C3 Integrated Solutions Launches C3 Suite for CMMC Level 2 Compliance

In an exciting announcement during the National 8(a) Conference in New Orleans, C3 Integrated Solutions introduced the C3 Suite, a suite of managed solutions tailored for the U.S. Defense Industrial Base. This initiative aims to facilitate defense contractors in achieving CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) Level 2 compliance, thus enhancing their cybersecurity resilience and overall operational efficiency.

Marc Pantoni, the CEO of C3 Integrated Solutions, emphasized the complexity of attaining CMMC Level 2 compliance, highlighting that it requires specialized expertise across three critical domains: IT, cybersecurity, and compliance. Pantoni stated, “Our clients can’t risk non-compliance, so as their partner, our goal is simple: implement, maintain, and administer a CMMC program that eliminates uncertainty, accelerates compliance, and ensures our clients are prepared for assessment success.” This objective aligns with C3's mission to provide clients with secure, scalable IT operations beyond compliance requirements.

The C3 Suite consists of three distinct solutions: C3 Command, C3 Catalyst, and C3 Core. Each solution is crafted to address specific client needs related to CMMC Level 2 compliance or beyond.

Understanding the C3 Suite

1. C3 Command: This is the most prescriptive offering, designed to provide a rapid and clearly defined path to CMMC Level 2 compliance. With its proprietary reference architecture, C3 Command streamlines the implementation of all 320 Level 2 assessment objectives, potentially reducing the time taken to meet compliance expectations significantly. Notably, C3 takes on the responsibility of achieving 80% of these compliance objectives, alleviating some of the internal resource burdens on contractors who prioritize speed and efficiency.

2. C3 Catalyst: This solution strikes a balance between assurance and flexibility, providing clients with robust support while allowing for some adaptability to meet diverse requirements. For organizations that may already have compliance consulting partners, C3 Catalyst ensures they still have access to a secure and reliable technical infrastructure.

3. C3 Core: The most flexible of the three, C3 Core offers comprehensive IT and security services for environments outside of CMMC compliance. It ensures that clients can maintain the same high standards of operational excellence and security without the added complexities specific to CMMC requirements.

Ryan Heidorn, C3’s CTO, asserted, “CMMC compliance shouldn’t be a guessing game. With C3 Command and C3 Catalyst, we’re offering a structured, repeatable approach that removes uncertainty, minimizes risk, and ensures compliance success.” This assurance extends even to clients operating in non-CMMC environments through the C3 Core service.

Commitment to CMMC Readiness

C3 Integrated Solutions distinguishes itself through its profound understanding of the CMMC certification process. With a track record of supporting numerous CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAO), C3 possesses invaluable insights that guide defense contractors in navigating the intricate landscape of compliance. In addition to being a Microsoft AOS-G Partner and a CMMC Registered Provider Organization (RPO), these credentials position C3 uniquely to assist defense contractors in their compliance journeys.

In conclusion, with the introduction of the C3 Suite, defense contractors can now confidently approach their compliance and cybersecurity challenges with expert support. Whether they need an end-to-end solution like C3 Command, a flexible compliance-ready environment with C3 Catalyst, or foundational IT management from C3 Core, C3 Integrated Solutions is dedicated to ensuring their clients' success and long-term security in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
