CMMC Readiness and Implementation Support

CMMC readiness built for real-world compliance

CMMC is more than just another certification - it’s the key to doing business with the Department of Defense. At Hive Systems, and our CMMC focused division - Hive Systems Defense Solutions, we help defense contractors navigate CMMC requirements with confidence. Our CMMC readiness assessments are designed to uncover gaps, reduce your cybersecurity risk, and prepare you for certification at the level your contracts require.

Whether you’re bidding on a new RFP or facing an upcoming assessment, we work as your cybersecurity partner to ensure you’re fully aligned with NIST SP 800-171, the foundation of CMMC 2.0. Our approach isn’t about generating reports - it’s about delivering outcomes.

Built for federal contractors, not checklists

Many assessment providers simply mirror the CMMC framework and check boxes along the way. We go further. Our readiness assessments are conducted by cybersecurity experts who understand what your C3PAO assessors look for and how to interpret requirements in the context of your business.

We provide:

  • A full gap analysis against all required CMMC practices and controls

  • Validation of existing cybersecurity policies, procedures, and technologies

  • Prioritized remediation guidance based on risk and cost-benefit

  • A clear roadmap to prepare for a C3PAO certification audit

Whether you’re targeting Level 1 or Level 2 compliance, we scale the assessment to match the sensitivity of your data and your strategic goals.

Aligning cybersecurity with mission-critical outcomes

Hive Systems supports contractors across aerospace, defense manufacturing, IT services, logistics, and beyond. Our team brings deep experience in federal cybersecurity expectations, so we tailor every assessment to your operational environment, existing maturity, and government-facing risk.

We help align your cybersecurity investments with your business mission:

  • Avoid bid disqualifications due to compliance gaps

  • Improve supplier trust and competitive positioning

  • Prove due diligence in protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)

  • Strengthen your audit trail and documentation

Our goal is not just to help you meet compliance - it’s to make your cybersecurity posture a competitive advantage.

Expert guidance that goes beyond the assessment

The CMMC landscape is evolving rapidly. With Hive Systems, you gain a cybersecurity partner who stays on top of regulation changes, guides you through documentation, and helps build a defensible approach to compliance.

We also offer:

  • Support with policy and SSP development (check out our free SSP template to get you started)

  • Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) creation

  • Technical implementation reviews

  • Internal audit preparation and tabletop exercises

From pre-audit planning to post-remediation validation, we walk with you through every step of the process.
