CMMC Readiness

Preparing Defense Contractors to Meet CMMC

CMMC requirements will continue to change. Expectations around accountability, control effectiveness, and protection of controlled unclassified information will not.

NCX Group helps organizations approach CMMC as a readiness and cyber risk problem, not a one-time certification exercise.

CMMC Readiness Is About More Than Compliance

CMMC maps directly to core cyber risk domains, including identity and access management, data protection, incident response, recovery, and third-party risk. Treating these requirements as a documentation exercise creates exposure and uncertainty when audits, contract reviews, or incidents occur.

Readiness means understanding how controls operate in the real world, where gaps exist, and what must be addressed to reduce risk and meet expectations.

How NCX Group Approaches CMMC Readiness

NCX Group supports CMMC readiness through independent advisory and practical execution, grounded in real-world cyber risk experience.

Support commonly includes:

  • CMMC and NIST 800-171 readiness and gap assessments
  • Validation of control implementation and operating effectiveness
  • Risk-based remediation planning tied to contract and business impact
  • Executive guidance on scope, accountability, and sustainability

This work is designed to stand up to scrutiny from primes, auditors, and regulators, not just pass an assessment.

NCX Group Security is a thought leader in the cyber risk and security communities. I’ve had the great pleasure of getting to know the team at NCX Group over the past several years. NCX Group has built an excellent reputation helping companies deal with cybersecurity and related attacks.

I’m pleased to recommend NCX Group and MyCSO as it provides the structure that small and midsize businesses need today to develop an effective Cybersecurity Program.

From Readiness to Sustainable Compliance

CMMC is not static, and neither are the environments it governs. Controls must be implemented, maintained, and adapted over time.

For organizations that require ongoing support, CMMC readiness naturally extends into MyCSO Managed Security Services, where security and compliance controls are operationalized, monitored, and maintained as part of a broader cyber risk program.

The result is reduced audit stress, fewer surprises, and stronger alignment between security, compliance, and business operations.

How CMMC Readiness Fits Within NCX Group Services

CMMC readiness is supported through:

  • Cyber Risk Advisory Services, providing independent assessment and guidance
  • MyCSO Managed Security Services, supporting sustained control execution

CMMC is addressed as part of a broader cyber risk and security strategy, not as a standalone compliance engagement.

 

Chasing the latest revision does not reduce risk. Readiness does.

NCX Group helps defense contractors build security and compliance programs that endure change, withstand scrutiny, and protect both contracts and operations.
