Helping Defense Contractors Navigate 800-171 Compliance

At Defense in Depth, we specialize in helping Defense Contractors across North America meet the cybersecurity requirements outlined in NIST SP 800-171. Whether your organization is preparing for CMMC certification in the United States or aiming to comply with Canada’s new CPCSC program, we provide tailored guidance and expert consulting every step of the way.

We understand the challenges small and medium-sized businesses face when interpreting government cybersecurity frameworks, especially in regulated industries. Our approach makes these frameworks manageable, practical, and achievable.

What We Offer

Gap Assessments: Identify how your current environment aligns with NIST SP 800-171 and where remediation is needed.
Readiness & Remediation Planning: Prioritize actions to close gaps, from documentation to technical controls.
Policy & Procedure Development: Custom-built documentation that aligns with CMMC and CPCSC expectations.
System Security Plan (SSP) & POA&M Support: Clear and audit-ready documentation to support your assessment or attestation.
Guidance on Canadian & U.S. Requirements: Support for both CMMC Levels 1 and 2 and the CPCSC’s Cybersecurity Program Requirements.

Why It Matters

If your company handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in the U.S., or Controlled Information (CI) in Canada, you will soon be required to demonstrate compliance, not just say you’re working on it.

U.S. contractors will need a formal CMMC assessment by a C3PAO.
Canadian contractors will require an attestation or formal audit under the CPCSC.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Getting ahead of these requirements will keep your contracts secure and ensure you’re eligible for future opportunities.
