POA&Ms are limited.
Level 1 doesn't allow them. At Levels 2 and 3, only certain requirements can be on a POA&M at assessment time, and those items must be closed within 180 days to keep conditional status.
Compliance & CMMC Readiness
Compliance you can show an assessor.
JUEM GLOBAL helps defense contractors, cloud providers, and agencies meet CMMC, NIST, FedRAMP, and RMF requirements with hands-on engineering, accurate documentation, and evidence that holds up.
Why This Matters
Controls that are implemented, documented, and provable.
Federal contracts increasingly require contractors to show how they protect government information. For Department of Defense work, CMMC ties contract eligibility to a verified level of cybersecurity. For cloud services sold to agencies, FedRAMP sets the bar. For federal systems, the Risk Management Framework governs authorization to operate. Each one requires the same thing: controls that are actually implemented, plus the documentation and evidence to prove it.
Understanding CMMC 2.0
Three levels, matched to the information you handle.
CMMC 2.0 has three levels. The level in a contract depends on the type of information you will handle.
| Level | Protects | Requirements | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Federal Contract Information (FCI) | 15 basic safeguarding requirements from FAR 52.204-21 | Annual self-assessment and affirmation, entered in SPRS |
| Level 2 | Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) | 110 requirements from NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 | Self-assessment or a C3PAO assessment every three years, as the contract specifies, plus annual affirmation |
| Level 3 | CUI for the highest-priority programs | Level 2 plus 24 selected requirements from NIST SP 800-172 | Government-led assessment (DCMA DIBCAC) every three years, after Level 2 certification by a C3PAO |
Scope drives cost.
Clearly defining where FCI and CUI live, and keeping that boundary tight, is one of the most effective ways to reduce compliance effort.
Requirements are still evolving.
DoD has adjusted the CMMC rollout timeline. We follow current guidance so your plan stays aligned with what solicitations actually require.
How We Help
Readiness, remediation, and documentation support.
CMMC 2.0 readiness
Scoping, asset categorization, and a readiness assessment against Level 1 or Level 2 requirements. We prepare you for a self-assessment or a third-party assessment, including your SPRS score.
NIST SP 800-171 and 800-53 gap assessments
A requirement-by-requirement review of your current state, with findings ranked by risk and assessment impact. Then a practical remediation roadmap.
SSP and POA&M support
We write or update System Security Plans that describe what is actually deployed. We also build POA&Ms with clear owners, milestones, and closure evidence.
Technical remediation
We implement the fixes in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments: identity and MFA, encryption, logging, configuration baselines, vulnerability management, and boundary protection, defined in code where possible.
FedRAMP readiness
For cloud service providers, we support boundary definition, control implementation at the Low, Moderate, or High baseline, documentation, and preparation for 3PAO assessment.
Risk Management Framework (RMF)
Support across all seven NIST SP 800-37 steps: Prepare, Categorize, Select, Implement, Assess, Authorize, and Monitor. This includes ATO package preparation.
Continuous monitoring
Ongoing control monitoring aligned with NIST SP 800-137: automated configuration checks, vulnerability scanning, log review, POA&M upkeep, and evidence collection, so you stay ready between assessments.
Our Approach
From scope to sustained readiness.
01
Scope
Identify the contract requirement, data types (FCI, CUI), and system boundary.
02
Assess
Measure your current state against the applicable framework.
03
Remediate
Close gaps, highest impact first, using repeatable infrastructure-as-code.
04
Document
Align the SSP, policies, and POA&M with what is actually in place.
05
Sustain
Monitor continuously and keep evidence current.
