CMMC 2.0, NIST 800-171, and ITAR compliance for San Diego’s defense industrial base. Protect CUI, maintain contract eligibility, and defend against nation-state threats.
San Diego hosts one of the largest concentrations of defense contractors in the country. Naval Base San Diego, MCAS Miramar, and the region’s aerospace corridor make it a high-priority target for adversaries.
Foreign intelligence services actively target San Diego's defense industrial base for military technology, weapons system data, and operational intelligence.
Attackers target subcontractors and vendors with weaker security to reach prime contractors. A single compromised supplier can expose CUI across the supply chain.
Employees, contractors, and cleared personnel with access to CUI and classified systems pose significant risk through negligence or deliberate action.
Sophisticated, long-term campaigns that evade basic security controls. APT groups maintain persistent access to defense networks for months or years.
Security services built for the unique requirements of the defense industrial base, from CMMC compliance to APT defense.
Full-service CMMC readiness assessment, gap remediation, SSP/POA&M development, and C3PAO preparation for San Diego defense contractors.
Implementation of all 110 security requirements across 14 control families, with documented evidence for assessment readiness.
Technical controls and processes to ensure ITAR-controlled data is only accessible by authorized US persons and remains within compliant systems.
24/7 monitoring with defense-grade threat intelligence. Our SOC understands the APT landscape targeting the defense industrial base.
Compliance-driven pen testing that validates your security controls against CMMC requirements and simulates real-world nation-state attack techniques.
Strategic security leadership for defense contractors who need CMMC expertise without hiring a full-time security executive.
A structured path from current state to CMMC certification, typically completed in 6-18 months depending on your starting posture.
Evaluate current security controls against NIST 800-171 requirements and calculate your SPRS score.
Map all systems that store, process, or transmit CUI. Design enclave architecture to minimize scope.
Develop System Security Plan and Plan of Action & Milestones for all gaps with realistic timelines.
Implement MFA, encryption, SIEM, EDR, and access controls meeting NIST 800-171 requirements.
Create policies for all 14 control families. Train personnel on CUI handling and security procedures.
Conduct internal assessment, collect evidence artifacts, and prepare for C3PAO certification audit.
San Diego’s defense ecosystem spans naval warfare systems, aerospace engineering, intelligence platforms, and unmanned vehicle technology. The region’s contractors range from major primes with thousands of employees to specialized subcontractors with fewer than 50.
Regardless of size, every contractor handling CUI must achieve CMMC compliance to maintain contract eligibility. The DoD has made clear that CMMC requirements are non-negotiable, and the phase-in timeline means contractors need to act now. Our local team works with San Diego defense organizations of all sizes to achieve certification on time and within budget.
