The challenge

The contractor faced an urgent deadline to achieve Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 or risk losing eligibility for critical Department of Defense (DoD) contracts. The 110 controls required for CMMC 2.0 Level 2 were complex and overwhelming to implement and document without specialized expertise.

It also lacked the advanced 24/7 monitoring and response capabilities needed to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) to government standards.

02

The approach

The contractor procured Vijilan's managed service directly through the AWS Marketplace, which significantly streamlined and accelerated the entire procurement and deployment process.

The turnkey solution provided a comprehensive security program that mapped directly to CMMC 2.0 controls, including 24/7 monitoring, managed EDR, and audit-ready reporting.

03

The outcome

Vijilan's rapid onboarding and expert management enabled the contractor to become fully compliant and audit-ready in six weeks. It passed its CMMC assessment with 100% audit success — without a single issue.

"The CMMC deadline was a make-or-break moment for our business. We didn't have the time or expertise to build a compliant program from scratch. Finding Vijilan on the AWS Marketplace was a lifesaver. Their team got us deployed and audit-ready in just six weeks, and we passed our assessment without a single issue."
— CEO, Defense Contractor
