Achieve and maintain compliance with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 requirements. We help defense contractors implement all 110 NIST SP 800-171 security controls to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a unified standard developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) for implementing cybersecurity across the defense industrial base (DIB).
CMMC ensures that defense contractors and subcontractors adequately protect sensitive unclassified information, specifically Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Federal Contract Information (FCI).
CMMC Level 2 requires compliance with all 110 security controls from NIST Special Publication 800-171, representing a comprehensive security program for protecting CUI.
CMMC applies to all DoD contractors and subcontractors, regardless of size, that handle FCI or CUI:
CMMC Level 2 aligns with NIST SP 800-171 and organizes the 110 security controls into 14 families. Here's how Nexum Dynamics helps you achieve compliance in each domain.
Limiting system access to authorized users, processes, and devices, and controlling access to functions and information.
Ensuring personnel are aware of security risks and trained on policies and procedures.
Creating, protecting, and retaining audit records to enable monitoring, analysis, and reporting.
Establishing and maintaining baseline configurations and inventories of systems throughout their lifecycles.
Identifying and authenticating users, processes, and devices before allowing access to systems.
Establishing operational incident handling capabilities including preparation, detection, analysis, and recovery.
Performing timely maintenance on organizational systems and providing controls on maintenance tools and personnel.
Protecting system media containing CUI, limiting access, and sanitizing or destroying media before disposal.
Limiting physical access to systems, equipment, and operating environments to authorized individuals.
Screening individuals prior to access and ensuring CUI protection during personnel actions like terminations.
Assessing risk to operations, assets, and individuals from system operation and CUI processing.
Periodically assessing security controls, developing remediation plans, and monitoring security posture.
Monitoring and protecting communications at system boundaries and implementing architectural security designs.
Identifying, reporting, and correcting system flaws and protecting against malicious code.
Achieving CMMC Level 2 compliance requires a strategic, phased approach. Our proven methodology ensures efficient implementation while minimizing disruption to your operations.

Assessment requirements differ based on whether your CUI data is considered critical to national security.
For contractors handling CUI that is not critical to national security, an annual self-assessment is required.
For contractors with prioritized acquisitions handling data critical to national security, C3PAO certification is required.
The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) score reflects your compliance with NIST SP 800-171 controls. A perfect score is 110, with point deductions for unimplemented controls.
Controls are weighted by criticality: 5-point controls address fundamental security capabilities, 3-point controls represent significant functions, and 1-point controls are supporting.
For conditional certification, you need a minimum score of 80 (88 or higher recommended). We help you prioritize remediation based on point values and mission impact.
CMMC compliance requires comprehensive documentation. We help you develop and maintain all required artifacts.
Comprehensive document describing your security controls implementation and system boundaries.
POA&M documenting security gaps, remediation plans, and target completion dates.
Documented policies for each control family establishing organizational requirements.
Organized collection of screenshots, logs, and records demonstrating control implementation.
