The challenge

Why CMMC feels different

Two frameworks, double the burden

You already have Australian compliance obligations. Adding CMMC feels like starting from scratch with a whole new set of requirements.

Unclear applicability

You're not sure if CMMC applies to your contracts or what level you need to achieve. The US requirements feel opaque from an Australian perspective.

Limited Australian expertise

Most CMMC consultants are US-based and don't understand how it maps to Australian frameworks like Essential Eight and DISP.

Policies and documentation structured to satisfy both AU and US framework requirements simultaneously.

Assessment preparation

Preparation support for formal CMMC assessment by a certified C3PAO.

Is this right for you?

Who this service is for

AUKUS Programs

AUKUS supply chain participants

You're an Australian organisation involved in AUKUS programs that require compliance with both Australian and US security frameworks.

DoD Contracts

US DoD subcontractors

You have contracts or subcontracts that flow down CMMC requirements and you need to demonstrate compliance from an Australian base.

Dual Markets

Dual-market organisations

You sell into both Australian and US defence markets and need a single, efficient approach to meeting both sets of requirements.

Proof

Real engagements, real outcomes

Anonymised

Federal department

ML2 across a complex, multi-system estate.

Led the department's Essential Eight maturity review using ACSC verification methodology, then ran continuous-assurance activities through annual PSPF reporting and ASD cyber survey submissions — keeping E8 posture live between formal reviews.

Anonymised

Federal agency

Board-ready cyber governance, stood up from scratch.

Delivered executive and board-ready cyber governance papers, stood up a Foreign Ownership Control and Influence process, and supported system accreditation activities across a shared-services environment — so the agency walked into its next review with defensible answers.

Anonymised

Federal agency

3 Security Risk Assessments cleared in one review window.

Scoped, assessed, and reported on three high-priority SRAs in a single calendar year — an enterprise integration platform, a supplier-security uplift, and a public-facing online services portal with paired penetration testing — all delivered inside the agency's assessment window.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need CMMC if I already have DISP?

They serve different purposes. DISP is Australian; CMMC is for US DoD contracts. If you're selling into both markets, you likely need both — but there's significant control overlap that we leverage to reduce your effort and cost.

Can you do the CMMC certification assessment?

We provide readiness advisory — helping you prepare. The formal CMMC assessment is conducted by certified C3PAOs (third-party assessment organisations). We prepare you to pass that assessment.

How long does CMMC readiness take?

For suppliers already working toward Essential Eight, CMMC readiness typically adds 6-12 weeks of targeted uplift depending on the level required. We always bundle CMMC with your existing Australian compliance work to minimise double-handling.

How do we budget for this?

CMMC readiness is scoped alongside Essential Eight or DISP work — we don't sell it standalone because that creates duplication. Pricing is scoped per engagement after reviewing your existing controls.

How is this different from our MSP or a Big 4 consultancy?

Most MSPs don't hold both CMMC and Australian compliance expertise. We run CMMC and Essential Eight / DISP as a single program so one body of evidence satisfies both — no parallel audits or duplicate documentation.
