The complete, ready-to-implement CMMC Level 1 system—built for small businesses to achieve compliance quickly and affordably.
For many small businesses working for the Department of Defense, meeting CMMC requirements can feel overwhelming—especially without an internal IT or security team. We help you meet CMMC Level 1 requirements without hiring expensive consultants or managed service providers, whose services are designed for large prime contractors—not small teams that need a practical, affordable path to compliance.
Trying to build a compliant environment on your own can take months or even years. It is complex, time-consuming, and pulls attention away from your day-to-day work. Branch Compliance removes that burden by providing a complete, ready-to-implement CMMC Level 1 system designed specifically for small businesses. Our structured, step-by-step framework includes the policies, technical configurations, security controls, and documentation required to give you a clear, efficient, and affordable path to compliance.
Been issued a stop-work order?
The CMMC compliance deadline was November 10, 2025. If you’ve recently been warned—or already hit—with a stop-work order from your prime, you’re not alone. Primes across the country are now requiring small subcontractors to show CMMC Level 1 compliance before work can continue.
Time is money — we can help you get compliant and back to work fast. Our system gives you everything you need to become compliant quickly so you can resume work without costly delays.
What is CMMC and who needs to be certified?
To safeguard Federal Contract Information (FCI) against increasingly frequent and severe cyberattacks, the Department of Defense (DoD) developed the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) to ensure FCI is handled appropriately by the DoD contractors. The CMMC model is designed to protect FCI that is shared with contractors and subcontractors of the Department through contracts by requiring companies to demonstrate that they have met existing cybersecurity standards and can adequately protect sensitive unclassified information. Taking CMMC requirements seriously and implementing them in a timely manner has a real and significant impact on national security.
The short answer is almost every company that is involved in DoD contracting as a prime contractor or a subcontractor needs CMMC certification at some level. DFARS 252.204-7021 requires every DoD contractor and subcontractor to achieve and maintain the CMMC maturity level identified in their contract. As of November 10, 2025, this clause is now active and must be met as a condition of award and continued performance. The CMMC program also includes the process for requiring protection of information that is flowed down to subcontractors.
Is CMMC a new requirement?
No, the CMMC certification process is a mechanism for DoD to track compliance with FAR cybersecurity requirements that were promulgated starting in 2013. CMMC does not introduce these cybersecurity requirements, rather it is a mechanism to check if companies are compliant. The requirements to have a secure system have existed for many years and any organizations currently without CMMC controls have been out of compliance.

In alignment with section 4.1901 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), FCI is defined as information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as that on public websites) or simple transactional information, such as that necessary to process payments.
-
While many existing contracts already contain the clause, after CMMC rules are finalized, prime and/or suncontract agreements will contain the DFARS 252.204-7021 contract clause. This contract clause will dictate the minimum CMMC maturity level an organization must have in place prior to being awarded the contract. DoD contracts which only transfer and/or create FCI will require organizations to achieve a CMMC Maturity Level 1 certification to self-attest to compliance with the 17 specified security controls from the CMMC framework. Organizations must satisfy all of the requirements to achieve this maturity level.
