Cybersecurity compliance for defense contractors

If CUI flows down to you, the security obligation came with it. We monitor your environment around the clock and generate the CMMC evidence—SSP, POA&M, SPRS score—so your next assessment is already underway.

Defense contractors and DIB suppliers live under DFARS flow-down: when a prime wins DoD work involving Controlled Unclassified Information, the requirement to protect that data flows down the supply chain. The primary framework is CMMC Level 2, built on the 110 controls of NIST SP 800-171, with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 often relevant for broader assurance.

MDRwatchdog monitors the workstations, file shares, and systems where CUI actually lives, maps live evidence to each control, and generates a running SSP, POA&M, and SPRS score. Controls we can prove are marked as evidenced; the rest are flagged for remediation—so you always know your real posture, not a hopeful estimate.

CMMC certification is issued only by an authorized C3PAO. MDRwatchdog gets you ready and keeps you ready; this is not legal advice.

Frameworks for Defense Contractors

Frequently asked questions

What compliance frameworks apply to defense contractors?

For defense contractors, the most relevant frameworks are CMMC Level 2, ISO 27001, SOC 2. Which apply to you depends on your contracts, data, and clients.

Why do defense contractors need continuous monitoring?

Defense Contractors face handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) under DFARS flow-down. Continuous monitoring both detects threats and produces the ongoing evidence that compliance frameworks and client security reviews increasingly require.

Can MDRwatchdog help defense contractors with more than one framework?

Yes. One monitored environment feeds every applicable framework, so a second framework is far more efficient than the first - the underlying evidence is shared.

MDRwatchdog provides security monitoring and compliance evidence to support readiness. It is not a certification and not legal advice. Certification and formal audits are performed by the appropriate authorized bodies (a C3PAO for CMMC, a licensed CPA firm for SOC 2, an accredited body for ISO 27001).
