CMMC Readiness

Get to evidence-grade before your prime asks for it.

The DoD CMMC program assesses contractor and subcontractor implementation of safeguarding requirements for Federal Contract Information and Controlled Unclassified Information, and ties required CMMC status to applicable contract awards (DoD CIO CMMC overview). Level 2 is centered on the 110 security requirements in NIST SP 800-171.

  • Scope & asset categorization for FCI and CUI
  • NIST SP 800-171 control mapping across all 14 families
  • System Security Plan (SSP) and POA&M starter structures
  • External Service Provider (ESP) documentation notes
  • Risk-ranked remediation roadmap with 30/60/90-day plan

Readiness, not certification. Sanctum SecOps provides CMMC readiness consulting. We are not a C3PAO and do not issue CMMC certifications. Engage a certified C3PAO for formal CMMC Level 2 assessment.
PKI & Zero Trust

A trust foundation that holds up under inspection.

Hardware-backed root-of-trust, certificate-based authentication, and zero-trust network access are still rare for SMB-focused providers. We design PKI and identity systems that survive board questions, cyber-insurance underwriting, and CMMC evidence requests — without enterprise tooling sprawl.

  • Vault PKI, ADCS, and YubiKey-backed root and intermediate CA workflows
  • SSH CA concepts and SCEP integration for managed devices
  • Certificate inventory, revocation/CRL/OCSP, and lifecycle automation
  • Conditional access, MFA enforcement, admin separation
  • NetBird / Traefik / DNS / routing — ZTNA without expensive overlays

Microsoft Security

Make Microsoft 365 stop being your biggest open door.

Most SMB compromises don't start with novel zero-days — they start with overshared mailboxes, missing conditional access, dormant admin accounts, and unmanaged endpoints. Our Microsoft hardening sprint takes Entra ID, Intune, and Defender from default to defensible.

  • MFA enforcement & phishing-resistant authentication paths
  • Conditional access baseline tuned to user roles, not theory
  • Admin role separation, break-glass & PIM workflows
  • Intune device compliance & security baselines
  • Documentation package your auditor and insurer will accept

Fractional CISO

The security leader your board needs — at the budget your CFO accepted.

A vCISO retainer gives you continuity of security governance without the cost of a full-time hire. We build the risk register, own the policy roadmap, sit in front of the board, and run the program — quietly and competently.

  • Risk register, security roadmap, and quarterly board reporting
  • Policy program (Acceptable Use, Access, IR, Data Handling, Vendor Risk)
  • Cyber insurance application support & renewal evidence
  • Incident response plan + tabletop exercise
  • Coordination with your MSP, MDR, and tooling vendors

About · Founder-Operated

An operator who has implemented these systems — not described them in a deck.

Sanctum SecOps LLC is founder-operated. Engagements are scoped, sold, and led by the same practitioner — not handed to a junior team behind a logo. That's the moat.

Practitioner background

Hands-on experience with the tooling and architecture patterns SMB and defense-adjacent organizations actually run: Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, Atera RMM, WatchGuard firewalls, UniFi networks, HashiCorp Vault, ADCS, YubiKey HSM workflows, Docker, NetBird, Traefik, PowerShell and Python automation, Windows and Linux infrastructure.

Operating principles

  • Documentation is the deliverable. Every engagement leaves diagrams, asset inventory, policy, configuration summaries, and a backlog.
  • Outcomes over hours. Reduced ambiguity, better identity control, audit evidence, vendor visibility, cleaner insurance posture, board-ready reporting.
  • No vendor theatre. We use, configure, and document the tools you already pay for before we recommend new spend.
  • Independence. No conflicts with current employer; no exposure of confidential systems; clean IP separation.
