No. 01 — The Stakes

CMMC readiness is becoming a contract requirement, not an IT side project.

Updated · Q2 2026
EligibilityDoD · Prime & Sub

Contract eligibility depends on demonstrable readiness.

DoD prime and subcontracting opportunities increasingly require contractors to show that CMMC Level 2 controls are implemented and documented, not just planned.

DocumentationSSP · POA&M

Documentation must match the controls you actually operate.

An SSP that does not reflect your real boundaries, systems, and procedures will not survive an assessment, and may not satisfy a flow-down requirement from your prime.

RemediationTime & Cost

Remediation takes time when gaps surface late.

Closing technical and procedural gaps under contract deadlines is more expensive, more disruptive, and more likely to delay award.

No. 02 — Services

Four engagements that move you from current state to assessment-ready.

Engagement length · varies by scope
No. 03 — How it Works

A clear path from gap assessment
to assessment-ready.

Four phases · 12–36 weeks typical
Step 01

Gap Assessment

We review your current environment, scope, and documentation against CMMC Level 2 expectations.

OutputGap findings and readiness score
Step 02

SSP & POA&M

We draft or refine your System Security Plan and structure your Plan of Action & Milestones.

Step 03

Remediation

We prioritize the gaps that matter and guide closure of the technical and procedural items.

Assessment Support

No. 04 — Why DBIT

A readiness partner that meets contracts, leadership, and IT where they are.

South Florida · IT & Compliance
i.

South Florida local, and responsive.

On the ground in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade. Site visits and stakeholder workshops when they matter, not just calendar invites.

ii.

IT operations and compliance, under one roof.

Readiness rarely fails on paperwork alone. We bring practitioners who understand both how the documentation should read and how the controls actually run.

iii.

Practical remediation, not a binder of findings.

A gap report is the easy part. We translate findings into a prioritized backlog your team can actually work, with clear owners and sequencing.

iv.

One language for leadership, contracts, and IT.

Executives, contracts officers, and engineers each need a different view of the same readiness picture. We produce all three from a single source of truth.

No. 05 — Framework

Built around the documents assessors and contractors actually rely on.

NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2

Scope & Boundary

Define systems, users, CUI flows, and assessment scope before assumptions become findings.

System Security Plan

Document implemented controls in language that matches operations, not a generic template.

Plan of Action & Milestones

Track gaps, owners, priorities, and remediation dates in a format assessors expect to see.

No. 06 — FAQ

Questions defense contractors usually ask us first.

Common Q · Plain answers
It depends on current maturity, the scope of in-scope systems, the quality of existing documentation, and how many remediation items surface during the gap assessment. We size each engagement after an initial scoping conversation rather than committing to a fixed timeline up front.
Environment complexity, the number of systems and users in scope, the breadth of CUI handling, the state of existing documentation, and the volume of remediation needed. We share a clear scope and pricing model after the readiness assessment.
No. DBIT Defense provides readiness and preparation work: gap assessments, SSP and POA&M development, remediation support, and assessment preparation. Formal CMMC Level 2 assessments are conducted by authorized C3PAOs where required.
A System Security Plan documents the system boundary, the environment that supports it, and how each required control is implemented. It is the central artifact assessors review and the document your team should be able to walk through end to end.
A Plan of Action and Milestones tracks identified gaps, the owner of each gap, the remediation steps in motion, and the target completion date. It is how an organization shows that known issues are managed rather than ignored.
Yes. The gap assessment is the starting point. We continue with SSP and POA&M development, prioritized remediation support, and preparation for the formal assessment process.
