CMMC Compliance Services FAQ
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification is the Department of Defense’s framework for protecting Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
NIST 800-171 is a set of 110 security controls that protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in non-federal systems. CMMC, on the other hand, is the Department of Defense’s certification framework that ensures that an organization has implemented (and can demonstrate) those NIST 800-171 controls. Certain CMMC levels also have additional practices and maturity processes.

To better protect the DIB from increasingly dangerous cyber threats, the DoD requires that defense contractors meet CMMC requirements to stay eligible for DoD contracts. Compliance demonstrates that your company can protect sensitive data (FCI and CUI) and operate securely within the supply chain.
The CMMC ruling refers to the 48 CFR final rule published by the DoD on September 10, 2025, which makes the CMMC a contractual requirement for defense contractors.
Effective November 10, 2025, the CMMC final ruling launches Phase 1 of the four-phase rollout, allowing contracting officers to include certification requirements in new solicitations and awards.
This step amends DFARS and moves CMMC from policy to enforcement, meaning that companies handling CUI within the DIB must demonstrate NIST 800-171 compliance through CMMC certification to stay eligible for DoD contracts.
These consultants typically include Registered Provider Organizations and Registered Practitioners authorized by the Cyber AB, as well as CISOs and managed compliance providers with experience in NIST 800-171 and DFARS.
Managed IT services companies help defense contractors and suppliers meet CMMC requirements by guiding you through every phase of compliance. That starts with readiness assessments and CUI boundary design to ongoing managed IT and evidence reporting.
Teal CMMC combines Cyber AB-certified Registered Practitioners (RPs), vCISOs, and compliance engineers to align your IT systems with NIST 800-171 and CMMC Level 2 standards while keeping your operations running smoothly.
We support small and mid-sized government contractors across the DIB, including manufacturing, engineering, logistics, and professional services.
