The video linked below was created to give you an inside look at a CMMC compliance program that’s already working for manufacturing companies. Whether you’re an owner, investor, customer, employee, or part of a partner shop, we wanted to share what we’ve built—and why it matters now more than ever.

Over the last 18 months, we’ve worked closely with manufacturing companies, compliance providers, and security experts to answer one key question: What’s the fastest, most cost-effective way to meet CMMC requirements without disrupting daily operations or spending hundreds of thousands of dollars?
We now believe we have a model that works.
This approach is tailored specifically for small to mid-sized manufacturers who need to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) to win Department of Defense contracts. It’s built around a few key principles:
- Use of a secure, outsourced enclave that immediately satisfies 80% of the 110 CMMC controls—removing much of the cost and complexity
- Smart use of USB-based data transfers to isolate CNC machines and engineering computers without compromising workflow or security
- A phased rollout strategy that engages leadership and shop floor teams early to ensure buy-in and behavior change
- Shared policy frameworks that are adapted by each company to fit their unique environment, without starting from scratch
- A collaborative cohort model, where multiple companies move through the process together, sharing insights and templates to reduce effort and increase success
This is not a theoretical framework. It is working, today, for manufacturers across the United States. It enables you to stay competitive, protect our national secrets, and pursue DoD contracts with confidence—without overhauling your operations.
We believe this is the best solution available today for small and mid-sized shops looking to become CMMC compliant. But we’re always improving. If you see a better way, we want to hear it.
