CMMC 2.0 Compliance for DoD Contractors
BLACKSAND guides defense contractors and DoD supply chain companies from gap assessment through C3PAO assessment readiness — keeping your contracts and winning new ones.
CMMC compliance, built around your contract
CMMC 2.0 is now a contract-keeping requirement for defense contractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Level 1 protects FCI; Level 2 aligns the 110 controls of NIST SP 800-171 and requires a C3PAO assessment for higher-value contracts. BLACKSAND maps your environment to the required maturity level, closes gaps, and prepares you for a clean assessment.
We do not hand you a checklist and walk away. Our practitioners rewrite your System Security Plan (SSP), build your Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), stand up CUI enclaves, and run a full mock assessment before your C3PAO visit — so there are no surprises on assessment day.

CMMC 2.0 Compliance FAQ
What is the difference between CMMC Level 1 and Level 2?+
CMMC Level 1 protects Federal Contract Information (FCI) and aligns to 17 basic safeguards. Level 2 protects Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and aligns to the 110 controls of NIST SP 800-171. Higher-value Level 2 contracts require a C3PAO assessment. BLACKSAND scopes your environment to the correct level and builds the evidence you need to pass.
How long does CMMC readiness take?+
Most defense contractors reach Level 2 readiness in 90 to 180 days, depending on the maturity of existing controls. BLACKSAND starts with a gap assessment, prioritizes remediation against your contract deadline, and runs a mock assessment before your C3PAO visit.
