CMMC Compliance Consulting & Audit Readiness

Prepare Your Business for DoD Contracts with Local Experts You Can Trust
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a critical framework for protecting sensitive information within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). With the transition to CMMC 2.0, organizations working with the Department of Defense (DoD) must meet evolving cybersecurity standards to remain eligible for contracts.
At 46Solutions, we’re more than just IT providers – we’re a local, employee-owned business with over 600 years of combined IT experience and a team committed to your success. Our certifications, including SOC 2 Type II compliance, ensure we meet the highest standards in cybersecurity. We not only help you achieve CMMC compliance but also position your organization to pass audits seamlessly and secure valuable defense contracts.
What is CMMC, and Why Does it Matter?
Starting in 2025, the DoD will require all contractors and subcontractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) to achieve CMMC compliance before being awarded a contract. While a three-year phase-in period will begin, preparation is key to avoiding delays, as the demand for Certified Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs) is already high.
For businesses looking to remain competitive and eligible for lucrative defense contracts, achieving CMMC compliance is not optional – it’s a necessity.
Who Needs CMMC Compliance?
If your organization handles FCI or CUI, compliance is mandatory. This includes:
- DoD Contractors and Subcontractors – Manufacturing, research, and development entities.
- Suppliers – Vendors providing goods or services to the DoD.
- Small Businesses – Even small subcontractors must comply if they access sensitive data.
- Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) – Companies processing or storing data for defense contractors.
Compliance ensures you’re ready for contracts that demand cybersecurity maturity and accountability.
