CMMC Solutions

Steel Root Technology Platform

When you already have a compliance partner, the Platform will address CMMC’s technical requirements without the potential risks and delays of a custom solution.

We make CMMC compliance the foundation—and forefront—of your CMMC IT strategy

Conventional wisdom around how to get CMMC certification is pretty standard: Analyze the gap between where you are and where CMMC guidelines demand you be. But custom CMMC solutions lengthen timelines and introduce risk.

Our approach is different.

As your CMMC IT provider and a CMMC registered provider organization (RPO), we believe that assurance starts with a design built from the ground up with CMMC in mind.

That means that instead of retrofitting your current system (and hoping the duct tape doesn’t show!), the system we implement for you has been built, tested, and managed dozens of times. The result? An accelerated path to CMMC compliance with no nasty surprises.

The C3 Shared Responsibility Model

We've got CMMC IT assessment objectives covered

The 320 assessment objectives in NIST 800-171a that make up a CMMC Level 2 assessment can seem pretty daunting. No doubt that’s why you’ve already engaged with a compliance partner. But you’ll still need a strong IT partner to deliver a compliant IT environment.

The Steel Root Technology Platform takes all the Level 2 IT-related assessment objectives off your plate and puts it onto ours for your CMMC implementation. Our proven, prescriptive approach accelerates your compliance journey while limiting business disruption and reducing internal resource strain.

Remove uncertainty, risk, and unpleasant surprises by letting us take on 100% responsibility for CMMC’s IT objectives.
