CMMC compliance takes time and expertise. Explore our resources to learn more, find expert guidance, and achieve compliance.
The CMMC Partner Assurance Network (CPAN), developed and led by Coalfire Federal, connects Department of War contractors with vetted providers across readiness, certification, and sustainment.
Developed and led by Coalfire Federal, CPAN connects Department of War contractors with partners that provide flexible, right-sized, end-to-end solutions from readiness and implementation to certification support and ongoing compliance.
CPAN supports defense contractors at every stage of the CMMC Level 2 lifecycle.
CPAN Is Built For:
CMMC efforts often slow down or break down due to misalignment across providers, unclear roles, and gaps between readiness and assessment. CPAN brings structure to that process by aligning partners, expectations, and execution from the start. The result is a more predictable path to certification, with fewer surprises and less rework along the way.
Built around how assessments are actually conducted. What you build holds up when it matters.
Defined partner roles with no conflict of interest. No confusion, no rework.
Aligned from readiness through certification and beyond. No reset between phases.
Built by Coalfire Federal with direct insight into how certification is evaluated
Partners selected based on CMMC alignment and delivery credibility
Supports readiness, certification, and sustainment
Maintains separation between advisory and assessment services
Partners operate with a shared understanding of what assessors require
In this session, leaders from across the CPAN ecosystem will break down what a coordinated partner strategy looks like in practice. You’ll hear directly from advisory, technical, and assessment experts on how to avoid misalignment, reduce rework, and move through the CMMC lifecycle with confidence.

Partners are vetted based on CMMC expertise, alignment to assessment expectations, and their ability to deliver within a defined role.
CPAN helps align providers to your specific stage, whether you are preparing for certification, entering assessment, or planning for recertification.
Each partner operates within a clearly defined role, maintaining required independence while aligning to a shared understanding of assessment expectations.
CPAN connects readiness, certification, and sustainment into a continuous path, so progress carries forward instead of resetting at each phase.
Not necessarily. CPAN can complement your current approach or help you identify gaps where additional alignment is needed.
CPAN supports ongoing compliance and recertification by maintaining continuity with partners who understand your environment and prior assessment.
Access vetted partners, align your approach, and move forward with confidence.
