A Full-Time CISO costs $200K+ annually. Most SMBs can't justify a full-time security hire. But leaving compliance to chance risks everything you are building, including your contracts and your reputation.
CMMC is overwhelmingly comlex. 110 controls, multiple maturity levels, NIST 800-171 mappings and more. Most small business owners don't know where to start and one-time consultants disappear after the audit.
Non-Compliance means losing contracts. Prime contractors are increasingly requiring CMMC certification from their subs. Being unready doesn't just create legal exposure. It can ultimately cost you revenue.

Identify gaps in your current compliance and security posture.
Develop a tailored plan to achieve full compliance efficiently.
Receive ongoing support to maintain compliance and security.

🔒 Your information is never shared. We’ll reach out to schedule your assessment.
A one-time consultant delivers a report and disappears. A fractional CISO is an ongoing member of your team — executing on recommendations, monitoring your compliance posture, and available when you need them. It's the difference between a diagnosis and actual treatment.
Level 1 covers basic cyber hygiene — 17 practices focused on protecting Federal Contract Information (FCI). Level 2 is more rigorous, covering 110 practices aligned with NIST 800-171, and is required for companies handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Most DOD subcontractors fall under Level 2.
Engagements vary based on company size and scope, but most SMB clients invest significantly less than 20% of what a full-time CISO would cost. We scope pricing after your free assessment so there are never any surprises.
It depends on your starting point. Some clients reach Level 1 compliance in as little as 30 days. Level 2 certification typically takes 6 – 18 months depending on gaps identified. We'll give you a realistic timeline after your assessment.
Increasingly, yes. CMMC frameworks are being adopted beyond DOD, and many civilian agencies and prime contractors require similar standards. Additionally, a Fractional CISO provides value well beyond compliance — including data security, vendor risk management, and breach response planning.
