CMMC Phase II is suspended. Phase I self-assessment and NIST SP 800-171 obligations remain in force. What contractors should know →
Our Mission Statement: Globe-America helps small and mid-sized federal contractors understand cybersecurity requirements, protect FCI and CUI, implement NIST SP 800-171, and build a defensible compliance program.
From DFARS, SPRS and CMMC readiness for the Defense Industrial Base to evolving federal CUI requirements, our Cyber G.A.R.D.™ Framework helps contractors determine what applies, fix what matters, and maintain the evidence to prove it.
Globe-America helps small and mid-sized federal contractors understand cybersecurity requirements, protect FCI and CUI, and build defensible compliance programs that support continued contract eligibility. We combine purpose-built compliance tools with practitioner-led advisory services to help organizations determine what applies, close implementation gaps, validate evidence, and maintain readiness as federal cybersecurity requirements evolve.
DoD primes and subcontractors handling Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information. Phase 2 third-party CMMC assessment requirements are currently suspended, but the underlying cybersecurity obligations remain. DFARS 252.204-7012 and the applicable assessment and reporting requirements continue to make your NIST SP 800-171 implementation, SSP, evidence, and compliance representations consequential.
Federal contractors supporting civilian agencies and handling Federal information. Contractors whose systems process, store, or transmit FCI may already be subject to FAR 52.204-21. The proposed rule published June 23, 2026 folds CUI handling into the new FAR Part 40 with clauses 52.240-6 and 52.240-7, a NIST SP 800-171 baseline, FedRAMP Moderate-equivalent cloud, and 72-hour incident reporting.
Our Framework
The G.A.R.D.™ Framework turns CMMC from a one-time compliance project into a structured operating lifecycle, from contract requirements and CUI scope through evidence, implementation and assessment readiness.
G
Govern the Boundary
Contract review, CUI scope, ownership, responsibilities and SPRS baseline.
Most cost overruns start here, with a boundary drawn wider than the contract actually requires.
A
Align Evidence
SSP, policies, procedures, evidence, control ownership and data-flow alignment.
An SSP that describes a system you do not operate is the fastest way to fail an assessment.
R
Reinforce Implementation
Security controls, remediation, POA&M management, training and repeatable process.
Controls that only work when someone remembers to run them are not implemented.
D
Defend the Assessment
Validation, evidence testing, interview preparation and external-review readiness.
Assessors examine, interview and test. A binder only answers the first of the three.
Start Where You Are
Do not force every contractor into the same engagement. Start with the situation that matches your contract and current maturity.
?
Get clarity on clauses, information type, CMMC level, scope and what you should or should not buy.
✓
Work through Level 1 or Level 2 requirements at your own pace and build a documented assessment record.
V
Put a second set of eyes on scope, methodology, scoring decisions, POA&M position and the story behind the number.
D
Prepare people, evidence and implementation decisions for Examine, Interview and Test, not just document review.
Self-Service Readiness
Purpose-built options for contractors that need a defensible starting position without committing to a full advisory engagement.

Built for the DIB
We work with organizations that need practical cybersecurity compliance without an enterprise-sized compliance department.
01
Protect FCI or CUI while continuing to run the business.
02
Understand and respond to prime contractor cybersecurity flowdowns.
03
Turn cybersecurity posture from a contract blocker into a growth enabler.
04
Gain greater visibility and confidence in subcontractor readiness.
Intelligence for the DIB
Practical interpretation of CMMC, DFARS, NIST and defense-industrial cybersecurity developments, without living in the regulations.

Not Ready for a Full Assessment?
The free C3 Kit gives you an executive-level indication of your current posture and where a deeper review may be warranted. It is a readiness snapshot, not a substitute for a complete Level 1 or Level 2 self-assessment.
Your Next Move
Whether you need contract clarity, an SPRS validation, NIST SP 800-171 remediation or assessment preparation, start by establishing where you actually stand.
