Cybersecurity for Government Contractors
Contracting officers, primes and the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program ask the same question: can you show the controls? cAIberOps runs managed email, endpoint and AI security that supports NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC practices, and documents it monthly, for contractors who cannot staff a security team. Nationwide, including Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland.
What CMMC and NIST 800-171 ask about
The practices assessors and primes look for map directly to things a managed service can run and evidence. We support them; certification or self-assessment happens under the CMMC program, by a C3PAO where the level requires it; we are not an assessor.
Email and endpoint controls
Malicious code protection, email filtering, sandboxing of unknown files and endpoint detection and response are the controls commonly asked about in a questionnaire or a plan of action. The monthly report shows they ran.
Access and account hygiene
The 90-day posture report checks MFA and conditional access, admin and emergency accounts, external forwarding and sharing, and third-party app permissions on your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant.
Incident response evidence
When something gets through we investigate with no time cap and write it up. That record is what an assessor, a prime or your insurer wants to see after an event.
We run controls that support these frameworks and document what we did. We do not certify, audit, write your policies or guarantee compliance; that is your assessor's or counsel's role.
Government contractors we help
IT, software and cybersecurity contractors
You are asked for the same controls you sell. Managed email and endpoint protection with a monthly report lets you answer the questionnaire with evidence, not intentions.
Manufacturers and product suppliers in the defense industrial base
DFARS clauses flow down to the shop floor's office network. We cover the email and devices where controlled unclassified information actually travels; we do not touch OT or PLC networks.
Professional services, consulting and program-support firms
Staff on client sites, personal devices on client networks and shared mailboxes are where the exposure is. Endpoint protection follows the laptop; email protection follows the mailbox.
Engineering, research and systems integration firms
Design files, proposals and pricing move by email. Attachment cleaning, click-time link checks and account takeover detection protect the inbox that carries them.

Questions from government contractors
What size businesses do you work with?
Small and medium businesses and nonprofits, typically 10 to 500 employees, nationwide. Pricing is per user or per endpoint, so a 12-person firm and a 300-person firm pay the same rate.
Can cAIberOps certify us for CMMC?
No. We are not a C3PAO and do not perform assessments. We run and document controls that support NIST 800-171 and CMMC practices; assessment is done under the CMMC program, by a C3PAO where the level requires it.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. A simple yearly subscription with no onboarding fee and no multi-year contract.
Do you write our System Security Plan?
No. We give you the evidence for the controls we run, which your SSP author uses. We do not write compliance policies, WISPs or System Security Plans. The one policy we do write with you is the AI acceptable-use policy, as part of Managed AI Security, because we enforce it.
