Our Implementation Methodology
A Proven Framework for Achieving CMMC Compliance
At DataSoftNow, we understand that CMMC compliance is more than completing documentation—it requires implementing sustainable cybersecurity practices that satisfy both technical and organizational assessment objectives.
Our consulting methodology follows a structured, risk-based approach aligned with NIST SP 800-171, the CMMC Assessment Process (CAP), and applicable DFARS requirements. We work alongside your organization from initial planning through certification, ensuring every control is properly implemented, documented, and validated.
Our Implementation Methodology
1. Discovery & Scoping
We begin by defining your CMMC assessment scope, identifying CUI boundaries, mapping information systems, and validating assets that fall within the assessment environment.
2. Gap Assessment
Our consultants evaluate your current cybersecurity posture against all 110 NIST SP 800-171 security requirements, identifying deficiencies, implementation gaps, and compliance risks.
3. Remediation Planning
Each identified gap is prioritized based on risk and operational impact. We develop a practical remediation roadmap that balances compliance objectives with business operations.
4. Technical Implementation
Our engineers implement and validate the technical safeguards required for compliance, including:
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Access Control
- Microsoft 365 GCC/GCC High configuration
- Microsoft Intune & Endpoint Management
- Microsoft Defender
- Secure Remote Access
- SIEM & Log Management
- Vulnerability Management
- Secure Network Architecture
5. Documentation Development
We prepare and validate all required CMMC documentation, including:
- System Security Plan (SSP)
- Policies & Procedures
- Network Diagrams
- Asset Inventory
- Data Flow Diagrams
- Incident Response Documentation
- Risk Assessment
- POA&M
- Evidence Repository
6. Internal Validation
Before your assessment, we perform an internal readiness review to verify that technical controls, documentation, and objective evidence satisfy CMMC assessment expectations.
7. Assessment Readiness
We prepare your personnel for assessor interviews, validate evidence, conduct mock assessments when requested, and ensure your organization is fully prepared for the formal CMMC assessment.
