IronGate CMMC Advisory

Don't Lose Contracts to Competitors Over CMMC Compliance

CMMC compliance can be a challenge.

Changing regulations are a maze to navigate.
Non-compliance can lose you contracts.
Diverting your staff to manage CMMC is expensive.
Free up your resources

Built by certified practitioners. Designed around your actual compliance needs.

Most Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) advisors treat every client the same, regardless of their real needs. We don't. Our first engagement is a Readiness Snapshot — a scoping and decision-support exercise that determines where Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) actually exist in your environment. That single step can prevent tens of thousands of dollars in unnecessary remediation.
IronGate is a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO) registered with the Cyber AB, and our team goes well beyond the baseline. Practitioners on the IronGate team hold active Cyber AB credentials, including Registered Practitioner (RP), Certified CMMC Professional (CCP), and Certified CMMC Assessors (CCA). Most RPOs are staffed with practitioners who can advise but cannot assess. Our CCAs bring assessment-level expertise to every engagement, which means the guidance we provide is held to the same standard as a formal audit, not approximated from the outside. This credential depth directly reduces your risk of failed assessments and unsupported documentation.

IronGate is staffed by CMMC Registered Practitioners with real-world Department of War (DoW) contractor experience. Our team brings 176 combined years of IT and cybersecurity experience and holds 44+ certifications across CMMC, NIST, forensics, and security architecture disciplines.

We built this practice for the Defense Industrial Base — prime contractors, subcontractors, and technology providers — and we have structured every engagement around one goal: getting you certified and keeping you there without disrupting your operations.
Your plan of attack

Our streamlined lifecycle delivers total audit readiness.

We have distilled the journey into four managed steps designed to get you compliant and keep you there.

Readiness Snapshot

Before you commit, get a comprehensive picture of your standing. We'll perform a high-level gap analysis to evaluate your security posture thoroughly.
  • FCI vs. CUI determination: We identify if you handle Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) to determine your required level.

  • The outcome: A clear roadmap. Take the action plan and execute it yourself, or waive the fees by enrolling in our Managed Service.

Remediation & Documentation

We'll handle the heavy lifting required to close any identified security gaps as well as generate mandatory documentation.
  • System Security Plan (SSP): We develop this critical document describing your system boundaries and operational environment.

  • Closing the gaps: We implement the technical controls required to meet NIST SP 800-171 standards.

  • Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M): We create a compliant Operational Plan of Action for non-critical gaps, allowing you to achieve a Conditional CMMC Status while work continues.

  • FedRAMP-authorized tooling where required: For environments handling CUI, we design and implement isolated secure enclaves using GCC/GCC High and approved cloud services — keeping CUI off general business systems.
  • Score estimation: Receive a Supplier Performance Risk System Score (SPRS Score) estimate —an early indicator of your scoring posture before any investment in remediation.

Audit & Certification

When it is time for the assessment, we act as your advocate, giving you confidence and assurance that your organization will meet the requirements.
  • For Level 1: We guide you through the required annual Self-Assessment to submit your results to SPRS.

  • For Level 2: We prepare you for the C3PAO (Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization) assessment, organizing evidence and ensuring your Security Protection Data is ready.

Ongoing Compliance

It's an unfortunate reality in this space, but compliance is a living status with requirements that can shift and change quickly. We'll be there so you don't have to worry.
  • Continuous monitoring: We perform required ongoing monitoring to ensure controls remain effective.

  • Annual affirmation: We manage the data required for your Affirming Official to submit the mandatory annual affirmation.

Ready to start?

Let's begin with step 1 and book that consultation!

62% of contractors pursuing CMMC Level 2 lack the critical governance controls required for certification success.

Predictable outcomes built on regulatory expertise.

You need more than general IT support; you need specific regulatory competence. Our approach is strictly aligned with CMMC to withstand scrutiny.
  • Shared responsibility: We use a Shared Responsibility Matrix to clearly define which controls we manage, reducing your internal burden.
  • Regulatory precision: We expertly distinguish between FCI and CUI handling to ensure you never over-spend on unnecessary controls or remain under-protected against NIST 800-171 requirements.
  • Scope management: We help define your CMMC Assessment Scope to ensure only relevant assets are assessed, saving time and resources.

The regulatory expertise you need to secure your future.
