Prepare for CMMC with a Trusted IT Partner

Whether you’re pursuing a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 1, or preparing your organization for a future Level 2 certification assessment, Office Automation Technologies helps you build a practical roadmap, strengthen your security posture, and navigate the compliance process with confidence.

While we don’t perform official CMMC certification audits, we work alongside your team to identify gaps, implement security best practices, and prepare your organization for a successful self-assessment (Level 1), or an assessment by an authorized third party (Level 2).

Why CMMC Matters

If your organization works with the Department of Defense or supports companies within the Defense Industrial Base, CMMC may soon become a contractual requirement.

Meeting those requirements isn’t simply about checking boxes. It requires documented security practices, ongoing operational processes, and confidence that your environment can withstand increasing cybersecurity threats.

The earlier your organization begins preparing, the easier it becomes to address gaps before certification deadlines impact your business. CMMC implementation is being phased into DoD contracting requirements over time.

How We Help

Rather than dropping you into hundreds of pages of documentation, we help simplify the process into manageable steps.

Readiness Planning

We work with your leadership team to understand your environment, determine which CMMC requirements apply to your business, and create a practical implementation roadmap.

Gap Assessments

We review your existing technology, policies, and security controls to identify areas requiring attention before pursuing certification.

Security Improvements

Our engineers help implement and strengthen the technical safeguards that support CMMC requirements, including:

• Multi-Factor Authentication
• Endpoint Protection
• Secure Backups
• Microsoft 365 Security
• Identity and Access Management
• Network Security
• Device Management
• Security Awareness Training
• Documentation and Policy Guidance

Level 1 Self-Assessment Support

Organizations pursuing CMMC Level 1 complete an annual self-assessment and submit results through the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS). We help you understand the requirements, gather supporting evidence, and prepare for the self-assessment process. Level 1 requires meeting all applicable requirements and does not permit Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&Ms).

Coordination for Level 2 Certification

If your contract requires a Level 2 certification assessment, we’ll help prepare your organization and coordinate with an authorized Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO), who performs the official assessment and issues certification decisions. OATI does not perform these certification assessments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can OATI help with CMMC Level 1?

Yes. We can assist with readiness planning, implementation, documentation, and preparation for the required annual self-assessment.

Can OATI certify my company for CMMC Level 2?

No. Official Level 2 certification assessments must be completed by an authorized Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO). Our role is to help prepare your organization before that assessment.

Do I need CMMC?

If your organization handles Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) as part of Department of Defense contracts, CMMC requirements may apply depending on the contract.

How long does CMMC readiness take?

Every organization is different. The timeline depends on your current security posture, documentation, and the CMMC level you’re pursuing. Some businesses need only a few targeted improvements, while others require a more comprehensive roadmap.

Can you work alongside our existing IT, compliance, or legal team?

Absolutely. We frequently collaborate with internal IT staff, compliance consultants, leadership teams, and external assessors to help organizations prepare for certification.
