If a prime asked for your CMMC status tomorrow, would your team know what is in scope, what evidence supports each control, and whether your SPRS/SSP/POA&M story is defensible?
A short, executive-ready readout of your readiness posture before you spend heavily on tools or assessment prep.
A defensible readiness picture across scope, SSP, POA&M, SPRS support, and evidence — with a 30/60/90-day roadmap leadership can fund.
The Bronze Shield provides CMMC readiness, advisory, evidence organization, SSP/POA&M, and roadmap support. Formal CMMC certification assessments must be performed by authorized assessment organizations where applicable. Client leadership remains responsible for representations, SPRS submissions, and contractual attestations unless a specific authorized role is contractually approved. The Bronze Shield provides readiness support, not certification, audit, prime-acceptance, or DOW-approval decisions.
RMF / ATO Package Triage
Most ATO packages are not stuck because nobody cares. They are stuck because ownership, evidence, and decisions are scattered. The Bronze Shield helps teams recover the path by cleaning up artifacts, aligning evidence to controls, and giving leadership a decision-ready view of what must happen next.
Weak POA&M item
"Fix access control."
Decision-ready POA&M item
"Quarterly access reviews are not consistently documented for privileged users. Owner: IT Operations. Milestone: implement review evidence template and complete first review cycle by [date]. Closure evidence: signed review record, user export, exception approvals."
Weak SSP narrative
"The system uses MFA."
Stronger SSP narrative
"MFA is enforced for cloud administrative access through [approved identity platform]. Evidence includes current admin policy export, exception list, and quarterly privileged access review record."
2–6 weeks, fixed scope. Conducted inside the client- or prime-approved repository, GRC platform, or secure collaboration space. Sensitive artifacts are not copied into uncontrolled systems.
The Bronze Shield supports RMF/ATO package readiness, documentation, evidence alignment, and artifact cleanup. Authorization decisions remain with the applicable Authorizing Official or organizational authority. The Bronze Shield does not guarantee an ATO, risk acceptance, schedule acceptance, or government approval.
Prime & Partner Support
How We Work
Identify the prime, customer, contract, assessment, insurance, or internal pressure driving the need. Align on scope, sensitive document handling, and working access protocols.
Review business units, systems, users, MSP/MSSP role, cloud tools, and FCI/CUI flow assumptions. Confirm system boundary and control ownership.
Review SSP, POA&M, policies, asset inventory, diagrams, SPRS basis, and MSP reports. Document what exists, what is stale, and what is missing.
Identify evidence that is current, stale, missing, contradictory, or unmapped to controls. Produce a prioritized gap list and remediation decision matrix.
Brief top risks, quick wins, prioritized next actions, and a 30/60/90-day remediation roadmap that leadership can fund and track.
Timelines vary by engagement scope. Diagnostic engagements target approximately 1 week. Full sprints run 2–6 weeks. Fractional program leadership operates on a monthly retainer cadence.
