Get started with CMMC
5,700+ companies trust A-LIGN for their compliance and cybersecurity needs
Our expert team of CCPs and CCAs are ready when you are.
With an estimated 80,000+ organizations impacted and only a finite number of C3PAOs who can perform CMMC assessments, organizations that don’t get ahead could get left behind. Backed by deep federal expertise and a team purpose-built to scale, we’re equipped to handle your compliance needs – while smaller firms risk being overwhelmed.
Launch your CMMC journey in just 6 weeks with our expert lead team, less than half the industry average.
Leverage the expertise of a high-quality C3PAO to achieve compliance
Federal frameworks like CMMC are far more complex than SOC 2. Our extensive federal expertise across FedRAMP and NIST frameworks helps you have confidence in the process and reduce risk.
Prevent business disruption and meet DoD requirements
With the final rule in effect, DoD contractors need to act quickly to demonstrate compliance. The certification process will take 6-12 months on average, so don’t delay the start of your CMMC journey.
Avoid long wait times with industry-leading start times
Backed by a team purpose-built to scale and with deep federal expertise, we’re equipped to handle your CMMC needs, while smaller firms are becoming overwhelmed – often requiring months before kick off.
