What's Included in BEMO's CMMC Compliance Services
BEMO’s Managed CMMC Compliance service handles every piece of the program, technical controls, policies, auditors, and ongoing maintenance, so your team can focus on contract work, not compliance operations.
Security Questionnaires
When DoD primes or government agencies request security documentation, BEMO responds on your behalf, pulling evidence directly from your GRC platform and tailoring responses to each questionnaire.
Auditor Management
BEMO manages all communication with your C3PAO, submitting evidence packages, responding to assessor requests, and tracking remediation findings until each one closes.
Pen Test Management
CMMC Level 2 requires annual penetration testing. BEMO coordinates with accredited pen testers, reviews findings, and drives remediation. You see the report; we handle what comes after.
Risk Management
We maintain your risk register, document risk decisions for each CMMC control domain, and prepare the risk assessment artifacts your C3PAO assessor will review at audit time.
Quarterly Reviews
Your virtual CISO leads a quarterly review covering CMMC control status, upcoming assessment timelines, policy renewals, and any new CUI-handling requirements tied to your contracts.
Vendor Management
We collect SOC 2 reports and security attestations from your third-party vendors and vet new vendors against CMMC supply chain risk requirements before they ever touch your CUI environment.
Security Awareness Training
CMMC requires documented, recurring security training for all personnel with CUI access. BEMO runs KnowBe4 campaigns, tracks completion across employees and contractors, and keeps training records audit-ready.
Trust Page Management
CMMC requires 18+ documented IT policies, from access control and incident response to acceptable use and vendor management. BEMO maintains, maps, and updates every policy in your GRC platform, tracks employee signatures, and generates new policies when controls or contracts change.
Background Check Coordination
CMMC requires background screening for all personnel with access to CUI. BEMO coordinates with your HR team to run checks through Checkr and uploads results directly into your GRC platform.
Our Compliance & Technology Partners
We've built partnerships with leading auditors and GRC platforms so your path from readiness to certification stays on track.
:: How BEMO Implements CMMC 2.0 Compliance Services
CMMC 2.0 has three levels. Most defense contractors in the DoD supply chain need Level 2, which covers 110 requirements aligned with NIST SP 800-171. BEMO’s CMMC compliance certification services manage the full process, from your initial GAP assessment through certification and ongoing maintenance.
-
CMMC Level 1
15 requirements covering basic cybersecurity hygiene for organizations handling Federal Contract Information (FCI). Annual self-assessment and affirmation. BEMO completes workspace setup and all 15 controls during months 5–8.
-
CMMC Level 2
110 requirements aligned with NIST SP 800-171, the level most defense contractors need. Required for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), with third-party assessments every three years. BEMO implements all 110 controls during months 9–16 using a Microsoft-native stack (Entra ID, Defender, Intune, Purview, Sentinel) plus Drata, KnowBe4, and SkyKick.
-
CMMC Level 3
110 requirements from NIST SP 800‑171 plus 24 selected enhanced requirements from NIST SP 800‑172, with a government-led assessment every three years. Required for the most sensitive DoD programs. BEMO’s CMMC Level 3 compliance services support organizations on the path to government-led assessment as part of a phased compliance roadmap.

:: Which CMMC Compliance Approach Is Right for Your Organization?
Not every defense contractor needs a full Microsoft 365 GCC High migration to achieve CMMC Level 2.
The right path depends on how much of your work touches Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), how many users need access to it, and what your budget allows. There are four common approaches, each with real trade-offs.
:: Plans and Pricing
Everything you need to get, and stay, compliant.
We simplify CMMC compliance by combining expert-led support, compliance automation, and managed security into one complete package. The only thing that affects pricing is your headcount. Everything else is fully managed.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
1) What are CMMC compliance services?
CMMC compliance services include everything needed to achieve and maintain certification, from GAP assessments and control implementation to policy development, auditor coordination, and ongoing management. A full-service CMMC compliance company or CMMC compliance service provider handles this end-to-end, reducing internal workload and eliminating constant audit back-and-forth.
-
2) How much does CMMC compliance cost?
Costs vary based on your security posture, company size, and required level. BEMO’s CMMC compliance services for small businesses starts at $3,600/month for organizations up to 100 employees, far below the $84,000-$132,000 annual cost of an in-house hire before tools and benefits. A GAP assessment defines your actual scope and cost upfront.
-
3) What is the difference between NIST 800-171 and CMMC?
NIST SP 800-171 defines the 110 requirements for protecting CUI. CMMC is the certification framework the DoD uses to verify compliance. NIST sets the rules; CMMC proves adherence. Under CMMC 2.0, Level 2 requires third-party validation every three years instead of self-certification.
-
4) Who provides full-service CMMC compliance support?
BEMO is a Cyber AB Registered Practitioner Organization delivering full CMMC compliance certification services. Unlike firms that stop at assessments, BEMO manages GAP analysis, implementation of all 110 Level 2 controls, auditor coordination, and ongoing support. Each client gets a full team, including a vCISO, engineers, SOC analysts, and project leadership.
-
5) How long does CMMC Level 2 certification take?
BEMO’s standard timeline is 16 months. The first 8 months cover foundational security and Level 1 requirements, including identity, device, and monitoring controls. Months 9–16 complete all 110 Level 2 controls with ongoing management. A GAP assessment sets a realistic timeline based on your environment.
-
6) Do I need to migrate to Microsoft 365 GCC or GCC High for CMMC?
Not always. Requirements depend on your CUI type and current setup. Some organizations meet Level 2 in Microsoft 365 Commercial, while ITAR workloads require GCC High. Hybrid setups, like an Azure Virtual Desktop enclave, can reduce cost and scope. A GAP assessment identifies the right approach.
-
7) What does BEMO’s CMMC implementation include?
BEMO delivers full CMMC 2.0 compliance services, implementing all 110 Level 2 controls aligned with NIST SP 800-171. This includes Microsoft Entra ID, Defender, Intune, Purview, and Sentinel, plus Drata, KnowBe4, SkyKick, and Scappman. Services also cover policies, vendor risk, pen testing, auditor coordination, and quarterly CISO reviews, with support for advanced needs like CMMC level 3 compliance services.
-

Yes. BEMO holds SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications and operates under the same standards it delivers. As a Cyber AB RPO and Microsoft Solutions Partner, BEMO has direct experience with certification requirements, ensuring credible, real-world implementation.
