Who this is for

CISOs, IT directors, compliance officers, and program managers at defense contractors, prime/sub suppliers, and DIB companies subject to DFARS and CMMC requirements.

The stakes

What's at risk if your team isn't ready

Lost defense contracts when CMMC enforcement ramps

Primes are already requiring suppliers to show a CMMC pathway. "We're working on it" loses the next bid.

Failed C3PAO assessment

C3PAOs aren't ISO 9001 registrars. They're harder, more expensive, and rare. A failed assessment burns 6+ months and full reassessment fees.

Insufficient SSP and POA&M documentation

The two artifacts the assessor opens first. Generic templates fail. Your SSP has to reflect your actual environment and your POA&M has to reflect actual gap closure.

CUI handling violations from undertrained staff

One engineer emailing a CAD file to a personal Gmail account. One marked-up drawing in an unencrypted shared drive. One contract terminated.

The outcome

What your team becomes

After 30 days of rollout, here's what changes.

✓
NIST 800-171 control owners Each of the 14 control families has a named owner on your team who understands what assessment objectives look like and can produce the evidence.
✓
CMMC-assessment-ready Your team knows the difference between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 — and what evidence each requires. They've practiced the questions a C3PAO will ask.
✓
SSP and POA&M practitioners Your team builds and maintains the System Security Plan and Plan of Action & Milestones in your environment, not a templated copy.
✓
CUI-aware across the organization Engineers, program managers, sales, and finance all know what CUI is, how to handle it, and what triggers a reportable incident.
What's included

What's in this pathway

Every course includes role-profile onboarding, AI Workbench access, Manager Dashboard visibility, and Audit-Evidence Package export.

Pilot cohort

CMMC & NIST 800-171 (pilot cohort)

All 14 control families, gap assessment methodology, SSP development, POA&M management, C3PAO assessment preparation. Pilot cohort opens Q3 2026 — early-access pricing for first 5 buyers.

Pilot cohort

ISO 27001 ISMS (pilot cohort)

Risk assessment, Annex A controls, Statement of Applicability, certification audit preparation. For DoD suppliers also pursuing ISO 27001 for international defense work.

Pilot cohort

SOC 2 Compliance (pilot cohort)

Trust Services Criteria, control implementation, evidence collection, audit readiness. For SaaS vendors and service providers in the defense supply chain.

Pilot cohort

Data Privacy (pilot cohort)

GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, breach notification, data mapping. Foundational privacy practices for defense contractors handling international or commercial data alongside CUI.

The differentiator

The QMS Workbench, scoped to your standard.

Trained on NIST SP 800-171, CMMC Level 1/2/3 assessment guides, ISO 27001 Annex A, and DFARS clause flow-down requirements. Draft SSP sections. Build POA&M entries. Generate incident response runbooks. The AI compliance partner that knows defense cyber and CUI.

01

Method Router

Walks the team through the 10 most common compliance plays — root cause, CAPA, internal audit prep, supplier qualification, change control, deviation. Right method for the right problem.

02

Document Generation

SOPs, audit checklists, gap analyses, nonconformity reports — generated in your standard's voice, tailored to your facility, ready to put in front of an auditor.

03

Manager Dashboard

See who's completed what, where capability gaps are, and which standards each team member is fluent in. The visibility a quality leader actually needs.

04

Audit-Evidence Package

Single PDF export. Training records, completed scenarios, generated documents, time-stamped Workbench interactions. Hand it to the registrar. They accept it.

What teams say

Practitioners trained by a practitioner.

The root cause and corrective action training transformed how our team approaches problem-solving. We now have a structured, disciplined process across our operations.

Common questions

Before you book the demo.

Does this make us CMMC-certified?
No training does. CMMC certification comes from a C3PAO assessment. What this does is get your team ready for that assessment so you pass the first time.
Why pilot cohort instead of just buying it?
We're building this with the first 5 buyers as design partners. Lower price, direct input on what scenarios get included, faster iteration. Once we exit pilot the price goes up and the curriculum locks.
CMMC Level 2 or Level 3?
Pathway covers Level 1 and Level 2 in depth. Level 3 (the rarer high-bar tier) is covered conceptually with hooks for organization-specific scenarios. If you need Level 3 as a primary need, raise it on the demo.
What if our prime hasn't told us our required level yet?
Most suppliers are landing at Level 2. If your prime hasn't said yet, train to Level 2 — Level 1 is included, and Level 3 is a delta. Don't wait.

Try it before you buy.

Free 14-day pilot. 2 seats. Full Workbench access. No credit card required. If the fit isn't there, walk away — no calls, no follow-up, no obligation.
