Compliance & Audit Services
Protect Your Contracts and Data
If your business works with the Department of Defense (DoD) or falls under the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), meeting NIST 800-171 and CMMC requirements isn’t just recommended, it’s mandatory. You may already be seeing the verbiage in new contract requirements. These standards are designed to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and show the DoD that your company takes security seriously. Staying compliant keeps your contracts safe and your data secure.
How Rappahannock IT Helps
We don’t just hand you a checklist and wish you luck. Our team rolls up its sleeves and helps design, build, and maintain secure environments that meet compliance standards from day one. In fact, we’ve already guided clients through two successful C3PAO assessments with the DIB over the past six years, so we know what it takes to navigate the process.
Here’s what we bring to the table:
• Gap Assessments – Spot the risks and missing pieces in your current setup.
• Secure Environment Setup – Put the right firewalls, monitoring, access controls, and technical safeguards in place.
• Documentation Support – Build and maintain your System Security Plan (SSP) and POA&M without the headaches.
• CMMC Readiness – Get your team and systems prepared for third-party assessments.
• Ongoing Compliance Management – Stay on track as requirements change over time.

Proven Success in the DIB
One of our clients in the Defense Industrial Base came to us unsure if their systems were ready for a CMMC assessment. After working through a gap analysis, implementing the right controls, and getting their documentation in order, they went into their C3PAO audit with confidence and passed on the first attempt.
We’ve now guided clients through two successful C3PAO assessments in the past six years, giving us the hands-on experience to help other organizations do the same.
