San Diego CMMC Level 2 Consulting for Manufacturers

Protect CUI. Stay eligible for defense work. Keep production moving.

Noble Technology Group provides San Diego CMMC consulting and NIST SP 800-171 consulting for manufacturers that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

We help machine shops, aerospace suppliers, engineering firms and defense contractors define their CUI environment, identify security gaps, complete approved improvements, develop usable documentation and organize evidence without losing sight of production.

Plan My CMMC Readiness Review

Bring your solicitation, customer flow-down, SPRS score, SSP or open questions. We'll help identify the most practical next step.

Do Any of These Sound Familiar?

  • A prime contractor asked for your SPRS score or assessment status.
  • A customer mentioned CMMC or NIST SP 800-171.
  • Your team is unsure where CUI is stored or transmitted.
  • You have an SSP, but it may not reflect your current environment.
  • A consultant found gaps, but no one has implemented the fixes.
  • You have policies but limited evidence that anyone follows them.
  • Security improvements must be completed without disrupting production.

If so, start with a CMMC readiness review.

What Is CMMC Level 2?

Program status reviewed October 7, 2026:
CMMC Phase II implementation was suspended on July 13, 2026 while the program undergoes review. Contractors should verify current contract requirements and official guidance.

CMMC Consulting Built for Manufacturing

A factory does not operate like a standard office.

A security change that looks simple on paper can interrupt engineering, block access to drawings, delay production, or create quality issues if it is not planned properly.

That's why manufacturing requires a different approach to cybersecurity and compliance.

Noble Technology Group helps manufacturers, aerospace suppliers, machine shops, and defense contractors strengthen cybersecurity without losing sight of production schedules, customer commitments, and operational realities.

We understand that systems supporting engineering, quality, production, Microsoft 365, CAD/CAM workflows, ERP platforms, shared drives, and customer data often play a critical role in day-to-day operations.

Our approach starts with understanding how information moves through your organization. We help identify where Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) exists, who needs access to it, which systems support it, and where security or documentation gaps may create risk.

We help manufacturers:

  • Identify CUI throughout engineering, production, quality, and administrative workflows
  • Define realistic compliance and assessment boundaries
  • Reduce unnecessary scope where appropriate
  • Align cybersecurity practices with NIST SP 800-171 requirements
  • Improve documentation, policies, and operational procedures
  • Strengthen technical safeguards such as MFA, endpoint protection, logging, backup protection, and Microsoft 365 security
  • Build evidence that demonstrates how security practices are actually being performed
  • Plan approved improvements around production schedules and maintenance windows

The goal is not to make your shop operate like a software company.

The goal is to help you protect sensitive information, meet customer requirements, and build a cybersecurity program that works in the real world of manufacturing.

Because cybersecurity requirements may change, but production still has to run tomorrow morning.

Where CUI May Appear in Manufacturing

  • Engineering drawings
  • Technical specifications
  • CAD and CAM files
  • CNC programming workflows
  • Work instructions
  • Bills of materials
  • Quality and inspection records
  • Customer and supplier portals
  • Email and shared drives
  • Archives and backups

What Our CMMC Level 2 Consulting Includes

CMMC Readiness Assessment

Review your current environment, security practices, documentation, and available evidence to identify compliance gaps, technical risks, and improvement priorities. The assessment provides a clear understanding of where you stand today and what should happen next.

NIST SP 800-171 Gap Analysis

Compare your current safeguards, procedures, and documentation against applicable NIST SP 800-171 requirements. You'll receive a prioritized roadmap that highlights deficiencies, implementation priorities, and recommended corrective actions.

Technical Remediation

Implement approved security improvements designed to strengthen protection of sensitive information. This may include multifactor authentication, access controls, endpoint protection, Microsoft 365 security, logging, vulnerability management, backup protection, and other technical safeguards.

FAQ

Does every defense contractor need CMMC Level 2?

No. CMMC requirements depend on the specific contract, solicitation, customer flow-down requirements, and the type of information your organization handles.

Companies that process, store, or transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) should review their contract requirements carefully to determine their obligations. Do not assume that every defense contract requires the same level of compliance.

What is the current CMMC status?

As of October 7, 2026, CMMC Phase II implementation remains suspended while the program undergoes review. During this period, applicable self-assessment requirements remain in place, and organizations should continue following contractual cybersecurity requirements and applicable NIST SP 800-171 obligations.

Always review current contract language, customer requirements, and official guidance before making compliance decisions.

How long does CMMC readiness take?

The timeline depends on several factors, including:

  • The size of your organization
  • The number of users and locations
  • The amount of CUI being handled
  • Existing cybersecurity safeguards
  • Documentation maturity
  • Technical remediation requirements
  • Available implementation evidence
Organizations with mature security programs may require significantly less effort than those starting from scratch. A readiness assessment is typically the best way to determine an accurate timeline.

How much does CMMC consulting cost?

How much does CMMC consulting cost?

The cost of a CMMC project varies based on the complexity of your environment, the scope of systems involved, existing documentation, technical remediation needs, and the amount of assistance required.
Most organizations begin with a readiness assessment to identify gaps and establish a practical roadmap before committing to larger remediation efforts.
