Our CMMC compliance solutions help Defense Industrial Base (DIB) organizations navigate the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework across all Levels—from Level 1 basic cybersecurity protecting Federal Contract Information (FCI), through Level 2 advanced controls aligned with NIST SP 800-171 for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Controlled Technical Information (CTI), to Level 3 expert defenses against Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and their Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs).
We guide Organizations Seeking Certification (OSC) and Organizations Seeking Assessment (OSA) through every phase: developing your System Security Plan (SSP), building a compliant Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) to address temporary deficiencies, conducting self-assessments, and preparing for formal C3PAO certification assessments by Certified Assessors (CA).
Our services span all security domains including Access Control (AC), Audit and Accountability (AA), Configuration Management (CM), Identification and Authentication (IA), Incident Response (IR), Risk Management (RM), System and Communications Protection (SC), Physical Protection (PE), Personnel Security (PS), Recovery (RE), Situational Awareness (SA), and Media Protection (MP)—ensuring your Information System (IS) meets 32 CFR and 48 CFR requirements under DFARS and the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).
Whether you're a prime contractor or subcontractor, handling Covered Defense Information (CDI) or working toward FedRAMP authorization, we help you implement granular access restrictions, policy enforcement, and attribute-based access control (ABAC) to reduce cyber risk and satisfy DoD contractual obligations through the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) and eMASS platforms.

Policies and controls are in place — but they fail when tested properly, because they were never operated consistently.

The documents are there, but they're incomplete, inconsistent, or too weak to survive an assessor's challenge.

System boundaries that seem reasonable on paper unravel under real assessment — widening exposure and risk.
CMMC failure rarely comes from lack of effort — it comes from false confidence.
CMMC exposes gaps that traditional compliance approaches miss.
Black Kyte 17 operates as an independent assurance function — not just a consultancy.
We don’t ask “does this exist?”
We test “does this hold up under assessment?”
CMMC isn’t just another certification to tick off — it’s becoming the line between staying in the defence supply chain and being pushed out of it. Most organisations already have policies, controls, and documentation in place, but that’s not what’s being tested anymore. What matters now is whether those controls actually work, whether the evidence holds up when challenged, and whether your scope makes sense under real scrutiny. That’s where things start to break. CMMC forces a shift from looking compliant on paper to being able to prove, clearly and confidently, that your security stands up in practice — and for many, that’s the difference between winning work and losing it.
