FRUSTRATED WITH CMMC?
YOU HAVE GOOD REASON TO BE CONFUSED.
In our experience, every new defense contractor we have reviewed had errors in its CMMC scope—which meant its SPRS score was wrong and it was preparing the wrong environment for assessment.

Tell us where you are. We'll tell you if a Quick Start makes sense.
CMMC CHANGED YOUR CYBERSECURITY OBLIGATIONS DIDN'T.
The Department of War indefinitely paused the CMMC Phase II requirements for a paid assessment while it reviews the program. But applicable Level 2 self-assessments, NIST SP 800-171 requirements, SPRS scores, contractual agreements, government oversight audits, and prime contractor requirements did not disappear.
Not sure what the changes mean for your company?

MOST CMMC PROBLEMS START WITH THE SCOPE.
In our experience reviewing defense contractors,
we have yet to see a new client arrive with its CMMC scope completely correct.
BEFORE YOU SPEND MORE MONEY TRYING TO FIX CMMC, MAKE SURE YOU ARE FIXING THE RIGHT THINGS.

What does $ 4,995 protect?
Your defense contracts. Your SPRS score. Your CMMC investment. Your company.
CMMC isn't about securing everything.
It's about correctly identifying what must be protected.
Correct scope can help identify:
What is IN & What can stay OUT
Where FCI and CUI are processed, stored, transmitted, accessed—
and which people, systems, facilities and service providers are part of that environment.
It's also about things you cannot outsource, including facility security, HR, insider threat training, and machine maintenance.
MSPs: YOU DON'T HAVE TO BECOME A COMPLIANCE EXPERT
Bring us in. Stay involved. Help your client get CMMC right. Get paid.
We work alongside you—providing independent CMMC guidance
while you continue to deliver the IT and cybersecurity services your client needs.
We pay referral fees when your client engages with us.
WE DON'T COMPETE WITH MSPs.
Semel Consulting does not sell IT products or managed IT services.
When our CMMC work identifies technology or cybersecurity improvements, we work with the client's MSP so they can provide the solutions.
You can also earn a referral fee when you introduce us to a client who engages Semel Consulting.

CMMC isn't just an IT problem.
It's a revenue problem.
A misunderstanding about CMMC scope can affect whether your company can accurately assess itself,
support your SPRS self-assessment score, satisfy contract requirements, and remain eligible for defense business.
For some contractors, millions of dollars in current and future contracts may depend on getting this right.
Your SPRS score is a representation to the government.
Many contractors calculate an SPRS score without fully understanding
their assessment scope or the evidence needed to support the score
in a government or prime contractor audit.
If the scope is wrong, the score may be wrong.
And if a contractor knowingly or recklessly submits information that is materially inaccurate,
that can create significant legal and False Claims Act exposure
for the company and the affirming owner or senior executive.
Incorrect cybersecurity representations can become much more than an IT problem.
Can you prove the score your company submitted?
Not sure? Call us before you guess.
Even good MSPs can get CMMC scoping wrong.

Cybersecurity expertise and CMMC assessment expertise are not the same thing.
A good MSP nearly lost an important defense-contractor client because of a misunderstanding about CMMC scope.
The MSP wasn't incompetent. The problem was that CMMC scoping works differently from normal cybersecurity thinking.
Once the scope was clarified, the situation changed.
Five Questions Every Defense Contractor Owner or Executive Should Ask:
Can we prove our CMMC scope is correct?
Can we prove our SPRS score?
Do we know everywhere CUI goes?
Do we know what our MSP and cloud services own —and what we own?
Would management confidently stand behind our assessment during a government review?
If you cannot answer all five with confidence, call us.

It can also lead to:
Months of wasted remediation and consulting expense
Government assessment or audit problems
An SPRS score that cannot be supported
Loss of eligibility for contracts requiring the applicable CMMC status
Potential False Claims Act exposure if materially inaccurate representations are knowingly made to the government
