IT Problems Frankfort Businesses Can Avoid
The Real Cost of Choosing the Wrong Cloud Partner
Not Knowing Which Compliance Tier Applies
Many organizations are uncertain whether Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 fits their contract obligations. We help you sort through the requirements tied to your work and point you to the right standard. If Level 1 is the correct path, we'll get you there; if your situation calls for more, we'll guide you through the extra steps.
Weak Documentation and Missing System Security Plans (SSP)
An audit won't go far without the right documents in place. We create your SSP, POA&M, and all supporting materials from the ground up—or strengthen the documents you already have.
Security Practices That Vary by Department
Compliance depends on everyone working from the same process. We align your cybersecurity processes across IT, HR, and operations so important details stay consistent throughout review.
Systems That Do Not Meet CUI Handling Standards
Improper handling of Controlled Unclassified Information can quickly threaten compliance. We help you segment systems, strengthen access controls, and secure storage environments so you satisfy DFARS and NIST 800-171 expectations.
Unprepared for a Third-Party Review
Many businesses are caught off guard when the CMMC assessment begins. We run mock audits, uncover gaps, and make sure your team is ready before assessors arrive.

FAQs
Common Questions About Frankfort CMMC Compliance Services
What is CMMC v2, and which businesses must follow it?
How is CMMC v2 different from the original version?
CMMC v2 is a more streamlined model that cuts the program from five levels to three. It also permits self-assessments at Level 1 and removes many of the stricter requirements found in the original framework.
What separates Level 1 from Level 2 certification?
Level 1 includes basic cyber hygiene and can be self-assessed each year. Level 2 requires compliance with all 110 NIST 800-171 controls and, for most contractors, a third-party assessment every three years. At this time, Argentum is only able to help businesses reach Level 1 CMMC compliance.
Can Argentum IT help with audit documentation?
Yes. We build your System Security Plan (SSP), Plan of Actions and Milestones (POA&M), and related policies from the ground up. Everything is designed to support audit review.
How long does compliance usually take?
The timeline depends on your current environment and the level you need, but many organizations become audit-ready within 90 to 120 days. We deliver a custom plan with milestones and weekly check-ins.
What happens if I don't get certified?
Without certification, you may lose access to DoD contract opportunities—or be dropped by prime contractors that require subcontractors to be compliant. It's more than a compliance issue; it can affect your competitiveness.
Is CMMC connected to NIST 800-171?
Yes. CMMC v2 Level 2 maps directly to the 110 controls in NIST 800-171. We focus on putting those controls in place so your compliance foundation is strong across both frameworks.
