CMMC compliance is an add-on to your managed IT plan, not a separate product. Choose your base plan below, then add compliance support if your organization handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or requires DFARS 7012 / NIST 800-171 compliance. The same managed IT foundation also supports ITAR, HIPAA, and other compliance frameworks.
CMMC Level 2 applies to any company that processes, stores, or transmits CUI on behalf of the Department of Defense. If you’re unsure whether that includes you, it almost certainly does.
✓ You’re a defense contractor, subcontractor, or supplier in the DoD supply chain
✓ Your contracts reference DFARS 7012, NIST 800-171, or CUI requirements
✓ You need CMMC Level 2 certification to bid on or retain government contracts
✓ You have a negative or low SPRS score and need a clear path to 88+
✓ You don’t have a dedicated IT person — or you are the IT person — and you need someone to handle implementation, not just hand you a to-do list
✓ You face overlapping frameworks — ITAR, HIPAA, or SEC Reg S-P — and want them managed in one place, not across separate providers
Our CMMC add-on integrates compliance requirements into every operational and support task — so you’re audit-ready every day, not just at assessment time
The CMMC add-on has two components: consulting (flat monthly fee) and tooling (per-user licensing for compliance software).
/month
Policy development, compliance reviews, risk assessments, incident response planning, and ongoing certification support. Our team guides you through every step of achieving and maintaining CMMC certification.
user/month*
Covers higher licensing costs for compliance software (HIPAA, CMMC, FedRAMP, etc.). Actual amounts may vary based on what you’ve already invested in tooling. *Fully Managed customers only. Co-Managed pricing varies by device count.
The CMMC add-on requires an active Fully Managed or Co-Managed plan. Compliance consulting and tooling are added on top of your base per-user rate. See the full pricing calculator →
We offer both. The right choice depends on one question: does your organization have the internal capacity to implement what a consultant recommends?
THIS PAGE
We manage your IT and your compliance. Every daily IT decision — patching, monitoring, documentation, incident response — is made with your CMMC requirements in mind. You don’t need to become a CMMC expert. We handle the implementation, not just the advice.
If getting a gap analysis report with a list of 80 things to fix — and no one to fix them — sounds like your worst nightmare, this is the right path.
+ compliance tooling · requires base managed IT plan
SEPARATE SERVICE
You have internal IT staff — or another MSP managing your infrastructure — and you need a CMMC Registered Practitioner to guide your compliance program. We advise and document; your team implements.
Best if you…
An honest note: Consulting-only works well when you have internal capacity to act on our recommendations. If your team is already stretched thin, a gap analysis without implementation support often creates more stress, not less.
or project-based · no managed IT plan required
Not sure which fits? That’s the most common situation. Our free 30-minute consultation will tell you exactly which path makes sense — and we’ll be straight with you if consulting-only isn’t the right call for where you are right now. Schedule a free consultation →

Most clients start with a negative or low SPRS score. Here’s how we move you to certified.
Not sure what CMMC managed IT actually looks like day-to-day? Watch our overview to see how we integrate compliance into your IT operations from the start.
After 30 years serving businesses in our community, our founder and CEO knows that technology decisions can make or break a growing company.
We didn’t get into CMMC compliance to chase a trend or take advantage of businesses under compliance pressure. When the Department of Defense announced CMMC requirements, our long-term manufacturing and engineering clients – companies we’d served for years – needed our help. We couldn’t abandon partners who trusted us, so we invested heavily in becoming CMMC experts.
We developed real-world compliance skills by solving actual problems, not from reading textbooks. Now we’re able to share that hard-earned expertise with other companies facing the same challenges.
Unlike national MSPs with revolving account managers and corporate red tape, you’ll work directly with local business owners who understand your challenges because we’ve lived them ourselves — including the compliance journey.
We’ve helped dozens of local firms grow from small operations to regional leaders. When you succeed, our community succeeds — and that’s been our driving motivation for three decades.
Most defense contractors in the DoD supply chain require Level 2. Here’s how to know where you stand.
LEVEL 1
17 practices from FAR 52.204-21. Annual self-attestation — no third-party assessment required.
Applies if you…
Self-attestation. No C3PAO assessment required.
LEVEL 2 – MOST COMMON
110 practices from NIST 800-171. Triennial third-party assessment by a certified C3PAO.
Third-party C3PAO assessment required. This is what we specialize in.
Real defense contractors. Real compliance outcomes. No consultants who hand you a list and disappear
A Richmond-area aviation contractor is well on their way to CMMC compliance—without overwhelming their business with IT costs. For over six years, they’ve partnered with us for managed IT services that include both daily support and long-term compliance work.
We helped them move from a negative SPRS score to a perfect 110. Along the way, we handled everyday IT needs like user support, network upgrades, and cloud migrations—so their team could stay productive while we tackled the technical and security requirements of CMMC.
One of the biggest milestones was migrating their systems to Microsoft GCC High, a DoD-approved cloud platform. This major upgrade meant rebuilding security policies, managing all devices, and preparing for the audit—work that’s only possible when your IT and compliance strategy work together.
That’s the power of a managed IT services partner who understands both IT operations and CMMC.
A Central Virginia engineering and manufacturing firm serving defense and nuclear markets was drowning in IT issues while struggling to meet CMMC compliance deadlines. Their small team couldn’t keep up with both daily IT fires and the complex requirements of 110 security controls.
Rather than hiring multiple internal IT staff—which would have cost $200K+ annually—they partnered with E-N Computers for comprehensive CMMC managed IT services.
Results:
Now their team works stress-free, knowing their IT and compliance are handled by certified experts who understand defense contractor requirements.
How do I know if I handle CUI?
CUI is any information the government creates or possesses that requires safeguarding per law, regulation, or policy. In practice, if your contracts involve technical drawings, engineering specifications, design files, test data, or any information marked “CUI”, you almost certainly handle it. If you’re unsure, a scoping conversation with our team will tell you definitively — at no charge. Or you can review our article What is CUI and should I worry about it?
What’s an SPRS score and why does it matter?
What’s an SPRS score and why does it matter?
The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) score is your self-reported NIST 800-171 compliance score, ranging from -203 to 110. A score of 110 means full compliance; negative scores mean significant gaps. Contracting officers can and do check SPRS scores when evaluating bids. A low or negative score can cost you a contract before you ever get to a proposal. To achieve CMMC Level 2 certification, generally you’ll need a minimum score of 88 with a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M). Read more about SPRS in our article How to calculate your SPRS score.
How long does CMMC Level 2 certification take?
It depends heavily on your starting point. Organizations with mature IT environments and some existing security practices may reach assessment-ready status in 6–9 months. Those starting from a low or negative SPRS score typically need 12–18 months of active remediation. The sooner you start, the more flexibility you have — contracts with CMMC requirements are already being awarded, and the enforcement timeline is compressing.
We only have a few people who handle sensitive data. Do we still need full compliance?
Possibly not for your entire organization. CMMC applies to the systems and people within your “assessment scope” — meaning where CUI lives and who touches it. If you can clearly isolate CUI handling to a subset of users and systems, it may be possible to limit the scope of your assessment and reduce cost. We work through this during scoping to make sure you’re not complying beyond what’s actually required.
We’re subject to HIPAA / SEC Reg S-P / ITAR, not CMMC. Is this add-on relevant to us?
This add-on was built specifically for CMMC, but many of the controls it addresses — access management, incident response, audit logging, encryption — overlap significantly with requirements like HIPAA, ITAR, and SEC Regulation S-P. If you’re navigating multiple compliance obligations, the work rarely goes to waste.
That said, if CMMC isn’t your primary concern, the better first step is a conversation. We’ll help you figure out what actually applies to your situation before recommending a path forward.
