Defense suppliers know the drill. CMMC deadlines loom, documentation requests pile up, and suddenly you're pulling all-nighters trying to piece together compliance evidence from spreadsheets scattered across three different drives.
It doesn't have to be this way.
CPE Level 2 flips the script entirely. Instead of scrambling when auditors come knocking, you're sitting pretty with 100% CMMC 2.0 Level 2 compliance already locked and loaded.
The Last-Minute Scramble Problem
Most defense suppliers face the same nightmare scenario:
- Fragmented security implementations across multiple vendors
- Documentation gaps that only surface during pre-audit reviews
- Patchwork fixes that create new vulnerabilities while solving old ones
- Internal teams stretched thin trying to become cybersecurity experts overnight
- Audit anxiety because nobody's really sure if everything actually works together
The result? Panic mode. Emergency consulting fees. Rushed implementations that barely pass muster. And the constant fear that your next contract depends on compliance you're not 100% confident about.
Why CPE Level 2 Changes Everything
CPE Level 2 isn't just another security product: it's your entire CMMC compliance infrastructure, fully managed, fully documented, and ready for audit from day one.
Here's what separates it from the scramble:
Complete Coverage, Zero Gaps
110 NIST SP 800-171 controls. 320 CMMC objectives. Every single requirement covered. No hunting through vendor documentation wondering if control AC-3.017 is actually implemented. It just is.
Documentation That Actually Exists
Remember those spreadsheets you can never find? Gone. CPE Level 2 comes with:
- Complete system security plans
- Real-time compliance monitoring
- Audit trail documentation for every control
- Evidence packages ready for assessor review
No more "I know we implemented that somewhere" conversations.
Real Engineers, Not Chatbots
When you need answers, you get actual cybersecurity engineers who built your environment. Not tier-1 support reading from scripts. These engineers know your CPE Level 2 inside and out because they've deployed hundreds of them.
The Audit-Ready Advantage
Being audit-ready isn't just about passing compliance checks: it's about winning more business with confidence.
4-Week Deployment Timeline
While competitors spend months piecing together solutions, your CPE Level 2 is fully operational in 4 weeks. Complete with:
- Network segmentation for CUI protection
- Integrated backup systems
- Multi-factor authentication across all access points
- Continuous monitoring with real-time alerting
- Incident response capabilities
No Surprise Findings
The worst part of any audit? Surprise non-compliance findings that derail everything. With CPE Level 2, every control is continuously validated. Your compliance posture is transparent, documented, and verifiable 24/7.
Annual Self-Assessment Support
CMMC requires annual self-assessments between formal audits. Most suppliers dread these. CPE Level 2 customers get guided self-assessment support with:
- Pre-populated assessment templates
- Evidence compilation assistance
- Compliance gap identification and remediation
- Senior official attestation preparation
Managed Operations vs. DIY Disaster
The biggest mistake defense suppliers make? Thinking they can cobble together CMMC compliance internally.
What DIY Actually Costs
- Internal staff time pulled from core business functions
- Multiple vendor relationships to manage and coordinate
- Integration headaches when products don't play nice together
- Training costs to bring teams up to speed on cybersecurity
- Audit preparation panic every three years
What CPE Level 2 Includes
CPE Level 2 is fully managed operations from the ground up:
- 24/7 security operations center monitoring
- Patch management across all systems
- Threat detection and response
- Configuration management to prevent drift
- Regular compliance validation
- Quarterly vCISO sessions for strategic planning
Translation: Your team focuses on winning contracts, not wrestling with cybersecurity.
The End of Patchwork Fixes
Most compliance solutions are Frankenstein monsters: bits and pieces stitched together, hoping they work as a cohesive whole.
CPE Level 2 is different. It's purpose-built for CMMC compliance with every component selected and integrated specifically for defense contractor requirements.
Integrated Security Architecture
- Hardware, software, and services designed to work together
- Single point of accountability for all compliance elements
- Unified logging and monitoring across the entire stack
- Coordinated incident response without vendor finger-pointing
- Streamlined updates that maintain compliance posture
No Compatibility Issues
Ever had a security update break your backup system? Or a firewall change that knocked out your monitoring? With CPE Level 2, all components are tested together before any changes reach your environment.
Real Support When You Need It
Support tickets that disappear into the void. "Solutions" that create new problems. Vendor support that makes you miss the days of talking to a brick wall.
CPE Level 2 support is different because the engineers actually built your environment.
Engineer-Level Response
- Direct access to the engineers who designed your CPE
- Same-day response for critical issues
- Next business day hardware replacement
- Proactive monitoring that catches problems before they impact operations
Audit Support That Actually Helps
When audit time comes, you get dedicated support throughout the entire process:
- Pre-audit readiness reviews
- Assessor coordination and technical discussions
- Real-time evidence compilation
- Finding remediation if any issues surface
- Post-audit compliance maintenance
Beyond Compliance: Operational Benefits
CPE Level 2 isn't just about checking CMMC boxes: it makes your business more efficient and secure.
Simplified IT Operations
- One vendor relationship instead of managing multiple security tools
- Predictable monthly costs with no hidden fees
- Automated patching that doesn't break business systems
- Centralized user management across all systems
- Integrated backup with automated testing
Business Continuity Built-In
When systems go down, contracts are at risk. CPE Level 2 includes:
- High availability configurations for critical systems
- Disaster recovery with tested restoration procedures
- Business continuity planning aligned with CMMC requirements
- Incident response that minimizes business impact
The Bottom Line
Defense contracting is competitive enough without compliance uncertainty adding stress to every bid.
CPE Level 2 eliminates that uncertainty. You know you're compliant. Your auditors know you're compliant. Most importantly, your customers know you're compliant.
No more last-minute scrambles. No more sleepless nights before audits. No more wondering if your patchwork solution will hold up under scrutiny.
Just rock-solid CMMC compliance that lets you focus on what you do best: supporting our nation's defense.
