NIST SP 800-171
The control set for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in non-federal systems. Foundation for most defense industrial base obligations.
We deliver intelligent, context-aware insights across cybersecurity, risk, and threat intelligence. Engagements align with globally recognized frameworks and zero-trust principles, and we deliver under CMMC Level 2 controls with US-citizen-only personnel for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information.

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. We deliver readiness work as Registered Practitioners (RPs) on staff. Not C3PAO assessors; deliberately so.
International information security management standard. The control framework many commercial enterprises adopt to demonstrate security maturity.
Never trust, always verify. We help operationalize zero-trust patterns, identity-based access, network microsegmentation, continuous validation, into existing environments without forklift replacement.
Threat modeling, asset valuation, vulnerability identification, and risk register. The honest picture of where you are before deciding what to spend.
Your existing controls mapped to the required framework (NIST 800-171, CMMC, ISO 27001). What you cover, what you partially cover, what you do not.
Written information security policies and supporting procedures, scoped to your business, aligned to the framework. Not generic templates.
System Security Plan describing your environment. Plan of Action and Milestones for remediation. Audit-ready, refreshed as the environment changes.
Incident scenarios walked through with your team. Reveals procedural gaps before a real incident does.
For CMMC assessments, ISO certifications, customer security reviews, the documentation, the evidence, the practiced answers. Not the assessment itself; the readiness to face it.
Security travels with Privacy (data classification, access controls) and Legal (regulatory obligations, contractual flow-downs). Healthcare engagements always involve security work; HIPAA Security Rule sits inside the broader cybersecurity context.
Yes. CMMC Registered Practitioners (RPs) on staff. We perform readiness work, control mapping, policy and procedure development, gap remediation, and assessment preparation for organizations pursuing CMMC L1 or L2. We are deliberately not C3PAO assessors; that separation keeps our advice and the eventual assessment independent.
110 controls across 14 families. We do the documentation, the policy work, the gap closure planning, and we coordinate with your IT team or MSP on the technical implementation. We do not do hands-on system administration; we work alongside the people who do.
For organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information that requires US-citizen-only access, the SOPIQ personnel on those engagements are all US citizens. We confirm this in writing as part of the engagement scope.
Both. We frequently subcontract to primes serving DoD and federal customers, and we deliver direct engagements to commercial customers. WOSB certification and SAM.gov registration support both arrangements.
We are operations and compliance consultants, not an MSP. We work alongside your MSP (or recommend one if you are looking) and handle the documentation, policy, and process work that MSPs typically do not.
The discovery conversation takes 30 to 60 minutes. We respond within one business day.
