, actionable guidance and strategies to help you achieve compliance.
Our approach to CMMC Services
Establish a program
We take a methodical approach that breaks down the compliance with CMMC into milestones.
Set objectives
We help identify the maturity level your organization will target. Whichever level your organization opts to target, it is important to set that clear goal upfront.
Leverage existing practices
We assess your aligned practices to NIST 800-171 to leverage the output of prior audits against that framework.
Our certified CMMC Registered Practitioners are ready to help
We want governance and compliance to be a strategic asset for your organization and that means delivering proactive advice and guidance that is tailored to your organisation. Our experts are certified CMMC Registered Practitioners (RPs) who are accredited by the CyberAB to conduct CMMC preparations that fully align with an official CMMC assessment (carried out by Certified Third-Party Assessment Organizations or C3PAOs).
After taking the time to get to know your organization and understand your priorities, our CMMC experts partner with you through the following phases to help you prepare for your assessment and achieve CMMC compliance:
Gap analysis
We identify where you are doing well and where you need help based on the maturity level that you seek to achieve. This includes a series of interviews and a review of documentation and evidence.
Reporting
We consolidate all our findings into a single gap analysis and practical compliance roadmap report. This includes recommendations on practice improvements and remediation activities in a format consistent with a plan of action and milestones. Our report is suitable for executive leadership and operational team members.
Strategy and remediation
We support project management of the remediation program, consult on the most effective corrective measures to meet requirements and report on the progress to senior management and executive stakeholders. As a world-leading cyber security organization, we also have experts capable of fulfilling any roles where you may need support.
Pre-assessment
We conduct a full-scope CMMC pre-assessment that directly reflects the approach and techniques that the C3PAO will utilize. We then issue a comprehensive report that identifies any CMMC practices and process requirements that are not fully met and offer recommendations on addressing each deficiency.
Audit preparation and management
We oversee the remediation of any remaining deficiencies identified in the pre-assessment. We will track progress, advise on when you are ready for an official assessment and organize evidentiary material so that the C3PAO assessor can find the required information efficiently.
During the audit, we support or manage your response to the audit by attending the assessment kick-off meeting, walking the assessor through the structure of the evidence repository and identifying relevant stakeholders and subject matter experts. We also coordinate the scheduling of assessor interviews and prepare stakeholders to respond to assessor inquiries.
