What to Look for in a Real CMMC Solution

What Is a CMMC Solution?

A CMMC solution refers to the combination of tools, services, and platforms that help defense contractors meet the requirements of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework — especially when handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

❌ Some vendors only offer checklists or generic software.
✅ A true solution includes secure infrastructure, compliance advisory, and ongoing monitoring.

Why CMMC Solutions Matter More Than Ever

With the CMMC Final Rule and DFARS 7021 taking effect, any contractor handling CUI will need to meet CMMC Level 2 to stay eligible for DoD contracts.

That means:

  • You must implement all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls
  • You’ll likely face a third-party assessment by an authorized C3PAO
  • You’ll need ongoing monitoring and accurate documentation

⚠️ Many companies claim to be CMMC solutions but lack a compliant environment or the ability to pass a real assessment.

What Should a CMMC Solution Include?

Types of CMMC Solutions Compared

External Service Provider (ESP) Models

Solution Type

Description

Common Gaps

MSSP

Security monitoring & response

May lack direct CMMC experience

MSP

General IT services

Not focused on CUI or compliance

CSP (like Cuick Trac)

Secure cloud enclave + compliance support

✅ All-in-one but uncommon in the market

Software Tools

Self-service automation & checklists

No environment or audit support

🧠 Other ESPs include collaboration/file-sharing platforms — often marketed as solutions but lack CMMC-specific controls.
