CMMC Level 2 for defense contractors

CMMC Level 2 is becoming a condition of doing business with the DoD. We turn the monitoring you already need into C3PAO-ready evidence—a running SSP, a real SPRS score, a POA&M—so you walk in prepared.

Defense contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information are measured against the 110 controls of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2. The gap most firms hit is evidence: they can describe intentions but can't show ongoing operation. MDRwatchdog closes that by monitoring endpoints, cloud, and identity continuously and mapping every relevant event to the control it supports.

You receive a control matrix that marks evidenced items and flags the rest, plus an SSP and POA&M generated from that live picture and kept current as your environment changes. Your SPRS score is computed from real status, so you always know where you stand and where the fastest points are.

Certification is issued only by an authorized C3PAO; MDRwatchdog is a readiness and evidence provider, not a certifier, and nothing here is legal advice.
