Quatronics supports organizations throughout the CMMC journey, from early planning and scoping through assessment readiness. We help define CMMC boundaries, interpret and implement NIST SP 800-171 controls, develop required documentation (including SSPs, policies, and procedures), and validate implementation through assessor-led readiness reviews and mock assessments. When you are ready for certification, we help you understand what to expect from an independent C3PAO assessment and ensure your organization is properly prepared.

Preparation time varies based on scope, system complexity, and existing security maturity. For most small to mid-sized organizations, preparation typically ranges from several months to over a year. Quatronics helps establish a realistic timeline based on your current state, contractual drivers, and risk tolerance.

Yes. Quatronics offers mock CMMC Level 2 assessments that closely simulate an official assessment without the risk of a real audit. Mock assessments are led by an experienced, certified assessor and include a review of your SSP, documentation, technical controls, and interviews with key personnel. You receive a clear readiness report identifying gaps, risk areas, and prioritized remediation actions to help you prepare for an independent C3PAO assessment.

A mock assessment simulates an official CMMC Level 2 assessment without the consequences of a real audit. It includes a structured review of your System Security Plan (SSP), policies and procedures, technical controls, and objective evidence, along with interviews of key personnel. Findings are documented to show where gaps exist and how assessors are likely to interpret your implementation.

Quatronics primarily works with organizations in the U.S. Defense Industrial Base (DIB), including prime contractors and subcontractors that handle or may handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). This includes manufacturers, engineering firms, software and IT providers, professional services firms, and specialty suppliers supporting DoD programs. We also work with organizations adjacent to the DIB—such as external service providers (MSPs, MSSPs, and cloud service users)—that must align with CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 requirements due to contractual or flow-down obligations.

Quatronics maintains clear separation between advisory services and formal CMMC assessments. We support preparation, readiness reviews, and mock assessments, while official certifications are performed by independent C3PAOs. This approach ensures assessor independence and aligns with CMMC conflict-of-interest requirements.

Yes. Many organizations reduce cost and complexity by using a CMMC enclave to isolate CUI from the rest of the business. Quatronics helps determine whether an enclave is appropriate, define boundaries, and ensure the approach is technically and procedurally defensible during an assessment.

CMMC is a business decision, not just a compliance exercise. For organizations that rely on DoD contracts or expect to handle CUI in the future, CMMC may be necessary to remain eligible and competitive. For others, the cost, operational impact, and long-term obligations may outweigh the benefit. Quatronics helps leadership evaluate CMMC in the context of contract requirements, revenue risk, and strategic goals so an informed decision can be made.
