We just learned a contract requires CMMC — where do we start?

Start with a readiness/gap assessment. It tells you exactly which controls you meet, which you do not, and the fastest compliant path forward, with a realistic timeline and budget.

Can you manage compliance long-term, not just set it up?

Yes. We manage the controls day to day — monitoring, patching, access, and documentation — so you stay audit-ready between assessments as your environment changes.

IT & Cybersecurity for Defense Contractors

Protect Controlled Unclassified Information, meet CMMC and NIST 800-171, and stay eligible for Department of Defense contracts.

Get Started

Compliance Is a Contract Requirement

For defense contractors, cybersecurity is not optional — it determines eligibility. Handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) requires CMMC Level 2 and the 110 controls of NIST SP 800-171 under DFARS. TIP builds and manages the security program that keeps you compliant and competitive for DoD work.

End-to-End CUI Protection

We scope where CUI lives, segment and secure those environments, and implement the access control, monitoring, encryption, and incident-response controls the standards require. Penetration testing and Red Team engagements validate that your defenses actually hold — including insider-threat scenarios relevant to cleared work.

In the Heart of the Defense Corridor

From our Dumfries, Virginia headquarters near Quantico, TIP serves the defense and government-contractor community across Northern Virginia and the DC metro, combining regional understanding with the technical depth these contracts demand.
