Need Help Meeting the CMMC Standard?

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) can be confusing. All the same, by 2026, all Government Contractors working within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) must meet the CMMC standard.

Simple Helix can assist with your journey to compliance by acting as your Managed IT Services Provider (MSP). Once you have policies in place, we will implement and configure the tools you need to mitigate any security gaps and help you meet the CMMC standard.

After gaining compliance, we can become your ongoing support provider. We will ensure your environment stays configured to your unique specifications.

A Successful CMMC Compliance Journey

At Simple Helix, we understand that CMMC standards can be confusing and difficult to meet. We will help you through the process of achieving compliance.

Here are a few of the entities you will meet on your CMMC journey:

Gap Assessors

Gap Assessors compare your security posture to compliance standards. They report on where your business must improve to meet the necessary controls. The assessor can also help you create your SSP and Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M).

You can think of the Gap Assessor as a doctor. Let’s imagine you go to the doctor for foot pain. After the doctor investigates the area, he concludes that you have sprained your ankle. The doctor directs you to wear a boot, do physical therapy exercises, and take some medication that will help you in the healing process and get you back in the competition. Similarly, the Gap Assessor will diagnose your compliance issues and help you create a plan to get better.

Managed Services Provider (MSP)

MSPs like Simple Helix put the tools you need to execute your SSP into effect. They also provide ongoing support for those tools, including checking that security features like firewalls and O365 licenses stay functional and updated.

Going along with our medical analogy in the Gap Assessor section above, we can think of the Managed Services Provider as the physical therapist. They give you the boot you need, reccommend the best exercises (like the MSP recommends tools), and stabilize your ankle . Once you are healed, the physical therapist will continue to support you so that your ankle stays healthy and functional.

Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP)

Where an MSP deals in implementation, support, and maintaining security within solutions and tools, an MSSP deals in security response. An MSSP focuses on forensic analysis, incident response, pen testing, and more security response activities. In the event of a breach, your MSSP will meet compliance by taking action against cyber crime and investigating why it happened.

Continuing the medical analogy from the sections above, you can equate your MSSP to a security-minded at-home healthcare provider. If you are an Olympic athlete, some people may not want your sprained ankle to heal, just like some people may want to hack into your company’s system for ransom money or information. The MSSP ensures no one tampers with your resources.

Certified Third Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs)

C3pAOs evaluate and certify your business to the appropriate CMMC level. The C3PAO has the power to award or deny certification.

Like the Gap Assessor, the C3PAO has a role similar to a doctor. However, this doctor is the one who will declare that your ankle has healed enough for you to compete in the Olympic games. This doctor gives you a check up after you have had time to follow the advice of the first doctor. This final assessment will either dictate you must continue the healing process (do further work to achieve compliance) or it will clear you to return to the Olympics (work as a government contractor).
