CMMC Compliance in Duluth, GA

CMMC Compliance Services for Duluth, GA Businesses and Defense Contractors

If your Duluth-based company holds a Department of Defense contract or sits anywhere in the defense industrial base supply chain, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 framework is not optional. COMNEXIA, headquartered in Roswell, GA and operating since 1991, helps Gwinnett County manufacturers, engineering firms, and government suppliers achieve and document CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 compliance before an assessment costs them a contract renewal. Call (877) 600-6550 to schedule a gap assessment.

What CMMC 2.0 Actually Requires for Duluth Contractors

CMMC 2.0 Level 2 maps directly to the 110 security practices in NIST SP 800-171. Those practices cover 14 control families including access control, incident response, media protection, and system and communications protection. For a Duluth company handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), that means implementing verifiable, documented controls, not just attesting to a checklist. The Department of Defense began enforcing CMMC requirements through the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clause 252.204-7021, which requires contractors to have a current assessment score in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS).

COMNEXIA begins every CMMC engagement with a documented gap assessment that maps your current environment against all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls, produces your preliminary SPRS score, and identifies the remediation steps needed before a C3PAO third-party assessment.

The Technical Controls COMNEXIA Configures for CMMC Readiness

Generic policy documents do not pass a CMMC assessment. Auditors examine actual configurations, logs, and evidence. COMNEXIA deploys and documents the following named controls as part of every Level 2 engagement:

• Microsoft Entra ID conditional access and MFA: Every user account accessing CUI systems requires phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication. COMNEXIA configures Entra ID conditional access policies to enforce compliant device state, block legacy authentication protocols, and restrict access by location, satisfying NIST SP 800-171 control 3.5.3 and 3.13.5.
• SentinelOne EDR with 24/7 SOC monitoring: Endpoint detection and response is deployed on every workstation and server handling CUI. COMNEXIA's SOC monitors SentinelOne alerts around the clock, providing the incident response capability required under NIST SP 800-171 control family 3.6.
• Microsoft Defender for Cloud: For clients running Azure-hosted workloads or hybrid environments, COMNEXIA enables Defender for Cloud to provide continuous configuration assessment, regulatory compliance dashboards mapped to NIST 800-171, and threat protection across compute, storage, and network resources.
• Immutable, off-site backups using a 3-2-1 architecture: Three copies of CUI data, on two different media types, with one copy stored off-site and immutable. This directly addresses the media protection and contingency planning controls under NIST SP 800-171 control families 3.8 and 3.11.
• Phishing-simulation security awareness training: CMMC Level 2 requires a documented security awareness program. COMNEXIA runs recurring phishing simulations and tracks completion rates, providing the evidence an assessor needs for control 3.2.1 and 3.2.2.
• RMM-based patch management via NinjaOne: All endpoints and servers are enrolled in NinjaOne for automated patch deployment with documented remediation timelines, satisfying the system and information integrity requirements under control 3.14.1 and 3.14.4.
• System Security Plan (SSP) and Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M): COMNEXIA produces and maintains the written SSP and POA&M required for SPRS submission and third-party assessment readiness.

CMMC and Auto Dealerships in Gwinnett County

Duluth-area auto dealerships are not typically prime defense contractors, but dealerships that also operate fleet service divisions or government vehicle contracts can carry CUI obligations. More immediately relevant, dealerships already face overlapping compliance pressure from the FTC Safeguards Rule (16 CFR 314.4), which requires a written information security program, multi-factor authentication, encryption of customer data in transit and at rest, and annual penetration testing for any dealership that qualifies as a financial institution under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. COMNEXIA works with dealerships running CDK Global, Reynolds and Reynolds, and Dealertrack DMS platforms to map Safeguards Rule controls against the same technical infrastructure used for CMMC, reducing duplicate effort and audit overhead. If your Duluth dealership needs to satisfy both FTC Safeguards and CMMC simultaneously, COMNEXIA can build a unified control environment that satisfies both frameworks without running two separate compliance programs.

Monthly Reporting and Continuous Compliance for Duluth Businesses

CMMC is not a one-time certification for most Level 2 contractors. Controls must remain operational between assessments. COMNEXIA delivers monthly compliance reporting that documents patch status from NinjaOne, MFA enforcement rates from Entra ID, SOC alert summaries from SentinelOne, and backup verification logs. That documentation trail is exactly what a C3PAO assessor reviews when evaluating whether your controls are maintained, not just installed.
