Defense contractors need more than a binder on a shelf. Get a tested CMMC-compliant plan that actually works when breaches happen.
Not just a document. A complete safety net.
Defense contractors are required to have a CMMC-compliant incident response plan. But a plan that just sits on a shelf won’t protect you when a real breach happens.
Here’s where most companies slip up: they treat the plan like paperwork for auditors instead of a living, tested system. When the day comes, their ‘plan’ fails, and the result is lost contracts, expensive downtime and sleepless nights.
At E-N Computers, we don’t just write plans. We build confidence.
Most incident response plans focus on getting you back online after a cyber event. But a CMMC-compliant IRP has a different center of gravity: protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
CMMC imposes requirements that go beyond what you’d see in a standard IRP, including:
If CUI is compromised, you must notify DoD authorities within 72 hours of discovery.
You’ll need documented proof that you test the plan and train your team on an ongoing basis.
Your IRP can’t live in isolation. It must coordinate with logging, access control, risk management, and other CMMC controls.
And how we prevent it
Many plans assume a full security staff. Ours integrate with your existing IT team, no matter the size.
If the first test is the real breach, it’s already too late. We run tabletop exercises and simulations, so your team is ready.
We build in defense contractor obligations and timelines, so you don’t scramble under pressure.
We define exactly who does what, when, and how, so there’s no hesitation when seconds matter.
Most plans fail when insurers, vendors, or legal counsel are not aligned. We coordinate those players ahead of time in tabletop exercises, so there are no surprises when the real incident occurs.
We go beyond check-the-box compliance
24/7 access to our incident response team, so you’re never on your own.
Recovery plans, communication templates, and procedures to protect contracts and customer trust.
Annual reviews, updates as CMMC evolves, continuous improvement tied to your IT changes.
Documentation that assessors recognize and approve.
Unlike pure consultants, we know your systems. That means we can distinguish real threats from false alarms quickly, saving you the cost of downtime and unnecessary reporting.
We create and validate your plan, train your staff, and give you the evidence you need to satisfy assessors. You own the plan, with ENC available for support.
The plan becomes operational. We don’t just hand it over, we integrate as your 24/7 incident response team, continuously updating and testing as your systems evolve.
With managed IT, you also gain experienced incident managers who can make judgment calls in real time when the evidence is incomplete and business impact is on the line.
“We saw the value that ENC provided through a whole team of experts, and the support and responsiveness they could provide. That level of expertise outweighed what we could do with just one individual.”
