How the work connects

One coordinated approach. Clear responsibilities.

  1. Requirement What does your obligation actually require? Example: Your contract requires multifactor authentication.
  2. Control Which control meets it, and who owns it? Example: Your access policy and identity platform meet it.
  3. Evidence What shows the control is in place? Example: Configuration records show it’s in place.
  4. Operation Is it working day to day, and would you know if it stopped? Example: Monitored sign-in activity helps show it keeps working.

Why act now

Security and compliance work don’t stop when a deadline moves.

Threats, contract requirements, and the responsibility to protect sensitive information remain. Starting now gives your team time to identify gaps, assign responsibilities, and build an approach you can maintain.

Defense contractors

CMMC Phase II is paused. Your obligations may not be.

Where your contracts include them, Phase I self-assessment requirements and DFARS 252.204-7012 safeguards still apply. The question is what you can defend and document today.

What the Phase II pause means
Covered maritime operators

July 16, 2027 is a real milestone.

For entities covered by the Coast Guard rule, it is the deadline for cybersecurity assessments, plans, and designated Cybersecurity Officers. OT/IT gap work takes longer than a last-minute submission.

Before you reach out

Questions we hear first.

Straight answers to what security and compliance leaders ask before a first conversation.

Have a question about your environment? Talk with our security and compliance team

Security without compliance is incomplete. Compliance without security is a risk. You can start with either service and add the other as your program matures. A consultation helps decide where to begin.

Your service scope defines it. MAD’s SOC monitors, investigates, and escalates with response guidance; your Virtual Compliance Manager drives compliance work with your team; your staff or MSP keeps ownership of your systems and makes changes. We work alongside internal IT teams and MSPs, and partner with MSPs through our referral and reseller program.

MAD’s CMMC Level 2 certification covers MAD’s own operation; it does not certify your organization. Your certification comes from an independent assessment of your environment. MAD is also an Authorized C3PAO, and under The Cyber AB’s Code of Professional Conduct a C3PAO may not assess an organization it advised on assessment preparation in the prior three years.

On July 13, 2026 the Department suspended CMMC Phase II requirements. Applicable Phase I self-assessment requirements remain, and contracts with DFARS 252.204-7012 still require safeguarding covered defense information. Requirements depend on your entity, systems, and contracts. Current guidance as of October 2026.

We talk through your environment, the obligations that apply, and what your team already manages. Then we agree whether MAD is a fit and what a practical next step looks like.
