The Deadline Is Closer
Than It Looks

CMMC requirements are phasing into Department of Defense contracts, and Level 2 — required for any contractor handling Controlled Unclassified Information — calls for a third-party (C3PAO) assessment against all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls. For Tampa Bay's defense suppliers, the practical reality is simple: remediation, documentation, and evidence collection take months, and assessor capacity is limited. Waiting until a contract requires it is waiting too long.

Independent by Design

DSP Cyber Security is a readiness consultancy with no C3PAO conflict of interest. Your preparation stays cleanly separate from whoever certifies you — led by a CISM, CISA, and CRISC certified practitioner who has passed the CMMC CCP exam.

Tampa CMMC FAQ

Do Tampa defense contractors need CMMC certification?

If your contracts or subcontracts involve Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), then yes — CMMC requirements apply as they phase into DoD contracts. Level 2 applies to organizations handling CUI.

How long does Level 2 readiness take?

Most small and mid-size contractors should plan several months from gap assessment to assessment-ready. Remediation and evidence collection take time, and C3PAO availability is limited — early starts win.

Do you work with subcontractors and small suppliers?

Yes. Much of the Tampa Bay defense base is small and mid-size subcontractors and suppliers to primes — exactly the organizations DSP is built to guide through Level 2 without a full-time security hire.
