CASE STUDY:
Making CMMC Attainable for Small Defense Contractors
BRIEF:
A small Department of Defense contractor had received notice that CMMC compliance would soon be a contractual requirement, but had no internal resources, planning, or experience with the framework. They were unsure where to begin.
ROLE OF MAX2:
Max² was brought in to guide the contractor through a full CMMC readiness process—from initial awareness to confident attestation—with minimal disruption to business operations.
WHAT WAS DELIVERED?
Delivered a phased compliance program: (1) CMMC Level 1 gap assessment, (2) tailored remediation planning and implementation support, (3) documentation and training, (4) self-attestation guidance, followed by (5) preparation for CMMC Level 2 including control integration and C-3PAO readiness.
OUTCOME:
The contractor gained a clear, achievable roadmap to compliance, implemented appropriate technical and procedural safeguards, and was able to meet both Level 1 and Level 2 requirements—ultimately securing contract eligibility and improving security maturity.
