// Defense Manufacturing / CMMC
Southern Indiana defense manufacturer (~60 staff)
// The challenge
A defense manufacturer was contractually required to reach CMMC Level 2 compliance and be audit-ready before the fall. The organization had no formal documentation of its security controls and no written policies governing how Controlled Unclassified Information was handled - leaving a wide gap between where they were and what an assessor would expect to see.
// What TeknaByte did
- →Reviewed all NIST 800-171 controls one by one, documenting the current state and supporting evidence for each.
- →Authored the company-specific security policies and procedures required to satisfy each control family.
- →Designed and deployed the infrastructure needed to meet the technical safeguards - access control, monitoring, and CUI protection.
- →Organized the resulting evidence and documentation so it could withstand a formal assessment.
// The outcome
The manufacturer reached audit-ready status ahead of its deadline, with every control documented, policies in force, and the supporting infrastructure in place. What began as an undocumented environment became a defensible compliance program the business can maintain going forward.
