From Zero to CMMC Level 2 Assessment Ready

Most defense contractors understand they need CMMC compliance. The challenge is finding a solution that is affordable, practical, and sustainable.

Aethon Guide was designed to bridge that gap.

Our team implements the technical controls required by NIST SP 800-171, develops the documentation required for compliance, and helps establish the operational processes needed to support a future CMMC Level 2 assessment. Organizations can be operational in as little as 30 days, after which they begin generating the objective evidence required to demonstrate compliance.

The result is a practical path from project kickoff to CMMC Level 2 certification readiness in approximately 60-75 days.
