We held our own systems to the full standard first. Now we get you ready.
BrandShyp ran its own NIST SP 800-171 self-assessment across all 110 controls, stood up a FIPS-validated CUI enclave, and filed its own affirmation in SPRS, a CMMC Level 2 (Self-Assessment) posture. We are a two-person firm that did the hard part the hard way. That same playbook, tooling, and the policy set behind it is what we now deliver to small IT and defense contractors who need to be assessment-ready, without a six-figure consulting bill.

Take the CMMC fit check →The clock already started
The CMMC DFARS rule (252.204-7021) went effective November 10, 2025. The phased rollout means the requirement is landing in contracts now.
Phase 1 — Self-Assessment
Through Nov 2026, DoD solicitations carry Level 1 or Level 2 self-assessment requirements. If you touch CUI, you need a real SPRS score, an SSP, and a POA&M today, not next year.
Phase 2 — Certification
From Nov 2026, contracts begin requiring an official Level 2 certification by a C3PAO. The firms that get ready now walk into that assessment instead of scrambling for it.
The cost of waiting
An unsupported SPRS score is a False Claims Act exposure, and a failed gap assessment is far more expensive than getting it right the first time. Readiness is the cheap insurance.
Four ways in. Priced up front.
Tooling-accelerated, so you pay for judgment and deliverables, not consultant hours. Each price is a starting point; we confirm final scope together on a short call, so there are no surprise numbers. Start small, the Gap Snapshot credits toward a full package.
Gap Snapshot
Where do you really stand? A human-validated SPRS gap report and a 60 to 90 minute readout with a prioritized remediation list. The fastest way to a number you can trust.
- Estimated SPRS score, validated by a human
- Top gaps ranked by point value
- Prioritized remediation shortlist
- Credited toward a Gap Assessment or Readiness Package
Gap Assessment
All 110 controls, evidence-reviewed. A full assessment with the artifacts an assessor (and a prime) will ask for, generated from the same engine we run on ourselves.
- All 110 controls assessed with evidence review
- Baseline System Security Plan (SSP)
- Full Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M)
- OSCAL export for prime / eMASS / Xacta ingestion
Readiness Package
From scored to assessment-ready. Everything in the Gap Assessment, plus your policy set and the hardened CUI enclave, built on your hardware and handed over.
- Everything in the Gap Assessment
- Full NIST 800-171 policy & procedure set, branded to you
- FIPS-hardened CUI enclave, build-and-handoff on your hardware
- CMMC Level 2 readiness review
Managed Readiness
Compliance is not a one-time event. A light retainer that keeps your score, documents, and affirmation current as your environment and the rules change. Advisory only.
- Quarterly re-score and POA&M burn-down
- Policy and SSP upkeep as your environment changes
- SPRS-affirmation cadence reminders and advisory
- Rules-change briefings (DFARS / CMMC updates)
Real artifacts, not a slide deck
Every engagement produces the documents your contract, your prime, and your assessor actually ask for.
System Security Plan
A control-by-control SSP scoped to your boundary, the document DFARS requires and assessors read first.
Plan of Action & Milestones
Every open gap, ranked by point value, with owners and target dates, your remediation roadmap.
Machine-readable export
OSCAL JSON your prime or the government can ingest directly into eMASS or Xacta.
Policy & procedure set
The full NIST 800-171 policy and procedure library, branded to your firm, ready to sign and adopt.
Hardened enclave
A FIPS-validated CUI enclave built on your hardware and handed to you, the same pattern we run ourselves.
A defensible score
A number you can actually stand behind, with the evidence trail to support it when someone asks.
See your number first
Walk all 110 controls and get a live SPRS estimate. No login, no cost, no obligation, it is the same scoring method we use. Bring the result to your readiness call and we pick up from there.
This is an unofficial self-assessment estimate, not an official SPRS score. Weights follow the public NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment Methodology (v1.2.1): each unmet control subtracts 5, 3, or 1 from 110. 3.5.3 (MFA) and 3.13.11 (FIPS crypto) offer a partial (−3) state. A few access controls (remote / wireless / mobile) may be scored not-applicable if not permitted in your environment. Mark those as implemented. Your real Basic Assessment must be entered in SPRS.
