Read MoreAt Edwards, we understand the importance of achieving Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) compliance for Defense Industrial Base (DIB) companies. As an authorized CMMC Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO) and a Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO), we are uniquely positioned to provide advisory CMMC consulting services and support, gap assessments to establish a CMMC plan of action, or formal CMMC Level 2 assessments.*
By choosing Edwards as your CMMC partner, you are receiving high-quality services from experts who understand your industry and are focused on your organizational goals. Our team of cybersecurity experts bring extensive experience in assessing and interpreting standards, guidelines, and best practices to improve cybersecurity programs.
We are dedicated to helping you achieve CMMC compliance and improve your overall cybersecurity posture.

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a unified cybersecurity standard for future Department of Defense (DoD) acquisitions. It is designed to provide increased assurance that a DIB contractor can adequately protect controlled unclassified information (CUI) at a level commensurate with the risk.

CMMC is a game-changer for DoD contractors. It will be included in select DoD Requests for Information (RFIs) and Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and will affect every DoD contractor and subcontractor. Failure to achieve CMMC can result in not being awarded DoD contracts.

Edwards Performance Solutions is the first organization that can fully support the entire CMMC Ecosystem. As an RPO and a C3PAO, we have the capability and expertise to assist with every step of the CMMC journey, from initial consulting and gap assessments to formal Level 2 assessments.

When selecting a C3PAO, it’s important to consider the organization’s credibility, technical expertise, and track record. C3PAOs must demonstrate their ability to protect your sensitive information while providing accurate and reliable assessments.
