Scope first
Identify FCI, CUI, business systems, cloud platforms, external service providers, and assessment boundaries.
CMMC Readiness • Defense Suppliers • Small Business Cybersecurity
CMMC is not a paperwork drill. It is an operating model.
FlightPath Cyber helps small businesses understand where they stand today, identify practical remediation work, and build the documentation and evidence discipline needed for CMMC conversations.

SSP + POA&M Readiness
Why CMMC matters
Defense work now demands proof, not just promises.
CMMC readiness is about proving that the right cybersecurity controls are implemented, documented, and operating inside the business environment that supports federal contract work. For small businesses, the hard part is usually not understanding the buzzword — it is knowing what is actually in scope, what evidence exists, and what gaps must be closed first.
Measure honestly
Compare current controls, policies, and operations against the expected maturity level before buying tools.
Remediate with evidence
Turn gaps into prioritized work packages, documentation, and artifacts that can support review.
How FPC Helps
A practical path from uncertainty to assessment readiness.
FlightPath Cyber focuses on the work that makes a business easier to assess, easier to defend, and easier to operate.
CMMC Scope Discovery
Identify FCI and CUI touchpoints, systems, users, cloud services, providers, and the likely assessment boundary.
Cloud and Identity Review
Review Microsoft 365, identity, MFA, endpoint, sharing, and administrative controls for practical CMMC readiness.
Asset and Data Flow Mapping
Build the asset, network, and data-flow view needed to understand what is in scope and why.
Gap Analysis and Roadmap
Prioritize findings into remediation work, quick wins, owner assignments, and milestone-driven execution.
SSP and POA&M Support
Help structure system security plans, action plans, policies, procedures, and evidence packages.
Assessment Preparation
Prepare leadership and technical teams for assessment conversations without misrepresenting certification status.
Initial Discovery
CMMC initial posture survey.
FlightPath Cyber uses a short public survey to collect first-pass information needed to understand a business's likely CMMC posture before the first conversation. The survey helps identify business context, contract drivers, data handling concerns, and the broad readiness areas worth discussing next.
This survey is not a certification, formal assessment, or paid engagement deliverable. The results are used to help FPC prepare for initial contact and determine what kind of CMMC readiness discussion makes sense.
Context
Business role, contract drivers, and likely CMMC relevance
Signals
High-level data handling, systems, documentation, and readiness concerns
Next Step
A better prepared first conversation without exposing sensitive details publicly
CMMC Questions
Practical answers before the project starts.
Can FlightPath Cyber certify my business for CMMC?
No. FPC can help with readiness, gap analysis, remediation planning, documentation, and evidence preparation. Formal certification must follow the CMMC program requirements and applicable assessment path.
Where should a small business start?
Start with scope. Determine whether the business handles FCI, CUI, or both, then map the systems, users, providers, and workflows that touch that information.
What makes CMMC projects fail?
Common failure points include unclear scope, weak identity controls, unmanaged cloud sharing, missing asset inventory, undocumented procedures, stale SSP content, and evidence that does not match reality.
What does the initial survey do?
The public survey collects limited discovery information so FPC can understand the business context, likely CMMC relevance, and broad readiness concerns before the first conversation. Deeper analysis stays inside a private engagement.
Ready to baseline your posture?
Start the CMMC readiness conversation.
Complete the initial posture survey or contact FPC directly. Bring the contract context, data handling concerns, cloud environment, current policies, and known pain points. FPC will help turn the noise into an actionable readiness path.
