Cybersecurity & CMMC Support for Government Contractors
If you hold DoD contracts, cybersecurity is now a requirement to win and keep work. cAIberOps helps government contractors across Northern Virginia, Washington D.C., and Maryland put the managed security controls behind CMMC 2.0 and NIST 800-171 in place — so you can protect controlled data and stay eligible to bid.
CMMC is here, and the clock is running
Since November 10, 2025, the DoD's CMMC program is live. Defense solicitations now carry CMMC requirements, and your CMMC status determines whether you can win the contract.
Starting November 10, 2026, contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must pass a third-party CMMC Level 2 assessment by a certified assessor (C3PAO) — not just a self-assessment.
The bar is high and the field is behind: CMMC Level 2 requires all 110 NIST SP 800-171 security practices, and as of early 2026 fewer than 1,000 of the roughly 80,000 firms that need it had certified. Starting now is no longer optional.
No CMMC status, no award. Your score must be filed in the DoD's SPRS system, with an annual affirmation that you still comply.
What CMMC and NIST 800-171 require
Level 1 (FCI): Contractors handling Federal Contract Information must meet 15 basic safeguards with an annual self-assessment.
Level 2 (CUI): Contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information must implement all 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices — covering access control, multi-factor authentication, monitoring, incident response, and security awareness training — and, from late 2026, pass a third-party assessment.
Ongoing proof: a current score in SPRS, a System Security Plan (SSP), a Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M), and annual affirmation of continued compliance.
How cAIberOps Protects Your Firm
Email Security
Email is the #1 attack vector against contractors. AI-driven phishing and account-takeover defense (powered by Check Point Harmony) supports the system and information integrity practices behind NIST 800-171
Endpoint Protection & Response (EDR/MDR)
Behavior-based malware and ransomware defense with continuous monitoring on every device, supporting the system-monitoring and malicious-code practices CMMC requires.
24/7 Threat Monitoring & Incident Response
Continuous monitoring, quarantine management, and rapid response, directly supporting the incident-response and audit practices of NIST 800-171.
Dark Web Monitoring
We continuously scan dark web marketplaces and breach data for your firm's leaked credentials, so stolen logins are reset before attackers reach controlled data.
Security Awareness Training & Phishing Simulation
Required by NIST 800-171 — we run ongoing security awareness training and simulated phishing so your team meets the awareness-and-training practices and can spot real attacks.
