Overview

CMMC 2.0 CERTIFICATION IS NO LONGER OPTIONAL. For small defense contractors, it is the difference between winning contracts and losing them. If you run a small or mid-sized defense business, you are already managing deadlines, production, and client demands. You were not handed a cybersecurity team when you entered the DoD supply chain-yet now you are expected to meet strict security requirements and pass a formal assessment. Most guidance available today falls into two extremes: Written for large enterprise IT departments Too vague to apply in a real business environment That leaves you with the same questions: What exactly do you need to do? How much will it cost? How long will it take? And most importantly can your company actually pass? YES, YOU CAN. THIS BOOK SHOWS YOU HOW. CMMC 2.0 Certification is built specifically for small defense contractors machine shops, engineering firms, and manufacturers who need a clear, realistic path to compliance without relying on expensive consultants or a full IT security team. This is not a theoretical guide. Every section focuses on practical implementation: what to do, how to do it, and how to prove it during an assessment.
