Scaling a Defense Contractor
Supporting a defense contractor from a 3-person office to a 100+ employee multi-state operation, meeting CMMC requirements and enabling a successful acquisition.
The Challenge
A small defense contractor needed to mature their security posture, scale infrastructure for government contracts, and prepare for vendor audits and eventual exit. They required strict controls, repeatable processes, and reliable growth planning.
Our Approach
CMMC & Compliance Roadmap
We implemented controls mapped to CMMC requirements, established documentation and audit trails, and operationalized policies so the company met standards required for defense contracts.
Scale & Performance
Infrastructure planning, secure remote access, and standardized deployment pipelines allowed rapid hiring and onboarding while keeping systems consistent across states.
M&A Readiness
We prepared technical due diligence artifacts, hardened security controls, and supported infrastructure scaling that increased company valuation and facilitated a smooth acquisition.
Results
Contract Eligibility
Achieved required security maturity to pursue and win larger government contracts.
Valuation & Exit
Infrastructure maturity and audit-ready controls contributed to a multi-million dollar valuation and successful acquisition by a strategic buyer.
