Managed IT & Cybersecurity for Government Contractors & Public Sector

CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is the DoD’s program requiring defense contractors and subcontractors to achieve third-party certification of their cybersecurity practices. CMMC Level 2 certification requires assessment by a C3PAO (Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization) against all 110 security requirements in NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 and applies to contracts involving Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). CMMC Level 1 (17 basic safeguarding requirements) requires annual self-assessment submitted to SPRS. The program is phasing in across all DoD contracts through 2028. Triton Technologies implements and manages the NIST SP 800-171 technical controls required for CMMC compliance and develops the System Security Plans and POA&Ms required for assessment.

CMMC Level 2 maps directly to NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2, which organizes 110 security requirements across 14 control families: Access Control (AC), Awareness and Training (AT), Audit and Accountability (AU), Configuration Management (CM), Identification and Authentication (IA), Incident Response (IR), Maintenance (MA), Media Protection (MP), Personnel Security (PS), Physical Protection (PE), Risk Assessment (RA), Security Assessment (CA), System and Communications Protection (SC), and System and Information Integrity (SI). Triton Technologies implements technical controls across all 14 families, maintaining the documentation and evidence required to support C3PAO assessment and ongoing SPRS score maintenance.

Triton Technologies develops and maintains System Security Plans (SSPs) that document your organization’s implementation of each of the 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls — describing the control, the system environment, and the specific configuration or procedure implementing the requirement. We also develop Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&Ms) for controls not yet fully implemented, track remediation milestones, calculate your SPRS score, and maintain the documentation package required for CMMC self-assessment and C3PAO assessment preparation. SSPs are living documents — Triton Technologies keeps them current as your environment changes.

CISA’s State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) provides federal funding to state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments for cybersecurity planning, implementation, and exercises. FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program includes cybersecurity components for eligible infrastructure projects. Many states also offer additional cybersecurity grant programs to municipalities and county governments. Triton Technologies works with government clients as a vCIO partner to identify applicable grant opportunities, develop technology plans aligned to grant requirements, and manage procurement processes consistent with government purchasing procedures.

Microsoft 365 Government Community Cloud (GCC) satisfies some but not all CMMC requirements for CUI handling. GCC High is the more appropriate choice for DFARS 252.204-7012 compliance and CMMC Level 2 for most DoD contractor CUI workloads, as it provides FedRAMP High authorization and ITAR/EAR compliance features. However, the cloud environment alone does not achieve CMMC compliance — the organization must also implement proper configuration controls, conditional access policies, DLP, audit logging, and administrative procedures. Triton Technologies implements and manages Microsoft 365 GCC/GCC High environments with the full configuration control stack required for CMMC assessment.

Triton Technologies deploys a layered ransomware defense for government clients: Sophos endpoint detection and response (EDR) with managed threat response (MTR) that actively hunts and contains threats before encryption can propagate; network segmentation that limits lateral movement; multi-factor authentication (MFA) that blocks credential-based initial access; email security filtering to intercept phishing campaigns; automated encrypted backups with tested recovery procedures (tested quarterly, not just annual); and incident response plans with documented recovery procedures specific to ransomware scenarios. Our government clients have documented recovery time objectives and tested procedures — not just a policy document.

Yes. Triton Technologies maintains the technical documentation, configuration records, and security evidence that state auditors and assessors typically request: network topology diagrams, MFA deployment records, patch management reports, backup test results, security awareness training completion records, and incident response plan documentation. We prepare government clients for audits by conducting pre-audit readiness assessments, identifying documentation gaps, and remediating findings before the formal audit window. For CMMC assessments, we coordinate directly with C3PAOs to provide technical evidence and explain control implementations in assessment language.
