Protect sensitive business information, prepare for customer security requirements, and give your team a practical path forward.
CMMC readiness, Microsoft 365 GCC High and Azure Government enclaves, RMF/ATO support, and NIST SSDF secure software services—built around scoped controls, working safeguards and current evidence.
Start with the customer requirement, the work you need to protect, and the deadline. We’ll help define the next step.
SOS CYBERSECURITY BRIEFING
Relevant updates on CMMC, C3PAO, DFARS, NIST/CUI, RMF/ATO and secure software. Research refreshes every 8 hours.
Latest available briefings · Dates are shown on each item.
NIST published SP 1352 to introduce small businesses to assessment concepts and preparation under SP 800-171A Revision 3. The primer is aimed at people managing implementation or preparing for an assessment.
In its July statement about the announced Phase II suspension, The Cyber AB said C3PAO Level 2 assessments and other ecosystem services remained available. This is a dated program update, not a claim about today’s contract requirements.

Start with one workstream. Connect the full lifecycle when your program needs it.
Know your boundary, validate your implementation and organize evidence for Level 2 self-assessment and SPRS. Engage our C3PAO offering when independent assessment is required.
Use GCC High, Azure Government and AVD isolation to protect CUI workflows. IaC supports repeatable deployment and controlled growth.
Bring scoped cybersecurity expertise to SCADA and specialized assets, connecting implementation to RMF / ATO and continuing evidence.
AFTER THE FIRST MILESTONE
Make responsibilities clear, keep important information current, and follow up on the work that still needs attention.
Explore ongoing security coordination →Beyond the first milestone
Systems change. Your compliance program should move with them—connecting technical signals, accountable owners and reviewable work.
Explore coordinated compliance delivery ↗DIBCAC-validated environment experience. Validation is specific to the assessed environment, scope and date. Assessment and implementation roles preserve independence.
Connect live telemetry to control status, POA&M actions and current evidence, including Continuous Authorization / Continuous RMF.
Make responsibilities clear and keep policies, risks, implementation narratives and evidence aligned with the boundary.
Strengthen how your team prepares, protects, produces and responds across the software lifecycle.
