At 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.
*Edwards cannot provide both RPO and C3PAO services (consulting/preparation and formal assessment) for the same organization.
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. Always look for a C3PAO that has the experience and credentials to support your cybersecurity needs.
Edwards was the first organization certified by the Cyber AB to support the entire CMMC ecosystem

Our team of cybersecurity experts is adept at undertaking detailed vulnerability assessments, orchestrating readiness and gap assessments, and offer comprehensive training modules.

The CCP 2.0 Exam Prep class is integral to any individual who wishes to consult for CMMC Preparation, work for a C3PAO providing certified assessor support, or any employee of an organization that wishes to have in-house trained CMMC resources.
Dedicated to helping organizations achieve compliance for 27+ years, Edwards was the first organization to support the entire CMMC ecosystem (C3PAO, RPO, ATP, APP).
More than 36% of CCAs have leveraged Edwards curriculum. We actively train the assessor base; we know what it takes for a successful assessment.
Our assessment teams are experts in numerous security frameworks including SOC 2, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, NIST CSF, HIPAA, CMMC, and CMS MARS-E.
Our experience assessing complex environments allows us to combine risks and controls across multiple systems and the enterprise, providing a comprehensive view of your enterprise risks.
We set you up for success to support the DoD through a formal assessment or compliance consulting to manage risks and prioritized actions based on business needs.
Proactively preparing for a CMMC assessment is essential. While the costs of preparation and undergoing assessments can be significant, a breach or a false claims act can lead to substantial financial penalties and damage to your organization’s reputation. Avoid becoming a statistic—be proactive and prepare for CMMC!
