Defense Contractors · CMMC
Accelerate your path to CMMC readiness.
Right-sized cybersecurity, documentation, evidence preparation, and continuous monitoring for defense contractors that need to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) — without overengineering the program.
Intuitus is a certified Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB).
CMMC 2.0 compliance is how U.S. defense contractors prove they protect Federal Contract Information and Controlled Unclassified Information, using the NIST SP 800-171 controls. Intuitus guides contractors through gap assessment, remediation, SPRS scoring, and audit preparation for Level 1 and Level 2 — turning a complex DoD requirement into a clear, contract-ready roadmap.
The pressure
CMMC is moving from requirement to contract gate.
For most contractors the hard part isn’t the tooling — it’s the evidence, documentation, and sustained posture an assessor will actually accept.
- A low SPRS score putting contract eligibility at risk
- Gaps against NIST SP 800-171 with no clear remediation order
- Policies and procedures that exist on paper but not in practice
- POA&M items that linger without owners or evidence
- Flow-down requirements landing from primes
- Limited internal staff to run a compliance program day to day
What’s at stake
Miss the bar and you don’t just fail an audit — you lose the right to bid.
An audit-ready program protects revenue, keeps you eligible inside an active federal contracting window, and signals to primes that you’re a safe link in their supply chain.
How we help
A defensible program, mapped to the lifecycle.
Prevent
NIST SP 800-171 gap assessment, SPRS scoring support, policy and procedure development, and penetration testing.
Detect
Continuous monitoring and managed detection & response across the CUI environment.
Respond
Incident response aligned to reporting obligations, with evidence preserved for assessors.
Recover
POA&M management, evidence collection, and continuous readiness for the next assessment.
We prioritize remediation by CVSS risk, business impact, and exploitability — so limited resources go to the gaps that matter most. Related: SMB, Supply Chain, Compliance, MDR, and PTaaS.

Why Intuitus
Audit-ready, not over-built.
Right-sized
We protect CUI to the standard your contracts require — without bolting on controls you don’t need.
Evidence-first
Documentation and evidence assembled the way an assessor expects to see it.
“A subcontractor raised its SPRS score and cleared a prime’s flow-down requirement ahead of award.” — anonymized; defense work is typically under NDA.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is CMMC 2.0 compliance?
CMMC 2.0 (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is the U.S. Department of Defense framework that defense contractors must meet to handle Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). It is built on the NIST SP 800-171 controls.
What is the difference between CMMC Level 1 and Level 2?
Level 1 covers basic safeguarding of FCI with 17 practices and annual self-assessment. Level 2 protects CUI, requires the full set of NIST SP 800-171 controls, and for most contracts requires a third-party (C3PAO) assessment.
What is a SPRS score?
SPRS (Supplier Performance Risk System) is where contractors post their NIST SP 800-171 self-assessment score. A current SPRS score is required to be eligible for many DoD contracts; Intuitus helps you assess, remediate, and improve it.
How long does CMMC readiness take?
It depends on your starting posture and scope. Intuitus begins with a gap assessment against NIST SP 800-171, prioritizes remediation, and prepares your documentation (SSP and POA&M) so you are ready for assessment with no surprises.
