Overview

CSE helps your company with a 6-week rigorous preparation for CMMC certification, including security and compliance assessment of your Microsoft Azure ecosystem. Any Business that pursuits contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense needs to achieve essential compliance with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). Even if your organization handles Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), alignment with CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 requirements ensures that your cybersecurity posture meets these specific standards.

Computer Solutions East (CSE) delivers an end-to-end Microsoft-based integration to support the CMMC journey from initial assessment, all the way to a fully operational and technical implementation for a long-term compliance. We adjust security measures with frameworks like NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS 7012, by using tools across the Microsoft 365 and Azure ecosystem, to strengthen your work structure and simplify audit readiness.

Furthermore, identity, device and data protection benefits, we incorporate Microsoft Sentinel, a native SIEM and SOAR solution within Microsoft. Sentinel is a key part of CMMC Level 2 audit and monitoring, mainly because it centralizes event logs, enabling real-time threat detection and simplifying incident investigation workflows, all of which are vital to NIST SP 800-171 controls.

CSE’s approach is thorough: we deploy the right tools, controls and documents appropriately, to make sure that your team is prepared for any external audits and long-term governance. Our typical project implementation span is 6 weeks, adapting it to your specific IT architecture and maturity level specifications.
