CMMC Cybersecurity & Compliance Services
Prepare for CMMC with a partner that has been through the process. Charles IT helps organizations understand their CMMC requirements, identify security gaps, protect CUI, implement necessary controls, and prepare for assessment.
Navigate CMMC Compliance Challenges
CMMC requirements affect how defense contractors protect sensitive information, manage cybersecurity controls, and demonstrate compliance. Charles IT helps turn those requirements into a practical path toward CMMC readiness.
Understanding Your CMMC Requirements
Determining which CMMC level and assessment requirements apply to your organization can be difficult, especially when contracts involve FCI or CUI.
Defining Your CUI Environment
Organizations need to understand where CUI is stored, processed, transmitted, and accessed before they can effectively protect it.
Identifying Compliance Gaps
Missing controls, outdated systems, weak processes, or incomplete documentation can stand between your organization and CMMC readiness.
Maintaining Documentation & Evidence
CMMC requires more than implementing security tools. Organizations need policies, procedures, documentation, and evidence that demonstrate controls are operating as required.

Who needs to comply with CMMC?
CMMC requirements can apply to DoD contractors and subcontractors when those requirements are included in applicable contracts or solicitations. The required CMMC level depends largely on whether an organization handles FCI or CUI and its contractual requirements.
What is the difference between CMMC Level 1 and Level 2?
Level 1 focuses on safeguarding FCI, while Level 2 applies to organizations that need to protect CUI and aligns with the security requirements of NIST SP 800-171.
Does CMMC Level 2 always require a C3PAO assessment?
No. Assessment requirements depend on the applicable contract and program. Some Level 2 organizations may be permitted to perform self-assessments, while others require an assessment by a C3PAO.
Can Charles IT perform our official CMMC assessment?
