The cybersecurity industry is flooded with snake oil salesmen promising quick fixes and overnight compliance miracles. When it comes to CMMC 2.0 compliance, your defense contracts are too valuable to gamble on inexperienced vendors who learned cybersecurity from YouTube tutorials.
At Planet Security Inc., we've been securing servers and networks globally for decades: long before CMMC was even a concept. While the new kids on the block are still figuring out the basics, we've already battle-tested our solutions in the real world where execution trumps theory every single time.
The Problem with "Compliance Theory" Companies
Walk into any cybersecurity conference today and you'll be bombarded by consultants who can recite NIST frameworks backward but have never actually implemented a single security control in production. These compliance theorists love to talk about:
- Endless documentation projects that drain your budget
- Theoretical frameworks that sound impressive in PowerPoint
- Cookie-cutter approaches that ignore your unique environment
- Drawn-out timelines that stretch compliance projects for months
Here's the brutal truth: Your defense contracts don't care about theoretical compliance. The Department of Defense doesn't award points for pretty documentation. They want results: measurable, auditable, bulletproof security that actually works.

Why Execution-Driven Security Wins Every Time
Planet Security's approach is fundamentally different. We don't just talk about cybersecurity: we live it, breathe it, and execute it. Our decades of hands-on experience means we've seen every attack vector, weathered every cyber storm, and built solutions that actually work in the real world.
Real-World Battle Testing
While newcomers are still reading about theoretical threats, we've been defending against actual attacks for decades. Our team has:
- Secured critical infrastructure across six continents
- Defended against nation-state attacks in real-time
- Implemented over 900 hardening steps across thousands of environments
- Achieved perfect audit scores for Fortune 500 companies and defense contractors
Scientific Methodology, Not Guesswork
Our CPE Level 2 solution isn't based on marketing hype: it's built on scientific methodology and proven results. Every single security control has been:
- Tested under real attack conditions
- Validated by independent auditors
- Refined through decades of implementation experience
- Optimized for Department of Defense requirements
The CPE Level 2 Advantage: Battle-Tested CMMC Compliance
When defense contractors need guaranteed CMMC 2.0 Level 2 compliance, they don't have time for experimental solutions. They need proven, battle-tested technology that delivers results without the headaches.

100% CMMC 2.0 Level 2 Coverage
Our CPE Level 2 provides complete coverage of all 110 CMMC requirements and 320 assessment objectives. This isn't partial compliance or "close enough": this is 100% comprehensive coverage that stands up to the most rigorous audits.
4-Week Implementation Timeline
While competitors promise results "eventually," we deliver audit-ready compliance in just 4 weeks. Our streamlined implementation process eliminates the delays and confusion that plague theoretical approaches:
- Week 1: Environment assessment and configuration
- Week 2: Security control implementation
- Week 3: Integration and testing
- Week 4: Audit preparation and certification
No POA&M Tracking Required
Here's something the new kids won't tell you: Plans of Action & Milestones (POA&M) are compliance band-aids. When your security implementation is done right from the start, you don't need endless tracking of "we'll fix this later" promises.
CPE Level 2 eliminates POA&M requirements entirely because every security control is implemented correctly the first time.
Why Experience Matters in Cybersecurity
We've Seen This Movie Before
The cybersecurity landscape is littered with failed compliance projects led by inexperienced vendors. We've been here before: through every major regulatory change, every evolving threat landscape, and every industry transformation.
When FISMA was implemented, we were there. When NIST SP 800-171 became mandatory, we were ready. Now that CMMC 2.0 is rolling out, we're already three steps ahead.
Global Cyber-Attack Resilience
Planet Security's infrastructure has withstood attacks from sophisticated threat actors worldwide. Our experience defending against:
- Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)
- Nation-state sponsored attacks
- Zero-day exploits
- Insider threats
- Supply chain compromises
This real-world experience is impossible to replicate in a lab or learn from a textbook.

Outstanding Value Leadership
Experience doesn't just mean better security: it means better economics. Our decades of optimization have resulted in:
- Reduced compliance workload by up to 80%
- Streamlined audit processes that save months of preparation
- Integrated solutions that eliminate vendor sprawl
- Fixed-price implementations with no surprise costs
The Snake Oil Problem in Cybersecurity
The cybersecurity industry's rapid growth has attracted countless opportunists selling theoretical solutions to real-world problems. These vendors typically offer:
Checkbox Compliance
They focus on checking boxes rather than securing systems. Their approach treats CMMC compliance like a paperwork exercise instead of the critical security initiative it actually is.
Vendor Sprawl Solutions
New vendors love to sell you dozens of different tools that supposedly work together. The reality? Integration nightmares, security gaps, and astronomical ongoing costs.
Learning-on-Your-Dime Approaches
Many new cybersecurity companies are experimenting with their methodologies using paying customers as test subjects. Your defense contracts are too important for vendor education projects.
