A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Every environment is different. Here’s what to know before we begin.
Explore official CMMC guidanceIs Continuum a CMMC certification body?
Continuum provides readiness consulting, documentation, remediation coordination, and assessment preparation. We do not issue CMMC certifications or guarantee a passing assessment. When a formal third-party certification assessment applies, it must be conducted by an authorized C3PAO.
Do we need CMMC Level 2?
That depends on your contracts, the information you handle, and your assessment scope. Level 2 is generally relevant to organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). We help you review your situation and identify questions to resolve with your prime contractor or contracting officer. Check current contract requirements and official DoD guidance.
Can you work with our IT team or MSP?
Yes. Continuum focuses on compliance readiness and assessment preparation. We work alongside your internal IT team, MSP, and technical specialists to define required actions, coordinate remediation, and review the evidence of completed work. Technical scans and implementation are scoped separately.
What if our SSP exists but is out of date?
We can start with your existing documentation. The first step is to compare your SSP, policies, and evidence against the current environment and applicable requirements, then prioritize the updates and gaps that matter most.
How long does readiness take, and what does it cost?
Scope, systems, current implementation, evidence quality, and internal availability drive the timeline and cost. A discovery conversation helps define a suitable starting engagement. You receive a written scope, deliverables, responsibilities, and proposed pricing before work begins.
What should we bring to the first conversation?
Bring a high-level overview of your business, employee count, contract or prime-contractor expectations, target timing, and current compliance efforts. You do not need a complete evidence package. Please do not submit CUI, contract files, or sensitive technical information through this website.
