Cybersecurity & CMMC Compliance for Manufacturers
Secure your defense supply chain. Protect FCI/CUI. Build an audit-ready environment without disrupting production.
Who We Help
Cyber9 is built for real manufacturing constraints: uptime matters, vendor access is real, legacy systems exist, and security must be practical – not theoretical.
Machine Shops & Fabrication
Assembly and industrial manufacturers supporting DoD programs
Engineering Teams
Teams sharing drawings, specs, and controlled data with primes and suppliers
Operations
Need practical security without production downtime
Compliance Teams
Need clear scoping to keep compliance affordable
Why Scoping Matters
Most manufacturers struggle because the scope gets too big. We map where FCI/CUI is stored, processed, or transmitted, then build a protected boundary around that environment. Often this means a controlled ‘enclave’ for engineering/CUI work so the entire shop floor is not in scope.
Level 1 vs Level 2 - FCI vs CUI
Foundational Safeguards
- Based on FAR 52.204-21 (15 requirements)
- Annual self-assessment + affirmation
- Protects Federal Contract Information
- Achievable in ~30 days
NIST SP 800-171 Aligned
- 110 requirements across 14 control families
- Self-assessment or C3PAO depending on contract
- Protects Controlled Unclassified Information
- Achievable in ~6 months
Our 5 - Step Implementation Approach
- 01
Discover
Inventory users, endpoints, servers, cloud apps, and data flows
- 02
Scope
Define CUI/FCI boundary; decide enclave vs full environment
- 03
Secure
Implement required controls: identity, endpoints, network, backups
- 04
Document
Policies + evidence package - what you implemented and how to prove it
- 05
Validate
Readiness review + remediation plan + assessment prep
Continuous Monitoring & Risk Reduction
Compliance isn’t a one-time project. Ongoing monitoring reduces risk, catches issues early, and helps keep your environment audit-ready as users, vendors, and production requirements change.
Audit Readiness - Proof Matters
Assessments require proof – controls must exist and you must be able to demonstrate them. We help you organize evidence so audits don’t become a last-minute scramble.
