CMMC Level 2 Managed Service for DoD Contractors

Why Choose BEMO for CMMC Level 2 Compliance Services

CMMC Level 2 applies to defense contractors that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

Meeting all 110 requirements aligned with NIST SP 800-171 takes more than buying a GRC tool. Selecting the right Microsoft 365 environment, scoping your CUI boundary, managing C3PAO assessors, and keeping controls compliant between audits creates operational work that builds month over month.

Unlike a traditional CMMC Level 2 consulting service that leaves implementation to your internal team, BEMO owns the entire program from GAP assessment through ongoing maintenance.

Security Questionnaires

When DoD primes or government agencies request security documentation, BEMO responds on your behalf. We pull evidence directly from your GRC platform and shape each response to the questionnaire in front of us.

Auditor Management

BEMO manages all C3PAO communications. We submit evidence packages, respond to assessor requests, and track every remediation finding until it 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 NIST 800-171 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, 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. New vendors get vetted against CMMC supply chain risk requirements before they ever touch your CUI environment.

Security Awareness Training

CMMC Level 2 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.

Policy Management

CMMC Level 2 requires 18+ documented IT policies, from access control and incident response to acceptable use and vendor management. BEMO maintains 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.

How BEMO Implements CMMC Level 2 Compliance Services

CMMC 2.0 Level 2 covers 110 requirements aligned with NIST SP 800-171, spread across 14 control families. BEMO's managed CMMC Level 2 compliance services handle the full path from GAP assessment through C3PAO certification and ongoing maintenance.

GAP Assessment and Scoping

Our CMMC Level 2 readiness service starts by mapping your CUI flow, contract clauses, and current security posture against the 110 NIST SP 800-171 requirements. The GAP report defines the scope of your CUI environment, identifies which controls already pass, and builds the implementation roadmap. This step also confirms whether you need Microsoft 365 GCC High, a hybrid enclave architecture, or another approach.

Implementation and Control Deployment

BEMO implements all 110 Level 2 controls across 14 NIST 800-171 families using a Microsoft-native stack: Entra ID, Defender, Intune, Purview, and Sentinel. We layer Drata for GRC automation, KnowBe4 for security awareness training, SkyKick for cloud backup, and Scappman for vulnerability patching. Months 1 through 8 cover the Microsoft 365 environment setup, foundational security, and Level 1 controls. Months 9 through 16 complete the remaining Level 2 work and finalize evidence collection.

C3PAO Assessment and Certification

As part of our CMMC Level 2 assessment service, BEMO coordinates directly with your selected C3PAO. We submit evidence packages, field assessor questions, and track every remediation item until it closes. Our working relationship with Insight Assurance mean you have an assessor lined up from day one.

Ongoing Compliance Management

CMMC Level 2 requires third-party reassessment every three years and annual affirmation in between. BEMO's managed CMMC Level 2 compliance services keep your controls operational, your policies current, and your evidence audit-ready year-round, with 72-hour SLA remediation when something drifts.

CMMC Enclave or Full GCC High: Choosing the Right Architecture

Defense contractors evaluating CMMC Level 2 compliance often consider CMMC enclave solutions to reduce scope.
A CMMC enclave is a smaller, isolated environment that holds CUI and limits the extent of your business subject to the 110 controls.

Enclaves can lower the upfront cost. They also create dual-environment operations that grow more complex over time.

BEMO designs and operates CMMC-compliant environments built primarily on Microsoft 365 GCC High and support enclave-based architectures (PreVeil or Azure Virtual Desktop isolation) when the scoping strategy calls for one.

The right path depends on how much of your work touches CUI, how many users need access, and what your three-year total cost picture looks like.

	Best For	Trade-Offs
Architecture
Full GCC High Environment	Contractors where most users handle CUI; primes that want one unified compliant tenant	Highest upfront cost; lowest ongoing scope risk
M365 Commercial + AVD Enclave (GCC High)	M365 Commercial + AVD Enclave (GCC High)	Moderate setup; two-environment operations
M365 Commercial + PreVeil	Small teams with limited CUI users; cost-sensitive contractors	Lower setup cost; narrower CUI workflow support
Two Separate Devices (Commercial + GCC High)	Maximum physical separation; very few CUI users	Hardware overhead and two device management workflows

Why BEMO Leads with GCC High

BEMO's model is operational compliance. Enclaves work as scope-reduction strategies inside a broader compliance program. Most contractors that start with an enclave-only setup eventually need to expand it as new contracts pull more roles into CUI handling, and the rebuild costs more than getting the architecture right the first time.

During your GAP assessment, we map your contract requirements, CUI flow, and user base. Then we recommend the architecture that gets you certified and keeps you certified without rebuilding the environment 18 months later.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we are asked about compliance:

Who needs CMMC Level 2 compliance?
How much does CMMC Level 2 compliance cost?

CMMC Level 2 compliance costs vary based on your employee count, Microsoft environment, help desk needs, cybersecurity plan, licensing, professional services, and third-party audit requirements.

For example, BEMO’s CMMC Level 2 Calculator estimates that an 80-employee organization using GCC High, 24/5 help desk support, and a Diamond cybersecurity plan would have a total CMMC Level 2 investment of about $644,560.

For another concrete example, BEMO’s calculator estimates that a 30-employee organization using GCC High, 8/5 help desk support, and a Silver cybersecurity plan would have a total CMMC Level 2 investment of about $346,360.

That estimate includes managed compliance, help desk, cybersecurity, licensing, professional services, and internal and external audit costs.

Because every contractor’s environment is different, the most accurate way to price CMMC Level 2 is to use BEMO’s calculator and model your actual scope.

What's included in BEMO's managed CMMC Level 2 compliance services?
What Should I Look For In A CMMC Compliance Service Provider?

Look for a CMMC compliance service provider that can do more than provide templates or point-in-time advice. For Level 2, you need help scoping CUI, implementing all 110 controls, preparing evidence, coordinating with your C3PAO, and keeping controls compliant after certification. BEMO manages the full program, so the same team that prepares you for assessment also maintains your environment long-term.
