Compliance as a Service for CMMC: Stay Audit-Ready Through the 4-Phase Rollout

Why CMMC changes the operating model

CMMC isn’t a one-and-done project—it’s continuous hygiene across people, process, and tech. With requirements phasing into more contracts over several years, organizations that treat compliance as ongoing operations will move faster and spend less firefighting when the DFARS 252.204-7021 clause appears. ‍

What “Compliance as a Service” (CaaS) covers

• Control maintenance: Patch and vulnerability cadence, log retention checks, MFA/least-privilege reviews
• Policy/procedure lifecycle: Versioning, attestations, training records, supplier flow-downs
• Evidence factory: Continuous collection of screenshots/logs/configs mapped to controls
• Risk & exceptions: POA&M management with due dates and owners
• Executive visibility: Monthly control-health scorecards and remediation burndown

Results you can expect

• Lower audit friction: Assessor-ready artifacts mapped to each control
• Predictable budgets: Replace “big-bang” audit panic with steady OPEX
• Stronger posture: Real fixes, not paper compliance; faster recovery from findings

A simple quarterly cadence

1. QBR & roadmap refresh (prioritize “big rocks” like EDR rollout or log centralization)
2. Control health run (spot-checks across AC, AU, CM, IA, IR, RA, RM, SI)
3. Supplier hygiene (subcontractor attestations and clause flow-down checks)
4. Mock assessor hours (evidence sampling, interviews, corrective coaching)

Why start now

DoD’s 4-phase rollout and growing appearance of CMMC in solicitations mean lagging teams will face schedule risk and award delays. Starting CaaS now spreads the lift over months—and keeps you contract-eligible as requirements expand. ‍
