1st Defense CMMC is a specialized CMMC services organization focused on helping Defense Industrial Base companies prepare for and achieve CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 compliance.
Led by experienced Lead CMMC Certified Assessors (CCAs) who have participated in more than 50 CMMC assessments, our team provides practical guidance across the certification lifecycle. We understand how assessments are performed and help organizations translate CMMC requirements into clear documentation, architecture, and defensible evidence.
Our CMMC services include:
CMMC Readiness and Self Assessment Support
Support for organizations preparing for CMMC Level 1 and Level 2, including gap assessments, remediation strategy and implementation, documentation and evidence development, and mock assessments. These services help organizations understand their current posture and prepare their environment and evidence before entering a formal assessment.
Assessment Participation with Trusted C3PAOs
We help organizations identify and engage trusted C3PAOs to perform the official Level 2 certification assessment. With our Lead CCAs and CCAs having participated in over 100 assessments for more than 20 C3PAOs, we have insight into which C3PAOs are fair and provide market-aligned pricing. When possible, we request that our Lead CCAs and CCAs participate as part of the C3PAO assessment team. This allows organizations to work with assessors they have already met and trust to conduct a fair, consistent, and professional assessment while maintaining the independence required for certification.
CMMC Training for Leadership and Compliance Teams
We help organizations train their internal compliance, security, and GRC teams so they understand how CMMC assessments work and how to prepare their organization and evidence. As a subsidiary of Shadowscape, an Approved Training Provider for CCP and CCA, our Lead CCAs teach the courses using their vast assessment experience during the training. We also provide executive and group training sessions on demand.
We work closely with DoD contractors and suppliers across the defense industrial base and support organizations at every stage of the CMMC journey. Whether your team is preparing for an assessment, actively moving through the assessment process, or looking for experienced assessment support, we strive to be a trusted resource and long-term partner.
