CMMC

CMMC 2.0 (Level 2/3)

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification

Mandatory for DoD contractors handling CUI. Level 2 requires alignment with all 110 NIST 800-171 controls.

"Turning Compliance from a Contract Barrier into a Competitive Advantage"

Value Proposition: Why Choose AdVran for CMMC?

As of November 10, 2026, the “trust but verify” era is over. With CMMC Phase 2 now active, self-attestation is no longer enough for contractors handling CUI. You need a partner who doesn’t just manage your IT, but serves as a Security Protection Asset (SPA) within your audit scope.

1. Audit-Ready Evidence, Not Just “Good IT”

Most MSPs give you logs; we give you artifacts. We provide a centralized GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) platform that automates evidence collection for all 110 NIST 800-171 controls. When a C3PAO auditor walks in, your documentation—from System Security Plans (SSP) to Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&M)—is already timestamped and ready.

2. We Walk the Walk (MSP Compliance)

Under CMMC 2.0, your compliance is only as strong as your provider’s. If your MSP touches your CUI environment, they are in scope for your audit. We maintain a high-security posture aligned with Level 2 standards, ensuring our internal tools and remote access protocols don’t become your biggest audit finding.

3. Sovereignty & Data Residency

We understand the stakes of ITAR and DFARS. Our support teams are US-based, and our cloud architectures utilize FedRAMP Moderate/High environments (like Azure Government or AWS GovCloud). We ensure your data never leaves US soil and stays out of reach of unauthorized foreign nationals.

4. Proactive Threat Hunting (MDR/SOC)

Compliance is a snapshot; security is 24/7. Our MSSP division provides Managed Detection and Response (MDR) specifically tuned for the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). We don’t just check boxes; we monitor for the advanced persistent threats (APTs) that specifically target defense contractors.

5. Shared Responsibility, Not Shifted Blame

We provide a clear Shared Responsibility Matrix (SRM). You’ll know exactly which 110 controls we manage, which you own, and where we collaborate. This transparency eliminates “grey areas” and ensures a seamless, successful certification journey.
