  • EVERY KIERI CONSULTANT IS A CERTIFIED CMMC ASSESSOR

Compliance Advice Gets Expensive When It Misses

  • Three consultants, three answers. Conflicting guidance with no way to tell which version an assessor will actually accept.
  • Documentation that reads well and fails anyway. Policies describing intent instead of what your people do on a Tuesday.
  • Controls built for a company you are not. Tooling and process bought for an enterprise, paid for by a sixty person shop.

Guidance From Assessors Who Run Real Assessments

  • We sit on the other side of the table. Our consultants perform CMMC assessments, so the advice you get is the standard you will be measured against.
  • We passed our own Level 2 assessment. DCMA DIBCAC assessed Kieri using the same architecture and documentation we hand you.
  • We tell you when you are finished. Over-preparing costs as much as under-preparing, and we will say so before you spend the money.

Why Kieri for Your CMMC Level 2 Consulting

Well over 50 assessments completed and 400+ organizations supported

Assessors, Not Generalists

Twenty plus Certified CMMC Assessors and Professionals on staff. The person advising you has read evidence packages for a living.

Several Points of Entry

A single SSP review, a 25-hour customization block, a gap analysis, or a full preparation project. Start where you actually are.

No Required Monthly Program

We are not a managed service. You buy hours, you keep the program, and you come back when you need us.

Where CMMC Stands Right Now

What the Phase 2 suspension changed,
and what it did not

  • In July 2026 the Department of War suspended the Phase 2 milestone that would have made third-party certification a condition of award, and opened a review of the program. Your Level 2 self-assessment did not go away. Your SPRS score did not go away. DFARS 252.204-7012 is still binding, including the 72-hour reporting requirement. If you were working toward Level 2, the work in front of you is the same work. What changed is the deadline, not the standard.

How the Engagement Works

Step 1
We Build Your Level 2 Roadmap Together

We start with scope. Where CUI lives, how it moves, and what can be fenced out entirely. Most of the savings in a Level 2 program are decided in this conversation.

Step 2
Documentation That Passes Real Assessments

Policies, procedures, and a System Security Plan built from the Kieri Compliance Documentation, then edited to match how your team actually operates. Pre-written with sample answers for every requirement.

 

Step 3
From Preparation to Certification

A gap analysis that tells you what is left, remediation guidance, and a clear read on whether you are ready. If you want a formal assessment, a separate Kieri team handles it.

Consulting Services for Every Stage

Documentation Review

  • Line-by-line review of your policies and SSP against the assessment objectives, with written findings. Typically a 25-hour engagement.

What a Kieri CMMC Level 2 certification assessment includes

CMMC Level 2 Certification

  • A formal assessment with a readiness check before it starts and remediation close-out afterward, delivered by our assessment team.

Kieri Compliance Advisor

  • A senior consultant on call, roughly one meeting a month, for organizations that want an expert without hiring one.

Full CMMC Level 2 Preparation Project

  • An end-to-end engagement for organizations that want a plan, a schedule, and an expert alongside them until they are ready for assessment.
  • Scoping and CUI. Identify the CUI, map how it flows, draw the boundary, and keep everything outside it out.
  • Documentation and Evidence. A complete document set plus the artifacts that prove you are running the program you wrote down.
  • Technical Implementation Guidance. What the control actually requires in your environment, and whether what you built will hold up.
  • Executive Support. Plain-language briefings so leadership understands the spend, the timeline, and the risk of doing nothing.
  • Handoff to Your Team. You end the project able to run the program yourself. That is the point.

What Sets Our Consulting Apart

  • Practical Scoping. We reward risk-based decisions and a small, defensible boundary. Networks have to stay functional, not just secure.
  • Plain Answers. When a requirement is ambiguous we say so, tell you how assessors are reading it today, and give you a recommendation.
  • Ethical Separation. The team that consults with you is not the team that certifies you. We will tell you up front how that works.

FAQ

Yes. Every Kieri consultant is a Certified CMMC Assessor. The guidance you get comes from people who sit on the other side of real assessments and know what evidence holds up.

No. We do not provide both consulting and formal CMMC assessment to the same client, and we consider the sale of compliance documentation templates to be consulting. We can provide a list of assessment organizations with good track records on request.

No. You buy the hours you need for the work in front of you. A retainer is available if you want ongoing access to an advisor, but it is an option rather than a condition.

Most start with a scoping conversation and a review of your existing documentation. From there we work through requirements with your team, record what is missing on a Plan of Action, and keep going until you are ready.

The underlying NIST SP 800-171 requirements and the DFARS 252.204-7012 clause have not changed, and contractors are still expected to maintain and post a self-assessment score. Preparation work you do now carries forward.

Yes. At our core we are a NIST SP 800-171 readiness and assessment company. CMMC is the Department of War program built on top of that standard, and we work with organizations on both.
