Optiv CMMC Certification Support is a consulting service designed to help Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors achieve Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance required for bidding on U.S. Department of Defense contracts. The service addresses the requirement that all DoD contractors and subcontractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must obtain certification at one of three maturity levels (Foundational, Advanced, or Expert) through a CMMC Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO). The service provides strategic guidance aligned with organizational federal business objectives, provisional CMMC reviews including compliance package preparation and evidentiary artifact development, and actionable remediation roadmaps. Optiv assists organizations throughout the certification journey, from initial assessment through final certification readiness. The service addresses common implementation challenges including insufficient internal resources for cybersecurity testing, lack of formalized documentation for policies and procedures, and inadequate security awareness training. Organizations receive support for developing documentation that meets the formalization requirements, which comprise over 60% of Level 2 and above certification criteria. Optiv's approach includes end-to-end security solution deployment, technology architecture design, and implementation services to achieve full compliance with CMMC requirements before the September 2025 full implementation deadline.
