The Compliance Landscape
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a standard for implementing cybersecurity to protect Controlled Unclassified Information for the Department of Defense (DoD). It is a requirement for all contractors to become compliant with CMMC in order to continue doing work for the DoD—which impacts over 300,000 companies in the supply chain. This requirement is the DoD's response to significant compromises of sensitive defense information through the contractors’ cyber vulnerability.

Your CMMC Partner
CMMC can be intimidating, and many companies don’t realize how far they are from compliance. Prescott acts as your guiding light in the preparation for your CMMC assessment and long after by governing your cybersecurity practice.
Our goal is to drive systemic change throughout organizations by motivating and mentoring personnel to operate within the standards of various regulations and compliance frameworks such as CMMC and ISO 27001/002. We strategize and facilitate processes to not only guide organizations along the path to becoming compliant, but to educate on how to conduct business securely while maintaining an acceptable level of risk aversion.

Common CMMC Questions
How do I know if my company needs CMMC certification?
You need CMMC if you handle Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for the Department of Defense.
This includes:
- Defense contractors and manufacturers with DoD contracts
- Aerospace and defense suppliers
- Subcontractors at any tier in the defense supply chain
Even if you're several tiers down as a subcontractor, prime contractors are now requiring CMMC certification to work with them.
Not sure if your contracts involve FCI or CUI? We can help you determine your requirements.
Is CMMC just a one-time certification?
No. CMMC requires ongoing maintenance:
Formal assessments:
- Level 1: Annual self-assessment
- Level 2: Third-party assessment every three years
Beyond assessments, maintaining compliance means:
- Continuously updating documentation
- Managing personnel changes
- Adapting to evolving requirements
This is why we focus on building sustainable practices and internal capability, not just helping you pass a single assessment.
Can we handle CMMC certification on our own?
Technically yes, but most organizations find it overwhelming.
The reality:
- Level 2 involves 110+ controls to implement
- Complex documentation requirements
- Constantly evolving regulatory landscape
- DIY attempts often result in failed assessments and wasted time
The challenge for mid-sized organizations (50-500 employees): You typically lack dedicated compliance teams and the bandwidth to master CMMC while running your business.
Our approach: We build your internal capability while providing expert guidance, so you're not dependent on us forever, but you don't face this alone.
