IT Problems Shelbyville Businesses Can Avoid
The True Price of Working With the Wrong Cloud Partner
Confusion About the Required Compliance Level
Many organizations aren't certain whether Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 applies to their contracts. We sort through the requirements tied to your obligations and help you meet the correct standard. If Level 1 is enough, we'll get you there; if your situation calls for more, we'll guide you through the additional support you need.
Weak Documentation and Missing System Security Plans (SSP)
An audit can't be passed without the right paperwork in place. We create your SSP, POA&M, and every required supporting document from the ground up—or we repair what is already there.
Security Practices That Don't Line Up Across Teams
Compliance depends on consistency. We bring your cybersecurity processes into alignment across IT, HR, and operations so nothing gets overlooked during review.
IT Systems That Don't Match CUI Requirements
Improper handling of Controlled Unclassified Information can derail compliance quickly. We help you separate systems, enforce access controls, and protect storage environments so you align with DFARS and NIST 800-171 expectations.
Unprepared for Third-Party Reviews
Too many businesses get caught off guard when the CMMC assessment begins. We conduct mock audits, uncover gaps, and make sure your team is ready before the assessors arrive.

FAQs
Common Questions About Shelbyville CMMC Compliance Services
What is CMMC v2 and which businesses need to follow it?
How does CMMC v2 differ from the original version?
CMMC v2 is a simpler model that cuts the program from five levels down to three. It also opens the door for self-assessments at Level 1 and removes many of the heavier requirements from the original framework.
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 certification?
Level 1 covers 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 assist with audit documentation?
Yes. We build your System Security Plan (SSP), Plan of Actions and Milestones (POA&M), and related policies from scratch. Everything is designed to be ready for audit review.
How much time does compliance usually take?
The timeline depends on your current setup and the level you need, but many organizations become audit-ready within 90 to 120 days. We provide a custom plan with milestones and weekly check-ins.
What if I don’t get certified?
Without certification, you may lose access to DoD contract opportunities—or be removed by prime contractors that require subcontractors to be compliant. It's more than a compliance issue; it can affect your competitiveness.
Does CMMC relate to NIST 800-171?
Yes. CMMC v2 Level 2 maps directly to the 110 controls in NIST 800-171. We focus on implementing those controls so your compliance foundation is solid across both frameworks.
