CMMC readiness + compliance execution

Move from CMMC uncertainty to audit-ready posture

Delphius Beacon helps organizations handling CUI translate CMMC and NIST 800-171 requirements into implemented controls, accountable ownership, documentation, and maintainable compliance operations.

Who it is for

  • Defense contractors handling CUI
  • Subcontractors preparing for prime requirements
  • MSPs supporting regulated clients
  • Small organizations without internal compliance teams

Problem

CMMC readiness is not only a checklist. It requires scoping, control ownership, evidence, policies, technical implementation, and a repeatable operating model.

The operational gap

Compliance fails when nobody owns the work

CMMC and security programs break down when responsibility is split across tools, consultants, MSPs, and internal teams without clear execution authority.

CMMC confusion and changing interpretation
No single owner for remediation and evidence
Audit risk from undocumented control activity
Tool sprawl without operating discipline
Lack of executive security leadership

CMMC Levels 1 and 2: the core four, one execution model

Whether you handle FCI (Level 1) or CUI heading toward a Level 2 assessment, the path runs through the same core offerings. Level 1 engagements are the smaller, faster scope of each, typically closing in about 30 days, and that is what the starting price reflects; Level 2 scales with your CUI footprint and environment. We work alongside your MSP, and Continuous Compliance can begin at either level so the posture never decays.

CMMC Gap Report

Starting at $7,500 (one-time)

Know exactly where you stand at your level. A fixed-scope review of your FCI or CUI scope, control gaps, and documentation posture, delivered as a prioritized roadmap you can execute against.

What's included

  • Prioritized readiness roadmap
  • Full gap analysis against your level's requirements
  • Network diagram
  • Data-flow map of where your FCI or CUI actually lives and moves
Starting price reflects Level 1 scope; a full Level 2 gap report typically runs $10,000 to $12,000. The map every other engagement builds from.

CMMC Surge Support

Starting at $20,000 (one-time)

Hands-on remediation on an accelerated timeline: the Gap Report deliverables plus policies authored and gaps closed alongside your MSP, compressed to roughly 60 days or less for teams working against a contract clock.

What's included

  • Everything in the Gap Report
  • Policies and procedures authored
  • Hands-on remediation execution
  • Compressed timeline of roughly 60 days or less
Based on timeline compression and scope intensity.

CMMC Execution Program

Starting at $40,000 (one-time)

Program creation to fully operational: SSP, POA&M, policies, control implementation, evidence, and remediation execution, inside a responsibility matrix that names every control's owner.

What's included

  • SSP and POA&M
  • Policies and procedures
  • Control implementation
  • Evidence package
  • Remediation execution
  • A responsibility matrix naming every control's owner
Scales based on scope, systems, and remediation complexity.

Mock Assessment

Starting at $3,500 (one-time)

A full dress rehearsal before the real thing: every requirement at your level reviewed the way an assessor will review it, with a written findings letter and an organized evidence package.

What's included

  • Full dress rehearsal at your level
  • Written findings letter
  • Organized, ready-to-present evidence package
Walk into the real assessment knowing you are ready. Level 2 mock scoped to your environment.

Then keep it true: Continuous Compliance

The core four get you assessment-ready; this keeps you that way. A month-to-month service that holds your evidence, monitoring, POA&M, and affirmations current so the posture never decays. It can begin as early as Level 1.

Managed Continuous Compliance

Starting at $5,000/month

What keeps the score true after the build: continuous evidence collection, control monitoring, POA&M management, annual-affirmation support, and assessor liaison. We operate the program for you.

What's included

  • Continuous evidence collection
  • Control monitoring
  • POA&M management
  • Annual-affirmation support
  • Assessor liaison
Month to month. Can begin as early as Level 1 so the posture never decays.

Engineering and enclave build

The heavy build, only when your gap report shows you need it. One scoped, fixed-fence engagement quoted from your findings, so the build never runs on an open-ended meter.

Engineering & Enclave Build

Custom-quoted (one-time)

Build discovery from $7,500; the enclave or segmentation build from $45,000, with a full greenfield GCC-High enclave from $60,000. We start with a fixed-scope build discovery that sets the scope fence and plan, then execute the build: network segmentation, a CUI enclave or GCC-High stand-up, and carve-out remediation inside your environment.

What's included

  • Build-scope discovery and plan
  • Network segmentation
  • CUI enclave or GCC-High stand-up
  • Carve-out remediation
  • A responsibility matrix for the new boundary
Scoped and quoted from your gap report. Never squeezed into the Execution Program.

Named outcome bundles

Three ways to combine the offerings for a named outcome. Every rung still sells on its own; bundles are about one accountable partner, and at the flagship tier a predictable flat monthly with ceilings instead of a metered stack.

Ground Truth

Know where you stand, with leadership in place. CMMC Gap Report plus vCISO Essentials.

What's included

  • CMMC Gap Report: readiness roadmap and full gap analysis
  • Network diagram and CUI data-flow map
  • vCISO Essentials: fractional security leadership
  • Monthly leadership cadence, roadmap and policy oversight
Land and lead.

Assessment-Ready

$40,000 one-time + $7,500/month

Get assessment-ready with a CISO running it. CMMC Execution Program plus vCISO Professional.

What's included

  • CMMC Execution Program: SSP, POA&M, policies and procedures

Level 3 and advanced requirements

A small number of programs carry Level 3 or other advanced requirements above Level 2. These are scoped and priced individually against your contracts and environment. If that is you, let's talk.

CMMC Level 3 and beyond

Custom quote

Advanced, APT-resistant requirements above Level 2, scoped to your program, contracts, and environment.

What's included

  • Individually scoped assessment of advanced, APT-resistant requirements above Level 2
  • Priced to your program, contracts, and environment
  • Begins with a scoping conversation
Priced individually after a scoping conversation.

A repeatable path from assessment to maintenance

CMMC work needs a clear operating sequence. Delphius Beacon uses this path to move from scope and architecture into implementation, documentation, operation, and ongoing maintenance.

01

Assess

Map the environment, obligations, CUI flow, risk, and operational constraints.

02

Architect

Design the target state across controls, infrastructure, evidence, and ownership.

03

Implement

Deploy controls, secure access, harden systems, and close practical gaps.

04

Document

Produce audit-ready artifacts, policies, procedures, SSP inputs, and POA&M support.

05

Operate

Run compliance operations, monitoring coordination, vendor risk, and executive guidance.

06

Maintain

Keep the program aligned as contracts, systems, and frameworks change.

The Delphius Difference

Execution, evidence, and ownership for CMMC teams

Execution over advisory

Delphius Beacon is structured to implement, document, and operate controls - not only describe them.

Cost-conscious delivery

The engagement model is built for small and midsize organizations that need serious outcomes without enterprise bloat.

Evidence-driven work

Security and compliance activities are tied to artifacts, ownership, controls, and audit-ready posture.

Scalable for small teams

Programs are designed to fit lean teams, regulated growth-stage companies, and contractor environments.
