Frequently Asked Questions

What is CMMC and why does it matter for my business?

CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is the DoD framework that verifies contractors protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Without meeting its requirements, organizations may lose eligibility for federal contracts.

How long does a CMMC readiness engagement usually take?

For small businesses, a full readiness project typically runs 6–12 weeks depending on scope, documentation maturity, and resource availability. Larger or more complex environments may take longer.

Can A³ Vallum perform official CMMC audits?

Not directly — only authorized C3PAOs can issue certifications. However, our Certified CMMC Assessors (CCAs) can join C3PAO audit teams or prepare your organization to ensure a smooth, successful review.

What do I need before starting a readiness assessment?

A current inventory of systems, users, and vendors is ideal. If you don’t have one, we’ll help you define scope and boundaries as part of discovery.

Do you work only with small businesses?

Our core expertise is guiding small and mid-sized companies through compliance efficiently, but we also support primes and larger enterprises that need certified assessor depth or program scalability.

How much ongoing support do you provide after certification?

We offer flexible maintenance programs — from quarterly health checks to fully managed compliance — ensuring your controls stay current and evidence remains audit-ready.
