Maintaining CMMC compliance isn't a one-time event—it's an ongoing commitment. Our continuous monitoring services ensure your security posture remains assessment-ready 24/7/365, with automated compliance tracking and real-time threat detection specifically designed for NIST 800-171 controls.
CMMC continuous monitoring is the automated, real-time assessment of your security controls to ensure ongoing compliance with NIST 800-171 requirements. Unlike the C3PAO assessment that happens every three years, continuous monitoring provides daily verification that your 110 security controls remain properly configured and effective.
Think of it as a "health monitor" for your compliance posture—detecting configuration drift, unauthorized changes, failed security controls, and emerging vulnerabilities before they become assessment findings or security incidents.
Identify security control failures, configuration drift, and compliance gaps immediately—not months later during an audit. Receive automated alerts when controls deviate from CMMC requirements.
Maintain continuous readiness for your C3PAO assessment. Our dashboards provide real-time evidence that you're meeting all 110 NIST 800-171 controls, reducing assessment preparation time from months to days.
Automatically collect and organize audit logs, security events, and compliance artifacts required for CMMC assessment. Quarterly compliance reports document your ongoing adherence to security controls.
Our continuous monitoring services are included in all Managed CUI Environment packages and available as a standalone service for organizations managing their own CMMC compliance.
Before engaging any consultant, understand the costs. Our free calculators provide instant estimates with no sales pressure.
Comprehensive budget analysis with scenario planning (conservative/likely/aggressive). Ideal for detailed financial planning and board presentations.

A C3PAO (Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization) is an independent organization authorized by the CMMC Accreditation Body to conduct official CMMC Level 2 assessments. BomberJacket Networks is Minnesota's only C3PAO-authorized organization, meaning we're the only local company qualified to conduct official CMMC assessments that result in CMMC certification located in Minnesota.
Assessment timelines vary based on your organization's size and complexity. A CMMC Level 2 assessment can be as short as 3.5 days for an all virtual enclave environment next to weeks for a Prime that has multiple sites with CUI on premise gear and printing. The DoD requires C3PAOs to have three CCAs assigned to each assessment: a lead assessor, second CCA, and a QA assessor.
Level 1 (17 practices): Basic cybersecurity hygiene to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI). Requires annual self-assessment.
Level 2 (110 practices): Comprehensive protection for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) aligned with NIST SP 800-171. Requires C3PAO assessment every 3 years. This is the most common level for DoD contractors.
Level 3 (134 practices): Advanced protection against APTs, including all Level 2 requirements plus 24 additional NIST SP 800-172 controls. Required for critical national security programs with government-led assessment.
If your contract involves CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information), you'll need CMMC Level 2 certification before a contract can be awarded. The DoD has begun enforcing CMMC requirements in new contract awards. Even if not yet required for your current contracts, getting certified now demonstrates commitment to cybersecurity and positions you competitively for future contracts.
Our pre-assessment includes a comprehensive gap analysis against all 110 NIST SP 800-171 practices, readiness scoring, prioritized remediation roadmap, and executive summary for leadership. We use the same assessment methodology as the formal C3PAO assessment, so you'll know exactly where you stand. Most organizations find 20-40 gaps initially, and our pre-assessment helps you address these systematically before the official assessment.

If you believe your CMMC assessment was affected by malfeasance, unethical conduct, or assessor error, you have the right to formally appeal under ISO/IEC 17020 and 32 CFR §170.9.
Unmanaged IoT and OT devices can sit inside your CMMC assessment scope without anyone noticing until an assessor does. Here is how defense contractors should scope, segment, and secure them before Level 2 assessment day.
A CMMC assessment works a lot like a courtroom. Before assessment day, contractors run their own discovery, gather evidence, and line up the right people. Here is how that mindset shapes the outcome.
AU.L2-3.3.7 calls out time synchronization for a reason. In CMMC, good time is evidence, correlation, response, and accountability. Here is why it matters.
