Secure Enclaves

Passing a third-party assessment like the CMMC Level 2 Assessment requires implementation of a well-designed enterprise architecture when the assessment scope is the full enterprise. However, the extremely popular option is to reduce your assessment scope as much as possible. The benefit is lowering the investment, and lowering your cost of an assessment. The Assessment Scope drives the price of the assessment.

Document Library

There is a large amount of documentation to prepare and maintain to be able to pass a CMMC Level 2 assessment. There are your System Security Plan, policies, documented procedures, forms, logs, screenshots as evidence, and more. There is no need to start from scratch. KNC has an extensive library of living documents that we use for ourselves and for our CMMC assessment preparation clients. These are way beyond templates. And, we customize them to you.

Managed Services

One of the most important partners you will have to help you pass a CMMC Level 2 assessment is your External Services Provider (ESP) as we call them in CMMC. These are your Managed Services Providers and Managed Security Services Providers. Almost every small subcontractor we work with outsources their IT management. These ESPs will have to be involved during your assessment. They have to understand CMMC, and have a documented Shared Responsibility Matrix that documents at the assessment objective level what they provide for the client, and if an assessment objective is shared or can be fully inherited. We have a great managed services program  to support an Organization Seeking Certification (OSC) prepare for and pass their CMMC Level 2 assessment.

Solving for CMMC

Implementing a solution for subcontractors that works for the smallest one-person shop, and scales up easily for small to medium  subcontractors is very difficult. A solution that is affordable, viable, and will pass an assessment requires a mix of hardware, consulting, services, and products that are suitable for small subcontractors. At KNC, we work with many clients that utilize hundreds of small vendors to help them create and sell their products to the Prime, and ultimately to the Department of Defense agency that the project is for. From the smallest custom metal machining of a very precise item, to all of the other trades that make up the Defense Industrial Base.

Custom Solutions 

We help you implement the right solutions for your needs. We do not force a particular product or solution. We work with and represent all of the top vendors and products.

Affordable Packages

The largest challenge for securing the entire supply chain is the innumerous tier levels from a prime down to the myriad of subcontractors and their subcontractors. The smallest subcontractor has to meet all of the same requirements as a large prime. Having affordable solutions, in our opinion, is critical to securing the Defense Industrial Base.

Having trusted advisor and strategic partner that can help you navigate the craziness that is the entire CMMC Level 2 preparation and passing an assessment.
