CMMC certified companies

Quiet Professionals earns CMMC Level 2 certification with A-LIGN 

Quiet Professionals, a defense and national security solutions provider based in Tampa, needed to achieve CMMC Level 2 certification to continue supporting mission-critical government operations. 

Facing a strict deadline and a complex compliance landscape, Quiet Professionals selected A-LIGN as their trusted C3PAO. By leveraging A-LIGN’s structured assessment process, Quiet Professionals successfully achieved CMMC Level 2 certification on time, validating their cybersecurity posture and securing their ability to pursue new defense contracts. 

Navigating the CMMC compliance marketplace initially proved challenging for the Quiet Professionals team. As a first‑time participant in the CMMC assessment process, they needed more than a vendor — they needed a trusted guide with deep federal compliance expertise. Using the Cyber AB marketplace, they searched for a partner capable of executing a rigorous, defensible assessment under a strict deadline. 

Through their dedicated internal preparation and A-LIGN’s efficient audit process, Quiet Professionals successfully achieved CMMC Level 2 certification on schedule. The partnership yielded several key benefits: 

• On-time certification: A-LIGN successfully met the strict assessment deadline, ensuring zero disruption to Quiet Professionals’ government contract eligibility. 
• Streamlined process: The A-LIGN team provided a highly professional, organized, and transparent audit experience. 
• Validated security posture: The successful audit reinforced the company’s ability to securely support their customers’ critical missions. 
• Long-term partnership: Based on the success of this engagement, Quiet Professionals plans to use A-LIGN for their mandatory CMMC re-attestations every three years, as well as for compliance services related to newly developed technology solutions. 

Continental Resources achieves CMMC compliance success with Level 2 certification 

As a family‑owned global IT solutions provider with more than 60 years of experience, Continental Resources (ConRes) delivers a comprehensive range of technologies and services to over 3,000 customers across multiple industries worldwide. As a reseller for all major technology vendors — including industry leaders such as Cisco — ConRes offers an extensive portfolio spanning products, services, solution design, configuration, warehousing, and logistics. 

ConRes serves federal contractors within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), which required the company to maintain compliance with the recently established Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC 2.0) program. With A-LIGN as their trusted C3PAO, ConRes became one of the first organizations to successfully obtain CMMC Level 2 certification in June 2025.

The ConRes team found working with A-LIGN during the CMMC assessment was a smooth and successful experience. 

Their long-standing relationship with the firm proved to be beneficial to the process. The ConRes team knew A-LIGN delivered thorough and high-quality audits, and ConRes prepared long and hard to successfully navigate their first CMMC assessment with A-LIGN’s rigorous audit methodology.
