CMMC Penetration Testing
Security assessment for defense contractor compliance
What this engagement covers
The service
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requires defense contractors to demonstrate security controls protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Our CMMC penetration testing validates your implementation of NIST SP 800-171 controls and prepares your organization for CMMC assessment.
What we test
We assess all systems within your CUI boundary including network infrastructure, endpoints, cloud environments, access controls, and data protection mechanisms. Testing validates implementation of all 110 NIST SP 800-171 security requirements across 14 control families.
How we run it
Our methodology aligns with CMMC Level 2 requirements and NIST SP 800-171. We validate access controls, identification and authentication, system integrity, and incident response capabilities. Each finding maps to specific CMMC practices and NIST 800-171 controls, providing clear remediation paths for certification readiness.
CUI boundary identification and scoping
Access control testing (AC family)
Identification and authentication testing (IA family)
System and communications protection testing (SC family)
Audit and accountability validation (AU family)
Configuration management assessment (CM family)
Incident response testing (IR family)
Risk assessment and vulnerability scanning (RA family)
What you receive
Findings land in your tracker as you go, not only in a PDF at the end. Retest is in scope, not a change order.
- CMMC-aligned penetration test report
- NIST SP 800-171 control validation results
- CUI boundary assessment
- System Security Plan (SSP) gap analysis
- Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) input
- CMMC assessment readiness summary
- Remediation roadmap with priorities
- Retest validation report
What we usually find
The issues this engagement surfaces most often. Yours will differ, but this is the shape of it.
Who this is for
Findings are mapped to CMMC 2.0, NIST SP 800-171, DFARS 252.204-7012, NIST CSF, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
