DoD contractors face requirements that most MSPs have never seen. DFARS 252.204-7012 flows down to every level of the supply chain. CMMC 2.0 is now required to bid on most DoD contracts. SPRS self-assessment scores are visible to prime contractors and increasingly used as a qualification gate. CUI must be protected with NIST SP 800-171 controls. And all of this has to happen without disrupting your ability to deliver on time and on budget.
inTech Consulting has guided defense contractors from negative SPRS scores to CMMC Level 2 readiness — keeping their DoD contracts alive and positioning them to win new work. We know the regulations, the C3PAOs, the documentation requirements, and the technical controls. Most importantly: we know how to implement all of it without slowing down your operations.
Who We Serve
Direct contract holders with the DoD requiring CMMC Level 2 certification, DFARS compliance, and flow-down enforcement to their subcontractors.
Companies receiving DoD work through primes and needing to meet flow-down cybersecurity requirements. CMMC Level 1 or 2 depending on CUI handling.
Component manufacturers, machine shops, and fabrication facilities supplying parts to defense primes. OT/IT segmentation and CUI enclave architecture.
Engineering services firms, consulting practices, logistics support, and technical services providers working on DoD contracts. Secure collaboration environments.
Industry-Specific Challenges
Full program from gap assessment to C3PAO certification. Most DoD contractors need Level 2 for CUI handling. We've taken contractors from SPRS -45 to +110.
Full compliance with DFARS cybersecurity clause including incident reporting within 72 hours, subcontractor flow-down, and NIST 800-171 implementation.
Segregated network enclaves that isolate CUI from general business systems — reducing CMMC assessment scope by up to 70% and lowering ongoing compliance costs.
Accurate SPRS self-assessment scoring against NIST 800-171 controls. Annual submissions, score remediation plans, and visibility management for prime contractors.
DFARS-required incident response within 72 hours of cyber incidents involving CUI. Documented procedures, DoD Cyber Crime Center coordination, and forensic support.
Prime contractors increasingly audit subcontractor cybersecurity. We prepare your IT environment, documentation, and team for these supplier audits.

Result
$5.2M Retained
A 95-person Pacific Northwest DoD subcontractor received notice from their prime contractor: either achieve CMMC Level 2 certification within 14 months or be removed from the approved vendor list. Their current SPRS score was -45. They had no CUI enclave, no documented incident response plan, and no SSP. Losing this prime relationship meant losing $5.2M in annual revenue — roughly 60% of their business.
"Without inTech we would have lost our biggest customer — and probably the business. They got us certified, kept our contract, and positioned us to win more work. Best investment we've made."

Frequently Asked Questions
The DoD is rolling out CMMC 2.0 requirements in a phased approach starting in late 2025. By 2028, all DoD contracts are expected to include CMMC clauses. However, many primes are already requiring CMMC readiness of their subcontractors ahead of official DoD deadlines. If your contract includes DFARS 252.204-7012 or you handle CUI, you likely need Level 2 — and you need to start preparing now. Level 2 programs typically take 9–12 months.
Not all. CMMC Level 1 (self-assessed) applies to contractors handling only Federal Contract Information (FCI). CMMC Level 2 (third-party assessed) applies to contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). CMMC Level 3 applies to the highest-risk contractors. Most DoD subcontractors handling any sensitive technical data need Level 2. We help you determine exactly which level applies during our initial assessment.
The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) is the DoD's database for tracking contractor cybersecurity posture. Contractors handling CUI must submit annual self-assessment scores against NIST SP 800-171 controls. Scores range from -203 (worst) to +110 (perfect). Prime contractors can see your SPRS score, and many now refuse subcontracts to businesses with negative scores. Your SPRS score is effectively a cybersecurity credit score for the DoD supply chain.
A typical 50-100 person Pacific Northwest DoD contractor invests $30,000–$65,000 for a full CMMC Level 2 readiness program — including gap assessment, CUI enclave design, documentation, technical controls, training, and assessment support. The C3PAO assessment itself is a separate $15,000–$40,000 cost paid to the assessor. See our CMMC Compliance page for full pricing details.
Failure to meet DFARS 252.204-7012 incident reporting requirements can result in contract termination, debarment from future DoD work, and in some cases False Claims Act liability. The 72-hour requirement means you need a documented, tested incident response plan BEFORE an incident occurs. inTech builds DFARS-compliant incident response programs and runs tabletop exercises so your team can meet the 72-hour window when it counts.
For CUI handling, you should work with US-owned-and-operated providers with US citizens accessing your systems. Offshore support, foreign nationals, and foreign-owned MSPs create complications for DFARS compliance and in some cases may violate ITAR or export control requirements. inTech Consulting is a US-based, US-staffed MSP — no offshore support, no foreign national access to your CUI environments.
