Do I need GCC High for CMMC Level 2 compliance?

It depends on the type of federal data you handle. For most government contractors, Microsoft GCC is sufficient. However, if you handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) that is subject to specific Department of Defense (DoD) regulations, you may need GCC High. We'll help you assess your requirements and choose the right environment to ensure full compliance.

What level of CMMC applies to our current or future contracts?

The CMMC level required is specified in each Request for Proposal (RFP) or contract. Most government contractors will need to achieve CMMC Level 2, which requires a third-party assessment and a focus on protecting CUI. We can help you identify your specific requirements and build a clear plan to meet them.

Can Ntiva help us submit or improve our SPRS score?

Yes. Your Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) score is based on your NIST 800-171 self-assessment. We’ll conduct a thorough gap analysis to identify and remediate deficiencies, helping you create an accurate System Security Plan (SSP) and Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) to improve your score.

How do we prepare for a C3PAO audit?

Preparing for a C3PAO audit involves a lot more than just having the right technology. We'll help you organize all necessary documentation, including your System Security Plan (SSP), policies, and procedures. We'll also help you implement the necessary controls and provide training to ensure your team is ready for the assessment.

What’s required for a complete System Security Plan (SSP)?

A complete System Security Plan (SSP) is a comprehensive document that details your security environment. It includes a description of your system boundaries, a list of all security controls, and a detailed explanation of how each control is implemented. It also needs to show how you are addressing any gaps found in your NIST 800-171 assessment.

Can we outsource IT to Ntiva and still meet compliance requirements?

Yes, you can. In fact, outsourcing to a managed service provider (MSP) with expertise in government contracting is often the most efficient way to meet compliance requirements. We become an extension of your team, providing the necessary expertise and documentation to ensure your IT environment meets all federal regulations.
