Supporting defense contractors with compliance-driven IT solutions
IT for Defense Contractors
At E-N Computers, we specialize in IT solutions for federal contractors.
As a Registered Practitioner Organization with three Cyber AB Registered Practitioners on our team, we deliver gap assessments, compliance consulting, and CMMC compliant managed IT services.
For those looking for support for the entire CMMC journey, your first decision is whether you just want CMMC consulting services (with you or your MSP executing the work) or if you want us to take over your IT work with managed IT services.
Working with you to reach compliance as a managed IT services provider is similar to maintaining your existing house while building you a more complicated new house.
In four to six weeks, we can set you up with managed IT services. On the other hand, clients should expect the journey to full CMMC compliance to take up to two years. CMMC compliant IT services are double the amount of work regardless of who does them. Now is the best time to start this process, regardless of which route you decide to take.
How to work with us
Fill out the contact form and request a complimentary 45-minute CMMC consulting session.
ENC offers short-term CMMC gap analysis services and longer term CMMC consulting services, or we can take on the entire IT workload with CMMC compliant managed services.

DFARS 7012 Compliance
DFARS provides the legal framework for cybersecurity requirements. E-N Computers helps you comply by providing the following services:
- Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Protection: Implementing secure storage, access controls, and encryption for CUI data.

CMMC Compliance
Our CMMC services are built on deep regulatory expertise and hands-on support tailored to defense contractors. With years of experience in DoD compliance, certified engineers, and proven strategies, we help create a seamless path to certification, securing your business’s eligibility for government contracts.
We start with a CMMC gap analysis to assess your current security posture and identify specific actions required to meet CMMC standards. From there, our consultants work with your team to implement necessary controls, manage compliance documentation, and prepare for audits.
Get more details on our page CMMC Consulting Services for Small Businesses.
ITAR Compliance
International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) is a set of regulations that prevents the export or transfer of items or information considered a risk to national security. Defense contractors who handle ITAR data need to use extra caution when it comes to outsourced IT and cloud services to remain in compliance.
At E-N Computers, we don’t offshore our support or engineering. Our local, Virginia-based staff is ready to help you ensure compliance with ITAR through technical and policy controls.
Read our article What is ITAR Compliance for more information about how ITAR impacts your IT strategy.
Microsoft 365 GCC High
Defense contractors have unique requirements when it comes to cloud services like M365. To address these needs, Microsoft offers a special version of M365 called Government Community Cloud (GCC) High. It can help you with DFARS 7012, CMMC, and ITAR compliance. E-N Computers can help our clients purchase and migrate to GCC High at a cost-effective price point.

“ENC has helped us move much further down the road toward
cybersecurity compliance and has been
instrumental in making sure we are on our way to being certified.”

Case Study
Meeting compliance requirements without distraction
NovaTech, headquartered in Central Virginia, provides high-end
engineering and manufacturing services to the nuclear, defense, and
industrial markets.
The business has an advanced technical focus, but employees were distracting by trying to find time to fix IT problems, and they couldn’t keep up with compliance regulations.
“Obviously we were a little behind the power curve meeting security
requirements, hardware standards, and the like,” said Jonathan F., security manager at NovaTech. “We just didn’t have the time to get things in motion.”
NovaTech considered hiring a full-time IT person but quickly realized that they would need more support than a single hire could provide.
The E-N Computers team got to work quickly to reinforce NovaTech’s network and provide front-line support for their employees. The projects team planned and executed a postponed server upgrade project with efficiency
E-N Computers also started helping NovaTech strengthen their cybersecurity posture and work toward compliance with new government regulations. This helped the company to maintain its competitive advantage in a changing marketplace.
As a result of their partnership with E-N Computers, the staff at NovaTech are able to turn their focus back to core business operations and client support.
“Regardless of what the issue is, it seems like there’s always somebody at ENC who knows how to solve it,” said Jonathan. “ENC does a good job at bringing the right people to bear to tackle the toughest problems.”
