Managed IT & CMMC Compliance for Government & Defense Contractors
CMA supports federal and defense contractors across the DC region — engineering firms, software companies, and professional services firms that hold contracts with DoD and civilian agencies. We build and run environments that meet NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC requirements, so you can bid, win, and keep the work.
We serve the contractor community, not government offices themselves. That focus matters: we understand CUI, flow-down clauses, and what an assessor will actually ask to see.
Level 1 and Level 2 readiness, implementation, and ongoing maintenance.
Microsoft 365 GCC High migrations and administration for CUI and ITAR workloads.
Control implementation, SSP and POA&M documentation, SPRS scoring support.
Maryland datacenter for co-location and hosting of sensitive workloads.
What Keeps Leaders Up at Night
CMMC Deadlines
CMMC requirements are now appearing in solicitations. Contractors without a documented, implemented program risk losing eligibility.
Controlled Unclassified Information
CUI must be identified, marked, stored, and transmitted only in compliant systems — commercial Microsoft 365 alone usually isn’t enough.
Flow-Down From Primes
Primes are pushing security requirements to subcontractors and asking for evidence, not promises.
SPRS Scores
An honest SPRS score with a realistic POA&M is a competitive asset. A guessed one is a liability.
Cleared & Remote Staff
Engineers on customer sites, remote analysts, and travel all need secure access to the same controlled environment.
Incident Reporting
DFARS 7012 gives you 72 hours to report a cyber incident. You need monitoring that notices and a plan that’s ready.

Questions We Hear From Gov & Defense Contractors
Do you work with government agencies directly?
No — we specialize in supporting government and defense contractors, not government offices. That means our environments, policies, and documentation are built around contractor obligations such as DFARS 7012, NIST 800-171, and CMMC.
Do we really need GCC High?
It depends on the data. Export-controlled (ITAR) data and some CUI categories require GCC High; other contractors can meet 800-171 in commercial Microsoft 365 with the right configuration. We assess your contracts and data flows before recommending either path.
Can you get us ready for a CMMC Level 2 assessment?
Yes. We perform the gap assessment, implement controls, write the SSP and POA&M, collect evidence, and support you through the C3PAO assessment. Ongoing management keeps the program current afterward.
What does CMMC/GCC High support cost?
It’s an add-on to our managed IT plans, priced by the number of users inside the CUI boundary. See the Pricing page for how add-ons work, and book a consultation for a scoped quote.
Have a Solicitation With CMMC Language?
Book a consultation and we’ll tell you where you stand against 800-171, what GCC High would involve, and a realistic timeline to assessment readiness.
