CMMC
Achieve CMMC compliance with a top C3PAO.
CMMC demands a high level of precision and scrutiny. As a top three FedRAMP Assessor with extensive experience across NIST frameworks, A-LIGN helps you proactively address compliance gaps, reducing risk and improving your cybersecurity posture. We understand the complexity and rigor required to achieve CMMC compliance.
Don’t risk delays to mission‑critical contracts, and gain an edge over your competitors. We’re fully staffed with federal experts to get you kicked off quickly.
Simplify CMMC certification with a top federal assessor
CMMC was developed by the DoD to ensure that cybersecurity controls and processes adequately protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) that resides on Defense Industrial Base (DIB) systems and networks to protect our national security.
A high-quality audit ensures you receive thorough, detailed feedback to identify potential issues early. This avoids unnecessary delays and ensures compliance without compromise. Choosing a vendor with no federal expertise could leave you potentially vulnerable to legal ramification.
The benefits of CMMC certification with A-LIGN:
- Deep federal expertise: We understand the rigor and complexity of federal audits and deliver a high-quality experience and certification that meets the strict standards required by government agencies.
- Industry-leading start times: We bring unmatched availability and capacity to help you meet DoD cybersecurity standards. Launch your CMMC journey in less than half the time of the industry average.
- Experienced across industries: We’re trusted by a variety of industries including manufacturers, aerospace firms, and business service providers.

CMMC readiness assessment
Are you ready for CMMC certification? Validate your preparedness and build confidence with a readiness assessment. As part of this mock audit process, A-LIGN will evaluate your organization’s security policies, procedures, and processes against the requirements published in CMMC.
Whether you are pursuing a full assessment for certification or a self-attestation, a readiness assessment with a C3PAO will give you confidence and added assurance. Assessment activities will include interviewing and observing personnel, inspecting evidence, and selecting samples of system components.
CMMC assessment
As a C3PAO with trained CMMC certified assessors, A-LIGN will work with your organization through the four phases outlined in the CMMC assessment process from planning to the final report. This certification will allow Organizations Seeking Certification (OSCs) to meet upcoming contractual requirements for Defense Industrial Base clients at Level 2.
