How we help
Quick answer: Free education and a free SPRS Defensibility Check on this site; optional paid readiness support through Diversified Tech Solutions. We are not a C3PAO and we do not issue CMMC certifications.
The path most small contractors need
- Learn the landscape — guides and glossary (free).
- Run the free check — non-CUI triage for optimism and signature risk (Defensibility Check).
- Map status → gap → fix — ops playbooks: status mapping, gap process, 30/60/90, cadence.
- Use the checklists — sign-off checklist and shared-responsibility matrix (free downloads).
- Optional: Defensibility Review / readiness work — hands-on help rebuilding a score and package you can stand behind (DTS CMMC readiness).
- If/when required: C3PAO assessment — performed by an accredited third party, not by us.

| Keep docs current yearly | Cadence guide | Annual Maintenance |
| CMMC certification | Accredited C3PAO only — not DTS / not this site | |
What a Defensibility Review is for
The step between the free check and a full 110-control engagement.Fixed SKU: $1,995 · up to 8 hours · 100% up front (viaDiversified Tech Solutions).
- Review of your free DefensibleScore results (or equivalent non-CUI inputs)
- One working session (90–120 minutes)
- Written findings: top risks, scoring integrity issues, go/no-go on signing a SPRS score
- Prioritized ~2-week action list
- $500 credit toward Gap Analysis if booked within 90 days (Gap becomes $4,450—not a refund of the Review fee)
It is not a CMMC certification, not a C3PAO assessment, not a full 110-control gap report, and not a promise of any SPRS number.

How the $500 Gap credit works
Buy the Review for $1,995. If you book Gap Analysis within 90 days, we subtract$500 from the Gap price only ($4,950 → $4,450). The Review fee is payment for Review work already delivered—it is not “lost,” and it is not rolled 100% into Gap.
- Review then Gap (within 90 days): $1,995 + $4,450 = $6,445 total
- Gap alone: $4,950
So the credit softens double-spend; it does not make Review “free” if you upgrade. Choose Review when you need a sign-off / scoring challenge first. Skip to Gap when you already know you need the full 110-control report.
