Manual tracking is killing small DoD contractors.
Spreadsheets. Disconnected tools. Endless copy/paste.
Such is the slow death of well-meaning teams burning hours on compliance instead of winning contracts.
That’s why top DIB leaders are moving to an automated, audit-ready model. They want a simpler, faster and more affordable path to CMMC Level 2 compliance.
Here are 17 ways smart contractors are eliminating manual CMMC headaches in 2025:
- Compliance Management Dashboard
- Automated Pre-Assessment Package
- Enforced Boundary Controls
- FedRAMP-Equivalent Cloud
- Virtual Desktops for CUI
- Integrated SIEM & SOC Support
- 8×5 Enclave Help Desk
- Secure Collaboration for Primes & Subs
- Incident Response Automation
- Role-Based Access Control
- CUI Flow Restriction
- Backup & Log Management
- Continuous Vulnerability Scanning
- Regular User Access Reviews
- SOC-Integrated Reporting for Audit Readiness
- Centralized Compliance Engine
- Automated Policy Maintenance
