Defense Industrial Base - Government Contracting
Winning and keeping U.S. federal contracts means proving—continuously—that you protect controlled information and meet every flow-down obligation in your contracts. NOXMON guides contractors across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) through CMMC, ATO, SPRS, facility security, counterintelligence, and Insider Threat requirements, then uses RISKMON to keep the underlying controls and evidence audit-ready.
Compliance That Wins Work—and Keeps It
Federal eligibility is gated by a stack of overlapping mandates: DFARS 252.204-7012 safeguarding and 72-hour incident reporting to DoD, the 7019/7020 SPRS self-assessment requirements, the 7021 CMMC clause, and—for cleared facilities—the NISPOM (32 CFR Part 117) administered by DCSA. A gap in any one of them can stall an award or trigger a finding.
Our team has helped DIB primes and subcontractors stand up the programs that satisfy these requirements and survive examination. We do not just deliver documents—we operationalize the controls and load the supporting evidence into RISKMON, where FAIR-based modeling quantifies each open item as financial exposure so remediation budget targets what actually puts contracts at risk.
The same platform that proves your readiness monitors your posture 24x7, keeping your SPRS score, System Security Plan, and clearance obligations current through every reauthorization cycle.
How We Support DIB Contractors
CMMC Readiness & Certification
End-to-end Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification support for Levels 1–3.
- Scoping & Gap Analysis. Define your FCI/CUI boundary and assess against the 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls.
- POA&M to Closure. Risk-ranked remediation tracked to closure ahead of your C3PAO assessment.
- C3PAO Preparation. Build and maintain an assessment-ready evidence package.
ATO Assessment Support
Authorization to Operate (ATO) packages under the NIST Risk Management Framework.
- RMF & NIST 800-53. Control selection, tailoring, and implementation for the appropriate baseline.
- Authorization Package. System Security Plan (SSP), Security Assessment Report (SAR), and POA&M ready for the Authorizing Official.
- Continuous Monitoring. Sustain your ATO with ongoing ConMon and evidence refresh.
SPRS & NIST SP 800-171 Self-Assessment
Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) scoring and CMMC Level 2 self-assessment.
- DFARS 7019/7020. Conduct the NIST SP 800-171 self-assessment and post an accurate SPRS score.
- Level 2 Self-Assessment. Prepare the annual Level 2 self-assessment and affirmation for eligible contracts.
- Score Defensibility. Tie every point of your score to documented, RISKMON-tracked evidence.
Facility Security & Counterintelligence
Administrative facility security management under the NISP for cleared contractors.
- FSO & Clearance Administration. Facility Security Officer (FSO) support, Facility Clearance (FCL), and personnel security clearance administration with DCSA.
- NISPOM Compliance. Visitor control, document control, and self-inspection programs aligned to 32 CFR Part 117.
- Counterintelligence Awareness. CI awareness training, suspicious-contact reporting, and foreign influence/ownership (FOCI) considerations.
Insider Threat Program
Stand up and run a NISPOM-compliant Insider Threat Program (ITP).
- ITPSO & Program Plan. Designate the Insider Threat Program Senior Official and document the program plan.
- Training & Awareness. Role-based insider threat training and an employee reporting pathway.
- Detection & Response. Define indicators, monitoring, and response procedures that respect privacy and legal boundaries.
Additional DIB Services
The surrounding capabilities contractors need to stay eligible.
- Incident Reporting Readiness. 72-hour DFARS 252.204-7012 incident reporting workflows to DoD via DIBNet.
- Supply Chain Flow-Down. Extend CMMC and 800-171 obligations to subcontractors and monitor them as third-party risk.
- Virtual CISO. Fractional security leadership to govern the entire compliance program.
One Platform for Every Federal Obligation
Defense contractors rarely face a single requirement in isolation. The same controls that earn a CMMC certification feed your SPRS score, support an ATO, and substantiate your NISP self-inspection. NOXMON treats them as one connected program. RISKMON maps a single set of control evidence across CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, NIST 800-53, and your facility and insider-threat obligations—so you prepare evidence once and reuse it everywhere, instead of running parallel, duplicative audits.
Because RISKMON expresses risk in financial terms rather than abstract labels, program managers and executives can make defensible decisions about where to invest ahead of a contract award, a C3PAO assessment, or a DCSA review—and prove, continuously, that controlled information stays protected.
Engagement Deliverables
- Compliance Roadmap. A unified plan across CMMC, ATO, SPRS, and NISP obligations.
- Authorization & Assessment Packages. SSP, SAR, POA&M, and a defensible SPRS score with evidence.
- Facility & Insider Threat Program Documentation. FSO procedures, self-inspection materials, and an ITP plan.
- Quantified Risk Reporting. Each gap modeled as financial exposure in RISKMON.
- Incident Reporting Playbook. 72-hour DoD reporting workflows ready before you need them.
- Continuous Monitoring. 24x7 RISKMON monitoring to maintain readiness between reviews.
"NOXMON pulled our CMMC, SPRS score, ATO evidence, and Insider Threat program into one place. When DCSA and our prime came calling, we had everything ready in RISKMON—and we won the follow-on award because we could prove our controls, not just claim them."
