Stealth-ISS expands CMMC-in-a-Box™ service to include dry run assessments and certification preparation for DoD contractors. The formalized offering addresses readiness gaps as DFARS rule 252.204-7021 mandates CMMC compliance starting November 10, 2025.
-- Stealth-ISS has formally expanded its CMMC-in-a-Box™ service to explicitly include dry run assessments and certification preparation components, addressing a critical readiness gap among small and mid-sized defense contractors. While these capabilities have been integral to the company's consulting practice, the formalized service enhancement responds to mounting pressure from the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) rule 252.204-7021, which integrates CMMC requirements directly into new DoD contracts effective November 10, 2025. By making these preparation services explicit, Stealth-ISS aims to help contractors reduce audit risk before facing official third-party evaluations.

The urgency for structured preparation has never been clearer. CMMC compliance is now mandatory for DoD contractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), with requirements being phased in starting November 10, 2025. There is a recognized disconnect between perceived and actual readiness among defense contractors regarding CMMC compliance. Under the CMMC 2.0 framework, which became effective December 16, 2024, organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must meet Level 2 requirements—adhering to 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls. While some Level 2 contracts may permit self-assessments, many will require third-party validation, especially for CUI critical to national security.
Stealth-ISS brings substantial credentials to this expanded offering. As a candidate CMMC C3PAO company that has undergone the DIBCAC audit process, the firm ensures all consulting and assessments adhere to CMMC 2.0 standards, quality, and methodology. Leading the team is Dasha Davies, a CMMC Certified Assessor (CCA) and Senior Security Practitioner who was among the first 25 professionals trained on CMMC requirements and methodology in 2020. Her experience with defense contractors positions the company to deliver authoritative guidance through both dry run simulations and preparation protocols.
The dry run component serves as a formal rehearsal, evaluating the implementation and effectiveness of cybersecurity controls under simulated assessment conditions. This structured practice helps organizations reduce audit risk by ensuring personnel are prepared to present evidence and respond to assessor inquiries, bridging the gap between self-assessed readiness and the rigor of official certification. By exposing weaknesses in documentation, process execution, and staff familiarity with controls, dry runs enable contractors to address deficiencies before stakes are highest.
Certification preparation within CMMC-in-a-Box™ encompasses gap assessments, remediation planning, detailed reporting, and actionable roadmaps tailored to each organization's specific needs and operations. Stealth-ISS performs Federal Contract Information and Controlled Unclassified Information assessments alongside CMMC pre-assessments, delivering reports that clearly outline what contractors must accomplish to pass official audits. The company's approach emphasizes customization rather than one-size-fits-all solutions, recognizing that defense contractors vary widely in their existing security postures, operational environments, and resource constraints.
With mandatory compliance deadlines approaching and failure rates remaining high despite contractor confidence, small and mid-sized DoD contractors face significant business risk if unprepared. Stealth-ISS's expanded service offering provides a proven pathway to de-risk the certification process through hands-on preparation and expert guidance. Contractors seeking to secure their DoD business future can schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss customized CMMC-in-a-Box™ solutions tailored to their compliance needs.
