KTL Solutions Helps Akiak Technology Achieve CMMC Level 2 Certification Successfully

KTL Solutions Guides Akiak Technology to CMMC Level 2 Success

KTL Solutions, LLC, a prominent Microsoft Solutions Partner and Managed Service Provider (MSP), recently played a pivotal role in assisting Akiak Technology LLC in achieving the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 assessment. This accomplishment marks an important milestone for Akiak Technology, making it one of the first tribally-owned small businesses to reach this critical certification.

The Journey Begins

KTL Solutions first connected with Akiak Technology in December 2024, when the CMMC rule was implemented. Understanding the urgent need for compliance, Akiak Technology aimed to achieve complete certification before the Department of Defense (DoD) began requiring CMMC in some contracts later in 2025.

Timothy Lally, the President and Owner of KTL Solutions, emphasized that their mission went beyond mere compliance. He stated, "This was not just about compliance. It was about enabling Akiak Technology to step confidently into the defense sector with a secure and validated infrastructure." The success of Akiak Technology not only uplifts the business but also contributes significantly to the economic development of its community in Akiak, Alaska.

Strategic Support and Technical Guidance

KTL Solutions provided comprehensive technical guidance that led to the successful deployment of a FedRAMP-certified Microsoft Government Community Cloud High (GCC High) enclave for Akiak Technology. This strategic partnership was key in ensuring that Akiak Technology was not only ready for the audit but equipped with the necessary tools to comply with the stringent CMMC requirements.

Through the integration of AI technology, KTL Solutions was able to centralize risk identification, streamline compliance and audit processes, and enhance the overall review and analysis of Akiak's business operations. Lally noted that their support extended through various phases of the C3PAO assessment, including interviews and control testing, to ensure successful navigation of the compliance journey.

Impressively, Akiak Technology achieved a perfect score of 110 in their CMMC Level 2 assessment—an indication of the rigorous preparation and expertise applied throughout the process. This outstanding score underscores the successful collaboration between both entities and reflects KTL's deep commitment to aiding its clients in overcoming compliance challenges.
