CMMC & Compliance

CMMC readiness support for Maine defense contractors.

Translate CMMC and NIST requirements into practical technology, policy and operational work—then organize the evidence needed to demonstrate what is actually implemented.

August 2026 program note: DoW announced on July 13, 2026 that implementation remains paused in Phase I while a reform task force reviews the program. Current obligations still depend on contract language, DFARS requirements and applicable NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 assessments. Organizations should verify the specific requirements in each solicitation and contract.

Readiness is more than buying security tools

CMMC work often touches technical controls, policies, procedures, evidence, user behavior, asset scope, cloud architecture and business processes. Atlantec helps bring those workstreams together so the organization can understand what is implemented, what remains incomplete and what evidence supports each claim.

Scope & architecture

Identify systems, users, cloud services, networks and external providers that process, store or protect CUI.

Technical controls

Implement and tune identity, endpoint, logging, backup, access, configuration and other required safeguards.

Policies & procedures

Connect documented practices to the technology and operational processes employees actually use.

Evidence & assessment prep

Organize screenshots, configurations, logs, reports and records that demonstrate implementation.

Frequently asked questions

Questions buyers commonly ask.

Is CMMC still happening in 2026?

Yes, but implementation changed in July 2026. DoW announced that Phase II was suspended and that implementation remains paused in Phase I while the program is reviewed. Existing DFARS and NIST SP 800-171 obligations still matter, and contract-specific CMMC requirements must be evaluated carefully.

Does Atlantec perform CMMC certification assessments?

No. Atlantec provides readiness and implementation support. When an independent C3PAO assessment is required, the certification assessment must be performed by an authorized CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization.
