Defense Contractors

Your Technology Challenges Are Different from Everyone Else's

A network outage for most businesses means lost productivity. In healthcare it means
disrupted care. The demands on your IT infrastructure — and your IT partner — are
categorically higher.

01

Assessment Readiness Timeline

Many contractors have less time than they realize before CMMC requirements appear in their contracts. The C3PAO assessment process takes 3-6 months — requiring remediation work to be complete before the assessment begins.

02

Multi-Site CUI Environments

Defense contractors often handle CUI across multiple facilities, remote staff, and subcontractor networks. Each location and each subcontractor must meet the same control standards — creating a complex, multi-site compliance program.

03

ITAR Technical Data Controls

Defense contractors handling technical data for weapons systems and military equipment face ITAR controls that overlap with CMMC but have distinct requirements — including export authorizations and access controls for foreign nationals.

Compliance and Regulatory

CMMC Compliance & Regulatory Requirements

BetterWorld Technology designs and manages your compliance program as a continuous service — not a one-time project. Your CMMC obligations are covered by the same managed security program that handles your 24/7 monitoring and incident response.

HIPAA HITECH SOC 2 NIST CSF NIST 800-171 42 CFR Part 2

CMMC Level 2 C3PAO Assessment

All defense contractors handling CUI in their operational environment must be assessed by a certified C3PAO and achieve CMMC Level 2 before they can hold DoD contracts requiring it — with rollout accelerating through 2025 and 2026.

DFARS 252.204-7012 Compliance

The foundational DFARS clause requiring contractors to implement NIST SP 800-171 and report incidents within 72 hours has been in force since 2017. Many contractors who self-attested compliance have significant gaps.

False Claims Act Exposure

The DOJ Civil Cyber Fraud Initiative is using the False Claims Act to pursue contractors who misrepresented their NIST 800-171 compliance in contract certifications. The penalties are significant.
