Stop Losing Bids to ISO-Certified Competitors
Your competitor just won the $500K contract you should have gotten. The technical evaluation was comparable. Your pricing was competitive. But the procurement scorecard gave them 15 points for CMMC certification - and you got zero. This is the third major bid you've lost this year to certified competitors. The pattern is clear: without CMMC certification, you can't compete for the opportunities your capabilities deserve.
Many ISO consultants will hand you generic templates, create documentation that doesn't reflect how you actually work, and leave you with a quality management system nobody follows. We don't work that way. In over 200 ISO certification projects across quality, environmental, safety, information security, and energy management standards, including integrated management systems addressing multiple standards, we've never had a client receive a Major finding or fail their certification audit. Not once. We achieve first-attempt certification in 3-6 months by building quality management systems tailored to your actual operations - not copying templates that create bureaucratic nightmares.
What is CMMC Certification?
CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is the unified cybersecurity standard for the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). Developed by the Department of Defense, CMMC 2.0 establishes three levels of cybersecurity maturity to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Whether you're a defense prime contractor, subcontractor, or supplier at any tier, CMMC certification at the required level is now mandatory to bid on and perform DoD contracts. CMMC replaces self-attestation with independent third-party verification of cybersecurity capabilities.
CMMC certification ensures continued eligibility for DoD contracts and defense business, protects sensitive defense information and CUI from cyber threats, demonstrates verified cybersecurity compliance to the Department of Defense, and provides competitive positioning as CMMC requirements are phased into all defense contracts.
