CMMC READINESS & IMPLEMENTATION
Cyber AB Registered Practitioner
Organization for CMMC Readiness
Earthling Security is a Cyber AB Registered Practitioner Organization (RPO) that helps defense contractors and organizations in the Defense Industrial Base prepare for CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 requirements.
Our team combines compliance advisory, technical implementation, secure architecture, documentation, evidence preparation, and ongoing operational support to help organizations build a defensible and sustainable CMMC readiness program.
What Cyber AB RPO Status Means
Earthling Security’s RPO status identifies the company as an organization recognized within the Cyber AB ecosystem to provide non-certified CMMC consulting, implementation, and readiness support.
RPO services help organizations understand applicable requirements, identify gaps, implement safeguards, develop required documentation, organize objective evidence, and prepare for self-assessments or certified third-party assessments.
An RPO supports readiness and implementation. An RPO does not grant CMMC certification and does not replace an authorized or accredited C3PAO when a certified assessment is required.
How Earthling Supports CMMC Readiness
CMMC readiness is not a single document or technology purchase. It requires a defined assessment boundary, implemented safeguards, current documentation, objective evidence, clear ownership, and operating practices that can be sustained over time.
CMMC Applicability and Contract Review
Review contract language, customer requirements, FCI and CUI exposure, and the likely CMMC level so the organization can plan around actual obligations.
CUI Flow and Assessment Boundary
Map where CUI enters, moves through, is stored, is transmitted, and leaves the organization. Define which users, systems, locations, cloud services, vendors, and security assets are in scope.
Gap Analysis and Remediation Roadmap
Evaluate the current environment against applicable CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 requirements. Prioritize gaps, assign owners, establish milestones, and identify dependencies.
Technical Control Implementation
Translate requirements into practical safeguards across identity, access, logging, configuration management, vulnerability management, endpoint security, network architecture, and cloud environments.
Documentation and Evidence Readiness
Develop or update the SSP, policies, procedures, POA&M records, responsibility matrices, diagrams, inventories, and evidence packages so they accurately reflect operations.
Continuous Readiness and Managed Support
Maintain readiness through recurring evidence review, access review, vulnerability remediation, configuration monitoring, documentation updates, incident response testing, and executive reporting.
CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 Support
CMMC Level 1
Level 1 applies to organizations that handle Federal Contract Information (FCI). Earthling helps organizations confirm scope, evaluate implementation of the applicable safeguarding requirements, organize self-assessment evidence, and prepare leadership for required affirmations.
CMMC Level 2
Level 2 applies to organizations that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and is based on the 110 security requirements in NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2. Earthling supports boundary definition, control implementation, secure architecture, SSP and POA&M development, evidence readiness, and operational preparation for assessment.
