If you’re a federal contractor handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), compliance with the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements isn’t just a suggestion—it’s a necessity. With looming deadlines and growing competition, your ability to bid on and win federal contracts depends on how fast and efficiently you can meet compliance standards. The good news? With the right partner and plan, you can become CMMC compliant in just 90 days.

At Valeo Networks, we specialize in accelerating your path to compliance. Here’s what it takes to get CMMC compliant — and how we can get you there faster.

Step 1:

Understanding Your CMMC

Level 2 Requirements

Understanding the scope of CMMC Level 2 is your first step — executing it right is where we come in.

To comply with Department of Defense (DoD) cybersecurity requirements, any user or system that interacts with Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must meet 110 security practices across 14 domains, including:


  • Access Control

  • Incident Response

  • System & Information Integrity

  • Configuration Management

Each of these domains represents a critical layer of your cybersecurity posture—and skipping even one could mean failing your CMMC assessment. This step is all about awareness and readiness - with a trusted partner by your side.

 

Step 2:

Developing a Plan of Action

Once we’ve identified your compliance gaps, we craft a customized plan based on your specific needs, systems, and timelines.

This isn’t a generic compliance checklist—it’s a tailored strategy using Valeo’s CMMC Federal Services platform. Your personalized plan includes:


  • Strategic integration of required security controls

  • Clear prioritization of remediation steps

  • A direct path to scheduling your C3PAO assessment

 

Yes, change is necessary. But if compliance didn’t require change, you’d already be certified. Our job is to make that change structured, strategic, and achievable.

 

Step 3:

Implementing Security Controls

Now it’s time to turn strategy into action. Implementing the required 110 security controls can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be.

With our strategic plan in hand, Valeo’s engineers work alongside your team to implement each control efficiently and consistently across your systems. From access management policies to incident response frameworks, every element is deployed with precision and aligned to your operational realities.

Why does consistency matter? Because inconsistencies create compliance gaps — and gaps can lead to certification failure. Our job is to make sure nothing slips through the cracks.

 

Step 4:

Preparing for Assessment

You’ve done the work—now let’s make it count. 

Our team ensures every detail of the DoD’s cybersecurity requirements is covered, verified, and ready before your C3PAO assessment. That means:

 

  • Delivering fully documented evidence mapped to each required control

  • Confirming that all technical and procedural requirements are implemented correctly

  • Supporting last-minute policy updates and helping resolve any remaining gaps

This is the point where attention to detail separates success from setback — and it’s exactly where Valeo’s expertise ensures nothing is overlooked, missed, or misaligned.
We don’t just hand off a checklist and walk away. We stay with you every step of the way until your certification is in hand.
