CMMC readiness

CMMC readiness consulting for Maryland contractors and small defense suppliers

Sentinel Owl helps contractors understand their CUI exposure, organize evidence, close common NIST/CMMC gaps, and build a realistic roadmap before formal assessment pressure arrives.

Signals you need this

  • You are not sure where CUI lives or which systems are in scope
  • Policies exist but do not match actual daily operations
  • MFA, logging, backups, and device management are inconsistent
  • Prime contractors or customers are starting to ask for proof

What Sentinel Owl delivers

  • Scope and data-flow review for CUI and contract obligations
  • Gap assessment aligned to CMMC/NIST control families
  • Remediation roadmap for identity, endpoints, backups, policies, and evidence
  • Executive summary that separates urgent controls from long-term maturity

Why it works for local teams

  • Focused on practical implementation, not binderware
  • Good fit for small contractors without a full compliance department
  • Pairs compliance planning with managed IT execution

Start with a practical assessment

We map the current environment, document risks, prioritize quick wins, and give you a concrete next-step plan before asking for a long-term commitment.

Common questions

Are you a C3PAO?

No. We provide readiness and implementation support so you are better prepared for formal assessment conversations.

Can you write policies?

Yes, but policies are paired with actual technical controls and evidence collection.

Can you help if we are just starting?

Yes. The best first step is scoping where sensitive contract data actually lives.
