Get CMMC Certified in 4 Months — at Up to 80% Less Cost
An AI-powered, all-inclusive path to CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 compliance, built for defense contractors with 1 to 1,000 employees. Plans start at $1,000/month. Because achieving CMMC shouldn't require a $300K budget or an army of consultants.
No commitment. 30-minute call. Immediate clarity on your path forward.
What Is CMMC, and Who Needs It?
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the Department of Defense's framework for verifying that contractors actually protect the sensitive information they handle. If your company holds a DoD contract, or subcontracts with one, and touches Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), CMMC applies to you, whether you're a prime or a small supplier several tiers down the chain.
Espresso Labs is an AI-powered CMMC compliance software platform that automates much of the heavy lifting behind NIST 800-171 compliance and CMMC certification, including policy documentation, control enforcement, and evidence collection, so you spend less time on manual work and more time running your business.
Still Not CMMC Ready?
This Is Your Window, Not a Reprieve.
The DoD's recent 60-day pause on CMMC contract requirements has left many contractors thinking they can put compliance off. That's a costly mistake. The pause affects contract enforcement timing only. It does not waive or change the underlying NIST 800-171 requirements you're already obligated to meet under DFARS 252.204-7012.
You're still required to have a current System Security Plan and an accurate SPRS score on file. Misrepresenting your compliance status, even unintentionally, is a False Claims Act liability that carries real financial and legal exposure, pause or no pause.
Use this window while it's open. Contractors who get compliant now will be certified and ready the moment enforcement resumes. Everyone else will be scrambling against the same deadline, again.
