Secure Your DoD Contracts: Expert CMMC Compliance

For commercial printing and construction businesses in the DIB, safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is no longer optional. OSTREMO ensures you are compliant, secure, and audit-ready.

CMMC Assessment

Precision IT Assessments

(NIST SP 800-171 R2)

You can't fix what you haven't measured. We conduct thorough, practical assessments of your current IT infrastructure against CMMC standards based on the NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 framework. We identify exactly where your network stands today and map out the specific technical gaps you need to close in your printing or construction firm.

A successful compliance journey begins with a precise understanding of your current environment. Our deep-dive assessments examine your entire IT infrastructure—from local workstations and servers to cloud applications and network firewalls. We methodically map how Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) flows through your commercial printing or construction firm, identifying exactly where sensitive data is stored, transmitted, and processed.

We evaluate your systems against all 110 controls within the NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 framework. This process involves reviewing your existing access controls, incident response capabilities, physical security measures, and data encryption standards. Because we specialize in the DIB supply chain, we know how to assess specialized hardware—like large-format plotters, networked construction management tools, and heavy-duty print servers—without disrupting your daily workflow.

The final deliverable is a comprehensive Gap Analysis Report. This report establishes your baseline compliance score, categorizes vulnerabilities by severity, and outlines a prioritized roadmap for remediation. You will know exactly where your IT posture stands and exactly what technical and administrative steps are required to close the gaps and protect your DoD contracts.

CMMC Assessment SSP

Comprehensive SSP Development

System Security Plan

Your System Security Plan (SSP) is the foundational document of your compliance journey. We work alongside your team to develop a robust, tailored SSP that accurately reflects your business operations, data flows, and security controls, clearly demonstrating how you safeguard federal contract information.

The System Security Plan (SSP) is the central nervous system of your CMMC compliance. Auditors consider it the most critical document in your evidence package; without an accurate and comprehensive SSP, certification is impossible. Rather than relying on generic templates, we meticulously draft an SSP that reflects the unique operational realities of your specific business environment.

Our team collaborates closely with your internal staff to document your network architecture, physical security perimeters, and data handling procedures. We write clear, control-by-control narratives that explain exactly how your organization satisfies each NIST requirement. If you utilize a secure cloud enclave like Microsoft 365 GCC High, we explicitly detail its configuration, administrative access constraints, and data sovereignty boundaries within the document.

For controls that are not yet fully implemented, we seamlessly integrate them into a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M). This ensures your SSP remains a living, compliant document that acknowledges current gaps while defining realistic, time-bound objectives for achieving full compliance before your third-party assessment.

CMMC Audit Assessment Preparation

Audit Assessment Preparation

Mock Audits & Evidence Gathering

Facing a third-party CMMC assessment can be stressful, but preparation eliminates the surprises. We walk your team through rigorous mock assessments, evaluating your controls exactly as a Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO) would, ensuring your body of evidence is rock-solid and ready.

Facing an official assessment by a Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO) can be a high-stakes scenario. To eliminate surprises and reduce anxiety, we conduct rigorous mock audits designed to replicate the exact conditions, scrutiny, and pressure of a formal CMMC assessment. We evaluate your network not just as your IT provider, but through the strict, objective lens of a federal auditor.

A significant portion of passing a CMMC audit relies on having solid "Objective Evidence." We work alongside your team to gather, organize, and verify the artifacts required to prove your compliance. This includes compiling system logs, access control matrices, employee training records, and configuration screenshots, ensuring that every claim made in your SSP is backed by undeniable proof.

Beyond the technology, we also prepare your personnel. Auditors will conduct interviews with your staff to verify that your documented security policies are actually practiced day-to-day. We conduct interview prep sessions to train your team on how to answer auditor questions accurately and concisely, preventing accidental "scope creep" and ensuring your team projects confidence and competence.

CMMC Continuous Business Support

Continuous Business Support

Pre and Post-Certification

Compliance is a continuous operational state. We stand by our clients long after the initial assessment. We help manage your POA&M pre-audit and provide ongoing IT monitoring, maintenance, and support post-certification to ensure your environment remains compliant as your business scales.

Achieving CMMC certification is a significant milestone, but compliance is a continuous operational state, not a one-time project. The cybersecurity threat landscape is constantly evolving, as are Department of Defense regulations. Maintaining your certification requires ongoing vigilance, regular updates, and strict adherence to the policies established in your SSP.

Post-certification, Ostremo provides continuous, managed IT support tailored to defense contractors. We actively monitor your network and GCC High environment for security anomalies, manage your Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platforms, and ensure that routine software patches do not inadvertently break your compliance posture. If an incident does occur, our team is immediately ready to execute the documented incident response plan.

Furthermore, as your business grows, your compliance boundary will shift. Whether you are opening a new office, purchasing new fleet printers, or onboarding new employees, we help you manage the lifecycle of your IT assets securely. We also assist with your mandatory annual self-assessments, ensuring your SSP and overall security posture remain aligned with CMMC requirements year after year.
