USC Intel helps defense contractors get their compliance documentation organized before a C3PAO assessor or prime contractor arrives. Gap inventories. Policy packages. POA&M tracking. Evidence libraries. No technical assessments. No false promises. Just documentation done right.
The DoD doesn't care that you're a small business. No documentation, no SPRS score. No SPRS score, no contract. The numbers are stark.
Of defense contractors were not CMMC ready as of Q4 2025. The gap is documentation, not intent.
The 2024 DIB average. Required score is 110. The gap is 122 points — mostly traceable to missing documentation.
Of contractors report a negative SPRS score — meaning more than half of all 110 controls are undocumented or unimplemented.
Once assessed, conditional certification requires all open POA&Ms closed within 180 days. Few contractors track this systematically.
We organize your documentation, build your policies, and manage your remediation process. We do not perform technical assessments or guarantee compliance outcomes — and we'll put that in writing.
We inventory every compliance document you currently have — or don't have — against the 14 NIST 800-171 control families. You get a clear gap list and priority order. No scoring. No certification claims.
We draft and populate your core compliance policy documents using your environment details. Every document is marked DRAFT and requires review by your qualified IT provider before any formal use.
We own your POA&M tracker — assigning owners, tracking deadlines, coordinating your IT provider, and producing monthly status reports for your leadership team.
Our clients have active DoD relationships, handle CUI, and face prime contractor pressure to show documented CMMC status — but lack the internal staff to organize their compliance paperwork.
Precision machining, electronics, aerospace components. High CUI exposure, low documentation maturity.

A clear, structured process — every client knows exactly what happens at each stage, from the initial call to handing a complete document package to their C3PAO.
We review your SAM.gov profile, contract types, and what compliance documents you currently have. We give you a plain-English picture of your documentation gaps. No charge, no obligation.
We inventory all existing policies, procedures, and compliance documents against the 14 NIST 800-171 control families. You receive a gap report, priority list, and documentation checklist.
We draft and populate your SSP, Incident Response Plan, Access Control Policy, and supporting documents. All delivered as DRAFT, reviewed by your IT provider.
We own the remediation tracker — weekly status updates, owner coordination, IT provider follow-up, and monthly leadership reports.
When your IT provider confirms technical controls are in place, we compile your complete document package — organized evidence library, finalized policies, SSP, and POA&M record. Ready for C3PAO or prime contractor review.
Most people trying to sell CMMC services have never been in the federal contractor system. They don't know what a CAGE code looks like on a contract vehicle. They've never navigated SAM.gov, never dealt with a prime contractor's flow-down requirements, and don't understand why the distinction between "documented" and "implemented" matters so much legally.
USC Intel is different. We are a registered federal contractor with an active CAGE code (19HB3), active SAM.gov registration, and real experience in the compliance documentation world. When we sit across from your contracts manager or operations lead, we speak their language.
We are also completely transparent about what we are not. We don't perform formal assessments. We don't submit SPRS scores on your behalf. We don't certify your compliance. We organize your documentation, build your policies, and manage your remediation process — and we put all of that in writing in our engagement letter before we start.
What we can promise: when a C3PAO walks in the door, your paperwork will be ready.
