Delaying CMMC Cybersecurity
Will Cost You Business.
CMMC is no longer on the horizon. If you’re storing CUI in an ERP that isn’t a recognized FedRAMP-equivalent environment, you’re out of compliance before the auditor asks a single question.
CMMC Self-Assessment Guide.
Rate your shop against all 110 NIST controls before the auditor does.
From Audit Scrambles to Always Ready.
THE OVERBURDENED HERO
Someone in your shop holds the compliance posture together. This could be the quality manager who stays late before audits, the IT person who knows what’s in scope, or the owner who catches it all because they’ve lived through enough audits to have it memorized.
That earned expertise is a single point of failure. When that person steps away, whether for a week, a quarter, or for good, the shop’s compliance posture goes with them.
THE INTELLIGENT OPERATOR
The Intelligent Operator runs a shop where compliance is a structural outcome, not a personal effort. Audits are uneventful not because someone prepared furiously, but because the system was capturing evidence all along.
Audit confidence requires a central system that holds the shop together. Most shops haven’t started. Certified suppliers will face less competition for an increasingly exclusive pool of defense contracts.
Compliance Takes Time. And Time Isn’t Waiting.
NOV 2025
Contract Language Active
CMMC requirements now in new DoD contracts. Primes must verify sub-tier compliance under DFARS 7012/7024.
TODAY
Primes Are Gatekeeping
Suppliers are asked for SPRS scores now. Non-compliant shops are losing bids. Your certification status is visible today.
NOV 2026
L2 C3PAO Mandatory
Phase 2 requires formal C3PAO assessment for all Level 2 contracts. Self-attestation no longer accepted.
NOV 2028
Full Implementation
Complete enforcement across all DIB tiers. Shops that act now will be certified and preferred.
Keep Your Contracts & Win More Jobs.
ProShop is an integral part of the structural mechanism that makes compliance a system-level outcome. Here’s how real CMMC cybersecurity comes together.
ProShop owns the application layer
Secure architecture, audit logs (AU.L2-3.3.1), role-based access control (AC.L2-3.1.5), session management, SAFE+ CUI file management, NIST 800-171 hardening guidance. ProShop is like your flight recorder, logging every access, change, and unauthorized attempt automatically. Every person on the floor knows exactly what to do next.
Every access. Every change.
AWS GovCloud owns the infrastructure layer
Physical server security, network intrusion direction, encryption in transit and at rest, system availability, and disaster recovery. When you host in ProShop’s cloud, you inherit these controls without building a bank vault in your shop.
You don’t build the vault. You rent the safety deposit box.
You own the organizational layer
Physical shop security, local IT and endpoint protection, personnel background checks, training on acceptable use, deprovisioning of terminated employees, and SSP maintenance. These controls are always yours.
Software can’t do this part for you.
RPO + C3PAO own the assessment layer
Your RPO is the coach, handling gap analyses, CUI boundary definition, and SSP building. Your C3PAO is the referee conducting official assessments, evidence reviews, controls testing, and certificate issuance. They verify that your systems can prove compliance.
The coach gets you ready. The referee makes it official.
ProShop is On Track for FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency, Targeted for Summer 2026.
We’re not doing this because we had to. The shops we serve can’t afford to work with CMMC cybersecurity vendors who cut corners.
FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency means ProShop’s cloud infrastructure will have been independently assessed against the FedRAMP Moderate baseline. When an auditor asks whether your ERP vendor’s environment meets federal standards, ProShop customers can answer unambiguously.
Know the Difference: Coach vs. Referee.
ProShop partners with specialized C3PAOs to help shops navigate
CMMC assessment readiness. Here’s the critical distinction shops miss:
RPO — Your Coach
Conducts gap analyses, defines your CUI authorization boundary, and helps build your System Security Plan. Think of them as the consultant who prepares you.
C3PAO — The Referee
Conducts the official assessment, reviews evidence, tests controls, and issues your CMMC Level 2 certificate. The only party authorized to certify you.
