Roadmap to CMMC Readiness: The Clock Is Ticking

ree

The final CMMC rule will soon be codified into 48 CFR, and with it, compliance will no longer be optional. The question isn't if you'll need to meet CMMC, it's when, and more importantly, how fast you can get there.


Whether you're a small subcontractor or a prime with years of federal experience, you don’t have time to waste. But the good news? You don’t need years of prep work to be ready.


With the right partner and the right plan, you can move your organization from behind the curve to compliance-ready, without disrupting daily operations.


TMGC is here to show you how. Your CMMC Readiness Roadmap


Assess & Align

The first step is clarity.

  • Identify your CMMC level

  • Confirm scoping and boundaries

  • Perform a gap assessment

  • Document your System Security Plan (SSP)

  • Prioritize deficiencies based on risk and impact

Tip: This is where most contractors fail, trying to jump ahead without clearly defining their CUI environment or understanding what controls actually apply.


Remediate & Implement

Now that you know where you stand, it’s time to close the gaps.

  • Implement missing technical controls (MFA, logging, backups)

  • Harden endpoint, server, and cloud configurations

  • Define policies and procedures aligned to NIST 800-171

  • Train staff on cybersecurity responsibilities

Tip: Focus on getting to “good enough” first. Perfection isn’t required; measurable progress with documentation is.


Document & Demonstrate

This is the phase that primes and assessors care about.

  • Finalize your POA&M (Plan of Action & Milestones)

  • Package evidence for assessor review

  • Prepare executive summary reports for prime contractors

  • Schedule your third-party assessment (if applicable)

  • Submit artifacts if participating in the SPRS or DoD initiative

Tip: You don’t need a full audit to win work. but you do need documentation to prove your readiness.


Why This Roadmap Works

Too many MSPs offer vague advice and long timelines. TMGC takes a structured, accelerated approach:

  • We scope your environment and controls with precision.

  • We do the heavy lifting, implementation, documentation, and reporting.

  • We stick to your timeline and your budget.

  • We prep you not just for the audit, but for real-world prime scrutiny.

We’ve guided contractors through this process before, and we know exactly where bottlenecks occur, how assessors think, and what primes expect to see.


Don’t Wait for the Rule to Drop

The backlog for CMMC assessments will grow rapidly once 48 CFR is finalized. If you start then, you’ll be too late.


You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to start, and show meaningful, documented progress.
